The company's ninth Star-Ship, the Emerald Luna, was christened in a ceremony in Amsterdam in July.

McGovern said it was a great honor to be named the godmother of the river ship. It's with pleasure that I welcome Emerald Luna to the fleet and wish her well.

European river cruises will be sailed by Emerald Luna. There are balconies in most cabins and an indoor swimming pool that has a retractable roof. It can be turned into a cinema.
