EMPEROR CRUISES LEgend phu quoc (opening in 2025)

Our Emperor Cruises brand is inspired by the luxurious lifestyle of the last great ruler, Emperor Bao Dai. The boat itself is a trip down memory lane to the 1930s: rich in the HISTORY, DESIGN, and HERITAGE of his life. Emperor Cruises’ purpose is to ensure that you experience every moment with us by being treated as kings and queens yourselves, indulging in experiences such as music, fine arts, architecture, culture, fine cuisine, history, and outdoor activities where everything is included.
Phu Quoc’s untouched beauty lies in pristine beaches and the unspoiled wilderness and nature. We plan to build a fleet of 10 cruise ships in Phu Quoc Archipelago. We offer two cruise options for the first phase of this project in Phu Quoc and overnight cruises for the second phase. We guarantee departure every day, regardless of the number of passengers. Emperor Cruises is based in Phu Quoc with its beautiful white-sand beaches and pristine offshore islands, ideal for exploration and leisure. We offer private party cruises and private charters for either leisure or business, upon request.

Why Emperor Cruises
WHY EMPEROR CRUISES PHU QUOC?
The first luxury cruise operator to offer a five-star experiential travel in Phu Quoc Archipelago, the Emperor Cruises fleet is designed to be a sanctuary of senses to ensure that every moment counts for you. The benefit of a luxury cruise with Emperor Cruises is that, apart from being small ships with personalized service and outstanding facilities, on an all-inclusive basis often there is no bill to pay at the end.
With Emperor Cruises Phu Quoc, luxury doesn’t mean there won’t be adventure! You’ll spend your time spotting wildlife, scuba diving, snorkeling, boating, kayaking, embracing Mother Nature, and passing the time with your fellow passengers and crew. You will be some of the privileged few who have discovered the huge difference that a small luxury ship with truly personalized service can make. Anything that is required, Emperor Cruises staff will make it happen.
Emperor Cruises Phu Quoc has been designed as a traditional ship but using high-quality materials with an exquisite gold-plated motif, fine silk, velvet, and other luxury items such as brass, crystal, and gemstones. Works of art commissioned from well-known Vietnamese artists will adorn the walls.
This masterpiece will be a place for the most sophisticated travelers like you to enjoy Vietnamese culture, history, and gourmet cuisine, and where royal glamour and heritage will combine to create the epitome of elegance. Each VIP customer will be treated like an emperor and experience the best of the best, in privacy, and with every detail attended to.
Everything is designed in accordance with the particular requirements and preferences of individual travelers in mind. The concierge and reception services will be available round the clock. During the day there is a choice of activities or just relaxation; in the evening there is time to socialize, indulge at the spa, or enjoy the ‘Movies Under the Stars’ shown on the sundeck. You can even go fishing for squid if the weather permits.
Emperor Cruises provides daily luxury return transfers by Mercedes Benz limousine service to and from Phu Quoc International airport or a pick-up and drop-off service from hotels and resorts in Phu Quoc. The cruise is available for FITs, GITs, and Charters. We recommend this special experience for seasoned leisure travelers, luxury adventurers, honeymooners, families, special interest travelers, nature lovers, active travelers, photographers, groups of friends, VIPs, and celebrities.
Responsible Cruising
Responsible Cruising
Responsible cruising is all about attitude and the Emperor Cruises staff are passionately committed to social responsibility — through education and by reducing their carbon footprint. Built using sustainable building materials, the structure of the cruise ship is designed to maximize natural light and air flow to reduce the need for air-conditioning.
Emperor Cruises operates sustainably, employs local people, and supports a project to protect marine life in Phu Quoc Archipelago. Emperor Cruises has its own private island and beach surrounded by greenery and jungle, and guests will enjoy the pristine beach at this stunning and very private location in An Thoi Archipelago.
Our aim is to create a better bay for people to live in and a better place for travelers to visit. We save fresh water. We use solar power to heat all the water throughout the boat and organic waste is transferred to be recycled into biogas. With our responsible policies we aim to keep the archipelago green and clean.
Emperor Cruises is positioning itself as a five-star cruising experience with butler service on a traditional Vietnamese ship where royal glamour, history, and heritage provide the right blend of service, luxury, unique travel experience, and quiet efficiency.
Emperor Cruises really is the epitome of luxury, but in an understated way. We are locally acclaimed for all-round excellence and unparalleled levels of service ensuring their outstanding reputation. We are an award-winning specialist cruise operator, a market leader in providing luxury travel services, and have been established in this extraordinary part of the world since early 1990, in world-famous Halong Bay.

With every meal on board, you are treated to a rich selection of complimentary local beers, spirits, and distinctive wines chosen by our acclaimed sommeliers. Barbecues and private dinners on the beach are available upon request.
Unique cruise itineraries with fun activities – We design cruise itineraries to show the best Phu Quoc Archipelago has to offer.

testimonials
Thoike NJune 27, 2025Verified Very nice experiences The views are nice and we really enjoyed the trip. I took photos and sent to my family ans friends. People will book the similar trip Patti OJune 26, 2025Verified Unforgettable experience in Ha Long Bay This experience was like no other. They truly love what they do and continually strive to improve. The dressing up for dinner in attire of the the era and the the outfits for the Vietnamese version of Tai Chi in the morning are the book ends to an exceptional itinerary that challenges you to ride bikes and kayak in the most picturesque environments as well as visit local villages to learn about the current culture. They also provide time for solitude and the sound proof rooms block out the noise and allow you to experience a ride from the times of the last emperor of Vietnam. Many pictures on board to browse plus a piano, guitar, board games, and books. The food is outstanding on the boat. However, it is the staff who go out of their way to make you feel like royalty that make this tour exceptional. You see mostly 5-6 people but there are about 10 behind the scenes that make the experience unforgettable. We want to point out the ones who most interacted with us and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. Thanks to Mabel, Dai, Duy, Will, and Chi for an unforgettable experience. Cath SJune 19, 2025Verified Ha Long with Emperor Cruises A really lovely relaxing stay on the Emperor!First time for us on a mini cruise. All the staff were incredibly welcoming friendly and attentive.From 6:15am Vovinam sessions to start your day, to breakfast, to excursions, cookery classes and squid fishing, their detail of knowledge incredible. With some happy hour drinkies on the top deck thrown in for good measure pre-dinner.The food was outstanding. A mix of authentic Vietnamese which we absolutely loved and more western style dishes. Everything super tasty. Excursions were good, very busy at times, and although we often prefer to do our own thing, we were happy to go with the flow. The team do try and take you to places in the less busy times.A special mention to Will, Mabel, Chef Nam, chi Tooi (vovinam master) who made our stay extra special.It was a smaller quieter boat in comparison to others docked, which was much more preferable. Companion11771945589April 16, 2025Verified Excellent staff and service Genuine Reviews:We had a fantastic time in the cruise. All staff went above and beyond their duties to ensure we had a great time. Starting from food to excursions, everything was great. Rooms are large and cozy with jacuzzi providing excellent views. Big thank you to emperor cruise staff for making our stay truly memorable. Christian BApril 16, 2025Verified Unforgettable Experience This was an incredible cruise. The staff were WONDERFUL - Chi, Will, Duy, Chef Nam the remainder of the staff provided a fun and enjoyable experience. The cruise itinerary was packed with fun excursions over the course of the two days. The views of Ha Long Bay were breathtaking as well. I normally don’t write reviews, but the Emperor cruise we took was worth the 5 stars. I look forward to bringing my children one day. Lincoln MApril 11, 2025Verified Amazing overnight Ha Long Bay cruise This cruise was phenomenal. It well and truly exceeded our expectations! The boat was clean and tidy, the rooms were outstanding, the food was amazing and the service matched. Would definitely recommend this to other travellers looking for a romantic getaway. Karen, Day, Dau and Chep Nam, thank you for your excellent service. This cruise was exceptional, and we had an amazing time. Glenn CApril 7, 2025Verified A great way to see the Bay Excellent staff and thoughtful service. A very pleasant experience all around. Thanks to Chef Nam, Chi, Karen and Dug for looking after us so well!! Amir HApril 1, 2025Verified Was a fantastic experience, absolutely perfect service and wonderful staff.Food was excellent, all on time. Was an amazing 2 nights, excellent food, amazing staff.Beautiful places to visit.The facilities, the rooms the decks , the whole boat was very clean and tidy.The scenery is magnificent.We loved it Eric MMarch 31, 2025Verified Treat yourself ! From on time and safe transport to being - well - pampered, while on board, this really was a fantastic trip. The staff made sure we had a good programme of activities without being rushed and the vessel itself felt like stepping back in time. My wife and I both remembered this must be a bit what it was like to be a guest on the RoyalYacht Britannia ! Excellent food and drinks choice. Weather cold but this more than made up for that. Thoroughly recommended if you want personal touch in a traditional vessel (and to avoid the mass market, buffet and shuttle water bus service with the bigger boats) Chris dFebruary 10, 2025Verified Memorable Ha Long Bay cruise during a special occasion We had a wonderful, memorable and relaxing 3 days/2 nights Ha Long Bay tour on the Emperor Cruise boat. We highly recommend this boat if you have a little bit of wiggle room in your budget as this boat only has 10 rooms and so you would feel less congested with the few guests on board. This boat is very luxurious and the service from the staff is very personal and superb. They would take excellent care of you and are very diligent about your special requests.We surprised my wife by requesting before hand during the booking process that it was going to be her birthday when we board and we wanted a small celebration with cake and the staff singing the happy birthday song to her after dinner.However they turned the evening into a wonderful memory and occasion as they set up our dinner on the upper deck with just me and my wife. The other guests were at the main dining area on the lower level and we were by ourselves on the upper level. They had a wonderful set up for us with our very own butler/server.After dinner the staff surprised my wife when the dining crew including the chef and the captain of the ship all went up to our table to sing and wish her a happy birthday and presented her with a bouquet of roses and a large cake. My wife cried tears of joy during that occasion. The crew made the event extra special. The cake was so good, we took the leftover cake back to our room and proceeded to consume it over the 3 days we were on this ship.We very highly recommend the Emperor cruise boat and its wonderful staff for helping us celebrate my wife's birthday and for the wonderful service that they provided throughout the journey.
