      TravelerWritten December 2025

      Are there any triple occupancy rooms on the ship? (We have 2 adults and a teen) for the November 24-30, 2026 date of the Danube Christmas market trip?

    • Emerald CruisesOperatorWritten December 2025

      Emerald cruises does not offer triple cabins. The only cruise company that does offer triple during the month of December of 2026 is A-Rosa. We found space for you that lines up with your dates of travel.
