EMPEROR CRUISE

OVERVIEW
 

Halong Bay is one of the New Wonders of the World and tourists flock to sail its karst-dotted waters. However, a few miles away there’s another bay – just as beautiful but minus the crowds. The Emperor Cruise was inspired by the lavish lifestyle of Emperor Bao Dai, Vietnam’s last monarch. Built in the style of the 1930’s, each suite features interesting stories of his life. There are 8 en-suite cabins with a private balcony, ocean views, a butler service and a limousine.

Cruising artfully, Emperor Cruises aims to bring a truly all-inclusive cruising experience, enjoying every single moment on board, where you are treated like kings and queens with exquisite cuisine, 24-hour room service and an interesting itinerary featuring many fun activities.

Moreover, you can choose to dine whenever and wherever you wish. There are unlimited free massage and sauna services, food and beverages, and no bill to pay at the end. (on request with extra cost)

Highlight
 

• Travelers are delighted with a memorable luxury all-inclusive cruising experience with butler service, blending Vietnamese traditions with historic royal links to create the highest standards of hospitality and unequalled customer service. (on request)

• The cruise itself has only 8 spacious cabins that suit the travelers who prefer the privacy and peace.

• Live music, cinema, bars & art gallery are available onboard throughout the cruising period ensuring guests’ experience is fulfilled.

• Offering unique itinerary to the less touristy and enchanted sceneries through Bai Tu Long Bay & Halong Bay, starts from Hon Gai Harbor.

• Travelling on new high way by luxury van connecting Hanoi to Bai Tu Long Bay which makes your journey to this wondrous sight shorter and more comfortable (*you now can arrive in 2 hours & leave Hanoi later instead of 4 hours by the old way).
