Guests can now appreciate traveling through the bay in complete comfort on the newly-built boat and enjoying an adventure on the water. Promising less impact on the environment without any loss of enjoyment, there is now a host of new on and off-board excursions that are not available anywhere else.

The operator claims environmental sustainability will be the mark of luxury as we move into the future with discerning customers demanding that the businesses they patronize do everything possible to mitigate their impact upon our natural resources.

“Searching for a true hideaway where you will be at one with nature? Why not embark on a three-day cruise to discover untouched Bai Tu Long Bay, its natural beauty and local life. Visit caves, go kayaking and snorkeling, encounter local fishermen in a floating village and enjoy a memorable BBQ lunch on a wild, secluded beach. This is your opportunity to escape, do a little soul searching and return completely refreshed,” Kevin Nguyen, sales manager of Emperor Cruises

Now outfitted to take travelers on three-day, two-night cruises exploring even the most remote regions of Bai Tu Long Bay, on the three-day hideaway program, guests can cruise further, choose to cruise in their own itinerary, create their own adventure and explore wild beaches and islands in Bai Xep Geological Park.

“A decision to spend a second night on board our elite Emperor Cruises boat will be one that you remember for eternity as the boat becomes a home away from home. A more leisurely cruise will give guests time to encounter locals and floating villages in less visited areas where they will receive a warm welcome,” said Nguyen.

“Sail deeper into the bay and witness nature at its most spectacular, relax in secluded locations, take part in our water activities, have a lunch on a wild beach and marvel at the night sky, free from light pollution and packed full with stars. Completely a la carte, we can tailor-make whatever you desire with exclusive and personalized services along with your own speedboat and butler,” he added.

Along with completely remodeled cabins designed to envelop guests in pure elegance, Emperor Cruises features enhanced onboard facilities, including Gallery F, a reception area, spa, Royal restaurant, cocktail bars, library, sundeck and even a cinema under the stars.

Starting from $1,660 for two people on signature cabin, guests can also enjoy dining in the contemporary indoor restaurant or outdoor balcony while soaking up the scenery.

Journeying through the region's most pristine destinations, guests can relax in absolute comfort and peace, thanks to not only the comfortable en-suite cabins, but also knowing that Emperor Cruises Halong is dedicated to minimizing its impact on the environment through highly regulated waste storage, eco-friendly engines, and by supporting a range of community and socially responsible initiatives, including beach cleanups. The Emperor Hideaway is ideal for private parties or charters.

The Emperor Cruise was inspired by the lavish lifestyle of Emperor Bao Dai, Vietnam’s last monarch. Built in the style of the1930’s, each suite features interesting stories of his life. There are 8 en-suite cabins with a private balcony, ocean views, a butler service and a limousine for King and Queen Suite guests.

Cruising artfully, Emperor Cruises aims to bring a truly all-inclusive cruising experience, enjoying every single moment on board, where travelers are treated like kings and queens with exquisite cuisine, 24-hour room service and an interesting itinerary featuring many fun activities. Moreover, they can choose to dine whenever and wherever they wish. There are unlimited free massage and sauna services, food and beverages, and no bill to pay at the end.
