Emerald Harmony is Emerald's only river ship outside Europe, a 73-metre Star-Ship announced in 2018 and sailing the Mekong since 2019. She carries 84 guests in 42 cabins with a crew of 40, and was designed to sail right into central Ho Chi Minh City. Her five decks include a sun deck with a walking track and putting green, a separate pool deck with a daytime bar, the Asian-styled Lotus Lounge, the Horizon Bar & Lounge and a spa offering Asian massage techniques. Cabins have the same drop-down balcony windows as the European fleet. Her Enchanting Mekong cruises run between Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap in Cambodia.
