EMPEROR CRUISES LEgend phu quoc (opening in 2024)

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.

testimonials
Mesmerizing sceneries in a magnificent cruiseship in Halong Bay! – Cruising with Emperor Cruise in Halong makes our vacation more special and memorable in this wonderful country! We have been to different international cruise-ship, but this one is quiet unique and authentic since the concept of this boat featured Vietnam’s history and culture with very detailed paintings in each corner aboard. Aside from its stunning boat, the team on this boat are excellent specially Chris who speaks fluent English amongst them all. Emperor boat also offered variety of activities inside and outside excursions but of course its you can choose between joining or stay on the main ship to relax. Food is perfect and quantity is too much! This ship is truly a 5* for us! Just add more English speaking staff for better communication aboard!

Excellence and Serenity – My husband and I enjoyed a 2 night cruise with Emperor Cruises in Halong Bay. The staff was absolutely delightful and attentive to your every need. The dining was plentiful and very good. On our excursions ashore, our guide was knowledgeable, helpful and prepared for everyhting-lunch, weather, and whatever was needed for safety and comfort. We loved the whole experience and would highly recommend it when visiting the area. A tip-the 2 night option offered the best opportunity to really enjoy the area.
All 10 cabins are en-suites with private balconies, panoramic ocean views and a personal butler service. The Emperor Cruises fleet is designed to be a sanctuary that ensures each and every moment counts for guests in Ha Long Bay – a must-see on the travel itinerary of all visitors to Vietnam.

Perfect from start to finish, go for Royal Suite – Beautiful ship with a wonderful staff. Only 8 rooms make the trip very special. We booked the royal suite, ‘King Room’. This very oversized room with outdoor space in front of the ship. The bed sleeps amazing, jacuzzi is a unique experience. Our butler Son was the best. Very knowledgeable and so friendly! He did everything to make it special. We celebrated our anniversary one night. The effort the team went through was brilliant. Bouquet of fresh roses, a big cake and beautiful speech from the manager, Quang. Ann, Abby and bartender Jack were great and attentive and so was our tourguide Wind. If you are celebrating an anniversary or want to propose, do it here. e also liked the itinerary of the 2 night, 3 day as that gives you an unique view of the bay on a smaller boat.
