The verdict
Which should you choose?
Celebrity Flora is an intimate Celebrity Cruises ship carrying 100 passengers, in service since 2019. Emerald is an intimate Tauck River Cruises ship carrying 98 passengers, in service since 2006. Emerald has no Bliss scores yet, so the verdict rests on the figures we do hold.
Choose Celebrity Flora if you want more space per passenger, more crew per passenger or a newer ship: it has 57.4 gross tons per passenger (vs 10.2), it has a crew member for every 1.3 passengers (vs 2.5) and its maiden voyage was in 2019 (vs 2006).
Emerald does not lead by a clear margin on any measure we track, so pick it for its itinerary or its dates.
