Emeraude Cruise - Halong Bay Price guide: From around USD$250 DBL/TWN 2day/1night A classy modern reproduction of a paddle steamer that operated on Halong Bay during the early twentieth century - though it's looking a bit tired. The recreation of the original ship has been a labour of love for its Vietnam based French original owner, Eric Merlin, since he stumbled upon postcards of the original ship in a Paris market. Note: The information provided in this review was correct at time of publishing but may change. For final clarification please check with the relevant service Review While most Halong Bay cruises use various interpretations of the classic Chinese junk, The Emeraude is a very different experience, modelled on a French paddle steamer that plied the waters of the bay in the early twentieth century. The Emeraude was conceived by Vietnam based French entrepreneur, Eric Merlin. His passion for this project was sparked by a postcard discovered in a Paris market showing the original Emeraude cruising Halong Bay. Merlin’s curiosity was sparked and he set about finding out as much as he could about the early twentieth century steamer. His interest was so piqued, that finally he decided to recreate the Emeraude pulling together whatever information he could from a variety of France and Vietnam based sources. The Emeraude launched on Halong Bay in 2003 as the first luxury craft offering overnight stays. Merlin no longer owns Emeraude. It's now owned by a major local tour operator. The Emeraude offers 34 double and twin cabins and three distinct suites. After 15 years in service, The Emeraude is looking a tad tired - but in some ways it's a nice contrast to other craft on the bay. And it does have some real period character. The Emeraude’s itinerary is similar to that offered on other 2 day - 1night cruises. Check for the latest excursion details. Comprised of 4 luxury cruise ships under the management of Thien Minh Group since 2004, Emeraude Cruises boasts premium amenities and top-tier service, offering guests amazing Halong Bay discovery experiences. Emeraude Min continues to cruise to deeper areas of the bay where you have a chance to admire the iconic destination of Halong Bay such as Finger Island, Ga Choi Island, and Lu Huong Island, Ba Hang Village, or Stone Dog Island. 14.30 Visit Thien Cung Cave - one of the most beautiful and biggest caves in Halong Bay. 15.15 The cruise starts to return to the harbor. Guests can relax on the top deck and watch the bay view on the way back. |
