Emeraude Ha Long Bay Day Tour 2026 - An immersive cruise of Ha Long Bay with an experienced, courteous, and accommodating crew. Not only was the cruise amazing, the food was spectacular! Kudos to Minh and the fabulous crew of the Emaraude MIN.

Six hours well spent - Last Tuesday I went on a cruise in the „Eneraude Mine“ in the Ha Long Bay-area for six hours. The lunch has been served almost one and a half Hours After departure and meanwhile my Travel Group and I enjoyed the magnificent views and the Drinks, which have been served swiftly by our attentive host Ming. Then we visited an Island with an enormous Cave with three rooms, which was also impressive. Annoying was only that the cave was overcrowded and too many influencers blocked my way. Last but not least we visited cat Go Bay for a short cruise with 15 passengers on a rowing boat, which has been steered by a local lady only; thumbs up ! All in all it was a nice trip and six hours well spent.

A VIP experience on the Emeraude Premium - We had an excellent experience on the Emeraude Premium vessel with Minh as our hospitality leader. My wife and I had a VIP experience when we hired the boat. The food was excellent and we were taken through some beautuful scenery, sometimes with other boats nearby and other times by ourselves. We thought the captain did a good job and made us feel safe for a relaxing afternoon.

Emeraude Premium cruise was exceptional - Amazing trip. The boat was lovely and very intimate. Our guide Minh was so helpful and knowledgeable. Since it was only two of us he was able to cater the excursion for us. Because of his willingness, we were able to go visit the Thien Cung Cave first which made it feel like we were the only ones in the cave and didn’t have to be with hundreds of others to wait to get into the cave. The food on board was also excellent. Very taste!

Day Trip in Ha Long Bay on Emeraude Premium - We had the best time. The boat was very nice and food was great. We took a 4 hour private trip on the Emeraude Premium. Worth every penny, would highly recommend. We will be back!
