1. Reasons Why Customers Always Choose Emperor Cruise
The Emperor Cruise is built as a traditional ship using the highest quality materials, and decorated with delicate gilded motifs, fine silks, velvets, and other luxurious decorations such as brass, pearls, and gemstones. Artwork by famous Vietnamese artists adorns the walls, and everything is designed to suit each traveler's specific requirements and preferences. Private butler service and reception will be available around the clock.
What sets Emperor Cruises apart from many 5-star cruises in Ha Long is that, in addition to being a small boat with personal service and outstanding facilities, customers will not have to pay extra for a full premium tour package (all-inclusive). Experience the first all-inclusive luxury cruises with butler and limo service in Ha Long Bay, a must-see on the list of all travelers to Vietnam.
Emperor Cruises is the newest 5-star cruise ship in Ha Long Bay, along with a system of luxurious bedroom cabins, and impressive services. However, what makes Emperor Cruise unique in the cruise ship market is its "unique" amenities just like the ship's name.
