Tolkamer 14/1/2015 – We are proud to announce that the two ‘Shipyard De Hoop’ designs Emerald Sky and Emerald Star (our yard numbers 462 and 464) have been selected by the Cruise Critic Editors as “Best New River Ships” of 2014. The Cruise Critic Editor’s Picks awards are chosen by their team of editors. They state “Emerald Star and Emerald Sky are like nothing else on the rivers. Decor is straight-up modern and bright, and innovations, such as a pool with retractable roof, are a breath of fresh air. Smartly priced and inclusive enough to appeal to first-time or younger cruisers as well as seasoned travelers, Emerald’s new ships have an easygoing vibe and casual elegance.”
