EMERAUDE
Named
for a cruising vessel that plied in Halong bay a century
ago, the Emeraude was
designed
with colonial style brass fans, hardwood floors and
beadboard walls. In every cabin, the rich decor evokes
another age, when craftsmanship mattered more than the
bottom line. The Emeraude also makes concessions to the
modern era, with air conditioning, electricity and other
amenities typical of an upscale hotel room.
The
hightlight of Emeraude are foods, reflecting the ambitions
and aspirations of the vessel, with Vietnamese ingredients,
enhanced by European culinary traditions. Quality, good
taste and elegance define every buffet in the classic wood-panelled
dining room. Lunch buffet includes chicken cordon bleu
alongside pork tenderloin and a range of salad and light
options. Fresh springroll offer a local flavour together
with freshly caught seafood. Dinner is a stylish affair with
rump steak and fresh Halong Bay steamed prawn. The selection
includes shellfish, salad, soup and rice dishes. For
dessert, choices vary from a range of cakes to old favorites
like bread and butter pudding. There is also an array of
tropical fruits.
Threeland recommends the Emeraude for the honeymoon couples
and romatic vacations. Check out the 2-day Halong cruise by
