Emeraude cruise

(2 days 1 night - tour code EMRC02)

French owner, Eric Merlin, discovered by chance the existence of a magnificent group of four single-wheeled paddle steamers: the Emeraude, the Perle, the Saphir and the Rubis, operating in Ha Long & Vietnam from 1906 to 1945 from a black and white postcard he bought in France.
The Emeraude has been designed in the tradition of the grand steamers of the past and its high-class interior decoration will bring you back to the charm of the colonial era.
