The
History of Emeraude Cruise
In 1910 a
paddle steamer called the Emeraude was offering unforgettable
cruises in Halong Bay for visitors to what was then French
Indochina. The Emeraude was part of a flotilla owned by
the Roque family who had left Bordeaux in 1858 in search
of adventure and fortune. Over a period of more than 50
years they found both. After several ups and downs including
successful trading and timber businesses, near bankruptcy
and being taken hostage by pirates, the Roque brothers built
Emeraude, Perle, Saphir, Rubis and Onyx to ferry passengers
and freight along the waterways of Indochina and cruise
on magnificent Halong Bay.Today the Emeraude offers a regular
cruise service on board a luxurious replicasteamer with
39 cabins meticulously designed to evoke the nostalgic charm
of colonial Indochina.

at the rock formations reflected in the crystal clear
water of the bay. The Emeraude’s huge paddle wheel
opens to reveal a swimming deck offering passengers
the opportunity to swim in the calm waters of the
bay surrounded by the majestic scenery.At dawn, that
most magical time as the sun rises, the soft and graceful
movements of a t’ai chi class on the deck complement
the atmospheric silence of the bay. |
