HALONG EMPEROR CRUISES
The lat Emperor Bao Dai had royal villas in Do Son, Vung Tau, Buon Me Thuot and Da Lat as well as palaces in Nha Trang and the Lak Lake region (Dak Lak). In particular, he enjoyed cruising leisurely, sea fishing off Nha Trang and freshwater fishing in Lak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Central Highlands.
As inspiration, we have named the six suites after the locations related to the opulent lifestyle of Emperor Bao Dai and his empire. And for each suite, including the King and Queen suites, features interesting stories from his life.
All 8 suites will be decorated in warm colors with leather headboards, plush sofas or chairs and drapes, new lighting features, window coverings, fancy carpeting, modern works of art, stylish bed cushions, and throw pillows inspired by original designs dating from the 1930s.
Emperor Cruises are all-suite cruises with cabins measuring from 28 to 70 square metres, large enough to be able to add an extra bed. All the suites are spacious with their own private balcony affording spectacular ocean views.
The bathrooms are uniquely designed and fit for royalty with a tub or a walk-in shower. The ocean can be viewed from any corner of the bathroom.
A spacious sitting area provides room to stretch out and watch television, read a book or simply enjoy the sunset or awake each morning to see new vistas.
All Types of Suites include:
