Emperor Cruises to Launch Third Boutique Cruise in Cat Ba Archipelago

Hanoi, Vietnam, February 28, 2018 --(PR.com)-- A new artful cruise offers the chance to cruise the Gulf of Tonkin in Lan Ha Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay and Halong Bay, in one unique itinerary in the Gulf of Tonkin. The transfer by limousine through the 5B highway cuts the trip down to only 1.5 hours from Hanoi to Cat Ba Archipelago.

After successful operations in both Nha Trang and Bai Tu Long Bay, Emperor Cruises will launch its third boutique cruise in the Cat Ba Archipelago, Hai Phong, Vietnam in March 2019. This new launch will offer the chance to cruise the Gulf of Tonkin (Lan Ha Bay- Bai Tu Long Bay and Halong Bay) in a five-star all-inclusive cruise with butlers and a limousine, signature characteristic of the whole Emperor Cruises line.

The Cat Ba Archipelago is an exotic destination with pristine beaches, secluded lagoons, coves, tropical forests and lakes that allow holidaymakers to discover the best places for swimming, kayaking and biking and many hideaways to explore in the Gulf of Tonkin. Emperor Cruises offers an exclusive experience, letting passengers get immersed in Vietnamese culture. This 3-deck cruise ship is composed of 24 suites ranging from 38 to 70m2., featuring royal decoration with wooden floors, marble bathrooms and private balconies.

The passengers will get to try Vietnamese gourmet cuisine based on the finest local ingredients and that will be served at the Can Chanh Palace Royal Restaurant, while the Panorama Restaurant & Lounge Bar will offer tea, coffee, and other beverages on the sundeck. Guests can choose to do absolutely nothing, just relax on the outdoor top deck by its plunge pool and private cabanas.

What’s more is the decoration which is carefully selected by the fine art connoisseur Mr. Pham Ha, Emperor Cruises Co-founder and an art collector of the most prestigious Vietnamese works of art. Some of the original paintings in the cruise are from one of the most famous Vietnamese artists, Mr. Pham Luc who has been referred as the Picasso of Vietnam.

Guests can experience as they step into the cruise ship, the paintings and antique collection displayed on the walls of the lobby and hallways, handpicked by Mr. Pham Ha. This is the first artistic cruise operator in Vietnam to bring art auction on board. Emperor Cruises is a lifestyle, boutique and regal cruise with a story to narrate that lets the passengers cruise artfully on a boutique junk, fit for royalty.
