Amid countless ways to discover Ha Long Bay, some journeys do more than take you through natural wonders. They carry you back in time, to the stories that have shaped the soul of a heritage destination.
Emeraude Classic Cruises was born from that very inspiration. Inheriting the spirit of the 1906 Emeraude steamship, an icon of Ha Long Bay’s golden era, today’s vessel continues to write a new chapter where history, nature, and the art of leisure blend beautifully into every voyage.
1. Historic Cruise – Where a Century-Old Story Continues to Be Told
Every Emeraude voyage begins with a story.
In 1906, the Emeraude steamship was once a symbol of elegant cruises on Ha Long Bay, opening an era when discovering this natural wonder was considered a refined and graceful experience.
Today, Emeraude Classic Cruises does more than recreate the image of the legendary vessel. It preserves that spirit of exploration. Each voyage becomes a bridge between the past and the present, allowing guests not only to admire Ha Long Bay but also to feel the historical values hidden behind every wave.
2. Marine Heritage – Discovering Heritage in a More Meaningful Way

Ha Long Bay is not only renowned for its thousands of majestic limestone islets.
It is also a place where nature, culture, and history have coexisted for millions of years, creating a truly unique UNESCO World Heritage site.
On Emeraude Classic Cruises, each journey is designed to give guests time to experience this beauty slowly and deeply. Sunrise over the bay, golden sunsets over limestone cliffs, emerald waters, and peaceful floating villages all create a connection with nature far beyond an ordinary sightseeing trip.
It is not just a journey, but an opportunity to connect more deeply with the heritage of Ha Long.
3. Classic Reimagined – Timeless Beauty Recreated for Modern Experiences

Inspired by Indochine architecture and the elegance of early 20th-century ocean liners, Emeraude offers a space that feels both nostalgic and refined.
Every cabin, corridor, wooden deck, and interior detail is carefully crafted to recall the golden age of classic cruising.
Yet behind this classic beauty lies modern comfort, ensuring guests feel relaxed throughout the journey.
This balance between heritage and convenience creates the distinct identity of Emeraude Classic Cruises, where timeless beauty is reimagined for today’s travellers.
4. Safest Experience – Enjoy Every Moment on the Bay with Peace of Mind

A memorable journey always begins with peace of mind.
Emeraude Classic Cruises is operated according to strict safety standards, with an experienced team and professional service procedures to ensure every journey is smooth, complete, and well cared for.
When every detail is thoughtfully prepared, guests can fully relax and enjoy the finest moments of Ha Long Bay, from welcoming the morning sun on the deck and dining amid nature to gazing at the starry sky in the heart of the heritage bay.
More than a century after the first voyage of the legendary Emeraude vessel, the spirit of exploration continues to be preserved and shared.
Emeraude Classic Cruises does not simply take guests to Ha Long Bay. It opens an emotional journey where history is told through experience, heritage is felt through every sense, and each moment becomes part of a memorable story.
Because some journeys end when the ship reaches the shore. But others, like Emeraude, remain in our memories for a very long time.
