Emeraude Cruise - Halong Bay
Who should go?
Though not the most expensive ship on Halong's emerald waters the Emeraude is certainly one of the most stylish and comfortable. Its French background make it a very different ship than than the many junks that make Halong Bay their port.
When to go?
It is best to avoid Halong during the rainy season, from May to October. Getting rained on while on land is bad enough, but you don't want to be caught on the bay during this time.
Where is it?
There is only one way to truly experience the beauty of Halong Bay, to be traveling on its waters. Don't spend any time at the landbound hotels.
What's not to be missed?
For a little adventure, hire one of the kayaks to explore the caves during the low tide. (Be very careful to avoid the high tide). Wake up early in the morning for Tai Chi on the decks with the sunrise.
What's cooking?
The seafood here is to die for. Throughout your trip you will see dozens of little "baskets" from which women sell their seafood. The Emeraude's kitchen staff has already taken steps to ensure you are well fed.
