Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The cruise was comfortable and relaxed the activities were enjoyable and relaxed we were upgraded to the Captains suite which was a surprise. Although cooler than normal it was very enjoyable European and Canadian passengers made for an interesting experience. Halong Bay is being spoilt through over visitation so see it before it gets ruined
Not my first time on Emeraude, but the quality drop recently. Not sure what has changed. The food quality especially has been very basic compare to before
Very nice design of boat, spacious and modern but looking traditional at the same time. Food on board is very good and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The staff was absolutely charming and attentive. The Emeraude is older with some of the quirks one would expect and hopefully enjoy, but an absolute delight. The scenery is spectacular and this was the perfect way to enjoy it. We would definitely book again.
It was a great overnight stay and activities were good. However, may I recommend a better map for your office as it is very hard to find even for our local driver.

Too pricy for the offer
Worst bed ever! It doesn't matter if they offer a pillow menu when the mattress is awful !! Staff was nice but no one notices te next step and the written itinerary didn't match the real one , maybe we passe by places worth of taking photo but no one warned the passengers . The menu is limited and the beverage prices ridiculous compared to the rest of the country including 5 star hotels ... The boat is nice but they even charge 18 dollars for a 60 minutes in a kayak belonging to the boat , of course no one rented one. I saw other boats nearby and some even had jacuzzis and I could bet the price difference shouldn't be much so if you are planning a trip to ha long bay choose well for this boat only relies on its "French"reputation

Cruise Ha Long Bay. French owned cruise ship.
French owned cruise ship up to 60 passengers. Ship is about 16 years old (as of April 2014) and has had cabins recently refurbished but cabin showers old style marine/yacht and should be modernised to at least mobile home standards.
Cabin layout tight and bed arrangements need to be reviewed as cluttered and tight.
Overall good time plenty of open and undercover areas. One night 2 day programme is short and 2 night programme needs revamping as you repeat 1 night voyage or need to transfer to another ship.
Staff pleasant and friendly especially if you are polite to them and attempt to speak Vietnamese.
Only real draw back is all drinks are very costly. Other cruises are said to be generally not as good.

Halong Bay Experience
Well we had reservations for Emeraude, confirmed through hotels.com and received confirmation 4 days prior to departure. Upon arriving at the Hanoi office for Emeraude, they had no record of the confirmation. They were also completely booked and given we only had that 1 night in our schedule, they were able to book us on the Pelican cruise instead. We were required to pay for the additional transport fee there. The Pelican was ok, however it was not the deluxe room paid for on the Emeraude. 9 out of 10 times, we have had successful bookings, however this was the first time it did not go smoothly.
Bad :
The staff on the crisue is not friendly .
Disappointed to pay for so much money & got a average service only.
The second day at 9:30 am already returned to the harbour & not around 11:00 am as other cruises.
Good :
The food is O.K. for the buffet .
Quite a lot of relaxing sundeck chairs / sofa .
Glad we chose this cruise over others, as it included various stops and activities during the 22 hours we were on board (kayaking, visit to a cave, squid fishing) Very well organized. Made for a spectacular Christmas day!
Very nice and clean. I had a great time.
It’s too bad that if you do the 2nights/3days, some activities are the same every day.
Only 500ml of bottle water per day given, which is not enough per day. Otherwise have to pay for the drinks.
Ça a été une super expérience.Le deuxième jours nous a marqué car nous étions que deux personnes sur un bateau avec 5 hommes d'équipage pour nous servir.Nous avons fait le tour de la baie à petite allure dans le calme et à l'écoute de la nature.Vers midi nous nous sommes arrêtés dans une petite baie et on nous a servi un repas digne d'un super restaurant.Merci encore au guide ensuite retour sur l'Emeraude Cruise où le soir la responsable du staff nous invite à manger dans le carré du capitaine avec le plat servi à table qui m'a rappelé mon premier métier dans la marine marchande.Et le dernier jour de retour au port le capitaine m'a laissé un instant la barre que du bonheur.Vraiment merci encore à tout le staff de l'Emeraude Cruise.
