Dancing auroras over Arctic fjords, imperial palaces glowing gold, and baroque abbeys above misty riverbanks – this dual voyage unites Cunard and Emerald.

From Southampton, embark Queen Elizabeth for a voyage in search of the Northern Lights, tracing Norway’s dramatic coastline to remote Arctic ports beneath star-strewn skies. Time at sea unfolds in timeless elegance, while ashore the wild beauty of the far north awaits, from snow-capped peaks to atmospheric harbourside towns.

Then, from Passau, sail the Danube in the effortless comfort of Emerald Star, where each turn of the river reveals a different chapter of central Europe’s history, from imperial architecture to fairytale abbeys and timeless medieval old towns. Hotel stays in London and Munich ease the transition between ocean and river, offering a rare pairing of two exceptional cruising worlds in one seamless holiday.
