If you’ve ever heard an international visitor saying they’ll “just take a quick bus ride” between Perth and Sydney, you’ll know that not all perceptions about a destination are correct. Emerald Cruises believe it’s time to rethink French river cruising in Provence. Find out what they mean on Sunday when two comedians and an adventurer Escape To Provence on an Emerald Cruises Star-Ship. Plus, win a luxury cruise!
Provence has a bit of a reputation as a destination popular with seniors with leisurely paced sailings going up and down the Rhône and Saône Rivers. Sure, you can absolutely enjoy a river cruise where walking to dinner is the main thing that gets your heart rate up. But Emerald Cruises are smashing the Provence travel myth that it’s only a place to visit when you retire – not so!
The proof is in the (French) pudding
Emerald Cruises is saying “see for yourself” by inviting comedians Lizzie Hoo and Merrick Watts, plus TV host Tyson Mayr, the editor from Escape (and a film crew) aboard its 8-day Sensations of Lyon & Provence river cruise! Take that, travel myth!
Your Sunday TV is sorted as a new ‘Escape To’ episode airs online on 26 February. Escape To is the new digital-first travel show, affording Emerald Cruises to show off what they do best – luxury cruising. This is alongside revealing gems they include on their Provence & Burgundy river cruises, including EmeraldACTIVE excursions. While you’re there catch up on the first episode of ‘Escape To’ to see what the presenters get up to on Emerald Cruises 8-day French & Italian Rivieras with Corsica yacht cruise.

Aboard an Emerald Cruises voyage life can be anywhere on the chill-to-thrill scale, with every passenger choosing what suits them best. EmeraldACTIVE is the luxury cruise company’s thoughtful program addition for guests who like to move at a speedier pace and see a destination from a different perspective. All at no extra cost once on board.
On Emerald’s 8-day Sensations of Lyon and Provence river cruise, guests can get active:

Of course, the best way to experience a destination in-depth is to witness its renowned landscapes, enjoy enriching cultural activities, and to sample its finest fare.
