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.
