Emeraude Classic Cruises arranges adventures for lovers of nature, sea and sunshine to immerse themselves in the amazing beauty of UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh.
There, on the decks of the Emeraude, you fall into a fairy tale world of over 3,000 mountainous islands and rocky islets which have been shaped by nature into unique wonders and landscapes.
The emerald water of the bay slapping against the 56 meter long ship and gentle winds coming from different directions drive you into a world of relaxation and excitement.
The Emeraude’s 101st anniversary is drawing near, and tickets are now available for special anniversary cruises planned for July 2 to 8. Tickets are US$101 for two people sharing a superior cabin to view the beauty of the bay whose name means “Descending Dragon.”
The journey through the bay takes in the world-famous karst formations at a leisurely pace, and lets guests enjoy their beauty from the comfort of the ship’s decks.
Wonderful caves and pristine beaches await you off the classical cabins and decks of the ship, which is a convincing reproduction of a 19th-century paddle wheel steamer with polished wooden floors and brass fixtures recalling colonial grandeur and old-fashioned luxury.
Last month, the Emeraude ran the third annual wine cruise, sweeping guests off their feet with wine, dancing and the beauty of the bay. “People are sometimes surprised to find things like tai chi classes, mojitos, and DJs playing salsa tunes on a ship that looks a century old, but it’s the combination of the modern and the classic that bring people back to the Emeraude again and again,” Emeraude general manager Kurt Walter commented after the wine cruise.
Emeraude Classic Cruises is not the only organizer of bay cruises as the Huong Hai Company now has packages on a wooden junk that takes in one of Vietnam’s World Heritage Sites.
The Huong Hai junk usually casts off at 12.45pm from Ha Long Pier and a lunch of seafood specialties comes after guests have cooled down with a welcoming drink
