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.

while sipping a refreshing cocktail and gazing at the

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

the soft and graceful movements of a t’ai chi class on
the deck complement the atmospheric silence of the bay. |
