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.
