Overview
Emperor Cruise offers a completely new concept tour of Halong Bay, and has redefined the meaning of the word “lavish”. The cruise has been designed to be reminiscent of the high-flying 1930s, and particularly of the luxurious life of the Emperor Bao Dai. The glamorous cruise ship is adorned with gold leaf, plush velvet, delicate silks, and sparkling gemstones; calling this a ‘luxury’ cruise doesn’t even begin to cover it. This boutique cruise has just 8 private cabins, each one equipped with its own balcony and large windows offering sweeping views of the passing scenery. Guests may also avail of the private butler service offered on board. The dining experience is one the crew claims to be “fit for an emperor”, with daily offerings that cater to both local and international tastes. Each meal is prepared with the freshest local ingredients, with an emphasis placed on seafood. The work of famous Vietnamese artists hang on the walls, the wine chosen by skilled sommeliers, and the private butler is ready and waiting around the clock. The lavish life onboard the Emperor Cruise is much more than just a Halong tour, it is a lesson in history, a dive into aristocratic culture; it’s an experience of a lifetime. Emperor Cruises has two types of packages: Full Board and All-Inclusive. Both include all meals, but only All-Inclusive packages offer beverages and massage services included as well. For those who booked Full Board, beverages and spa are available for purchase onboard, or you can also upgrade your package at any time.Experiences

In such a case, we will apply the following policies:
Bad Weather Conditions: In case the cruise program is affected by bad weather, Heritage Cruises is entitled to cancel all or part of the cruise schedule. Surcharges will apply as follows:
- Cancellation before 11am on the departure date: Full refund.
- Lunch 2,000,000 VND per person will be charged if port authority cancels day or overnight cruise due to weather conditions, and the program is curtailed. The balance paid will be refunded.

2 | Cruise until 17:00pm on the second day | Charge 75% of 3-days/2- nights tour |
Note:
The Bay Management Board often gives notice to cancel the overnight sleep permit, possibly while you are on the tour. In such situations, we would like to ask for your understanding about it.
The rainy season from August to October in Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay often has very unusual weather conditions, so overnight cruises in the bay can be canceled unexpectedly, and often with very late notice.
In all cases, please contact our staff, we will always do our best to ensure your satisfaction.
