Very good review - emeraude cruise - Absolutely fantastic service and hospitality during our trip with Emeraude Cruises! We were especially well taken care of by Mr. Minh, our cruise guide — thank you to him and the entire team for making our cruise experience so memorable. The food and beverages were absolutely delicious, and we truly enjoyed every moment on board. We’re already looking forward to sailing with your team again in the future and will definitely recommend Emeraude Cruises to all our friends!

Excellent day tour on Emeraude Premium with Minh - We had a fantastic day on the boat touring Halong Bay. The room and bathroom were clean and nice and the food was excellent. Minh was a great host! It was so nice to have our private boat for the day and Minh helped us avoid the crowds. It was a memorable experience.

Halong Bay - Very good trip and friendly service. Especially Minh with his smile. Enjoyed and a pity that we could not stay overnight because of the typhoon.

Top - What an amazing experience! The staff was incredibly friendly – and especially Ruby, what a sweet and sociable lady! The lunch was fantastic: super tasty and always replenished. Visiting Ha Long Bay was breathtakingly beautiful, the caves impressive and the rowing trip made it complete. Really a great day!

Excellent day trip - We had a wonderful day trip on the Emeraude. Food was excellent, service was very good, and HaLong Bay was magnificent. Thumps up to Ruby’s team as they were very kind and lovely.

I want to bring my family next. - It was better than I expected from the pick-up to the end. I also learned a lot from Mr. Ruby's explanation, which was easy to understand. The rice is also more delicious than it looks and I am very satisfied.

A trip to last forever in my memory. - A must do trip! The crew of the Emeraude Premuim could not do enough for us. The ship is amazing and the room is gorgeous. Big credit to the chef … lots and lots of food and delicious. Every course was a taste delight. Thank you! Minh, our guide, was friendly and great company. An asset to the company. As for the tour… put this in your bucket list. Pictures do not do it justice.

Highlight of our trip! - Our group had a fantastic time on this overnight cruise!! The scenery is stunning, Minh and the rest of the staff were all very friendly and the food was deeeelicious. The hikes were a blast too, as well as the swimming. I would have spent the whole time in the water if I could. :) 10/10 would recommend this cruise!

Downstairs has one bedroom and AC, we tried cave and it is a must try. Food on board is very delicious and we really enjoyed it.
