EVERGREEN Cruises & Tours and its sister company Emerald Waterways celebrated the christening of Emerald Radiance earlier this month at a ceremony on Portugal’s Duoro River.
The new addition is one of three ‘Star Ships’ to launch this year, with Emerald Destiny christened last month in the Austrian capital Vienna and Emerald Liberte to be christened in the French city of Lyon in Sep.
“While Emerald Radiance has been custom-built to sail the Douro, it still offers our guests modern luxury at an affordable price, and includes many of our trademark innovations,” said Evergreen general manager Angus Crichton.
“Aussies have fallen in love with Portugal and 2018 is selling well off the back of a virtually sold-out 2017 season,” he said.
Radiance carries up to 112 guests and is Emerald Waterway’s first ship in Portugal.
It will explore the World Heritage Douro region on eight-day itineraries between Porto and the Spanish city of Salamanca, with optional Lisbon extensions.
Pictured with Emerald Radiance are the ship’s godmother, UK travel agent Gill Williams, with Scenic Group owner and founder Glen Moroney.
