Emeraude Cruise - Halong Bay
Let Emeraude Classic Cruises transport you back to the days of old 'Indochine' as you discover magnificent Halong Bay in style on board a luxurious replica steamer.
One of the great natural wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Halong Bay covers an area of 1,500 km over which are scattered thousands of limestone islands and grottoes rising from clear, emerald waters. The only way to really appreciate Halong Bay's natural beauty is on an overnight cruise.
In 1910 a paddle steamer called the Emeraude was offering unforgettable cruises on Halong Bay for visitors to what was then French Indochina. Today the Emeraude offers a regular cruise service on board a luxurious replica steamer with 38 cabins meticulously designed to evoke the nostalgic charm of colonial Indochina.
With polished wooden floors and brass fixtures and fittings the Emeraude's cabins offer timeless elegance while the restaurant offers delicious, freshly caught local seafood and the flavours of traditional Indochinese fare.
Complement this hotel with...
Take a breathtaking scenic sight of Vietnamese local inhabitants during the Bassac river cruise, passing en route the traffic of sand and rice barges, in scenery of fruit drying facilities and wooden ship building yards.
The mystical scenery of Halong Bay where thousands of limestone islands jut out of the sea, sculpted into bizarre shapes and surrounded by colourful floating villages is a truly wonderful destination. The perfect way to see this UNESCO World Heritage Site is to spend a night aboard a charming wooden junk or aboard the Emeraude, a replica of one of the grand steamers of the colonial era
