On the Emeraude, buoyed near one of the world's most beautiful bays, little things matter. Colonial style brass fans. Hardwood floors. Beadboard walls. Moreover, the most comfortable beds on the bay. In every cabin, the rich decor evokes another age, when quality mattered more than the bottom line. However, make no mistake: The Emeraude makes connections to the modern era, with air conditioning, electricity and other amenities typically seen in an upscale hotel room. No need to bring your own hairdryer. We have that. Umbrellas, slippers, bathrobes. We have all the contingencies planned out so you will be fully prepared to enjoy your cruise.
- Cabins: 12m2
- Suites: 25m2
Standard category: 34 Deluxe and Superior Luxury Cabins
Emeraude's twin and double rooms each feature innerspring mattresses to ensure a comfortable night's sleep. Each room is equipped with all the necessary amenities, from air conditioning to hot showers. Ultimately, the greatest attraction remains outside your cabin door. Each room opens directly onto the deck. Superior rooms are located on the lower deck with deluxe rooms on the upper deck.
Superior category: The Paul Roque Suite
Named after the original Emeraude's first owner, this is the vessel's suite. At nearly 16-square metres, it is the smallest of the three but with a trump card up its sleeve. The popularity of the Paul Roque Suite remains unrivalled due to having a private deck. The deck features both sun loungers and chairs for uninterrupted relax. Its place on the bow's upper deck adds to a feeling of calmness, truly tranquil travel. Inside, comfortable chairs, a rug and checked wall coverings add to the "golden age" feel.
Deluxe category: The Suite Emeraude
At 19.5m2, the luxurious Emeraude Suite is roomy enough for a queen-sized bed, as well as a large sofa and space for entertainment, which makes it a favourite among families. Its creamy and green colour scheme with wooden fixtures and flooring adds warmth and nostalgia. A sundeck spot on the starboard side and ample windows deliver wide views across the bay. Outside, an adjacent sitting area is a perfect place to enjoy a drink or relax and adore the passing scenery.
Premium category: The Captain's Suite
Also housed on the sundeck and benefiting from the same stunning views is the Captain's Suite. At nearly 17 square metres, the portside suite is spacious, comfortable, and lined with colonial-era bamboo matting. On the wall, antique maps will help you plot the vessel's path through the karsts and islands of Halong Bay.
