The 1930s aesthetic of the Do Son and Lak Lake suites is born of the style of Emperor Bao Dai, Vietnam’s final ruling monarch. The Indochina and Western decoration create a truly unique atmosphere in these 43m2 rooms, where royal opulence can be experienced for yourself. The marble bathroom tinted with gold is assuredly befitting of royalty, along with a private balcony area looking out into the grandeur of the bay.

Vietnam’s final king, Emperor Bai Dao, lived in the most pronounced opulence, something that the Emperor Cruises promotes perfectly. Our 5-star luxury Bai Tu Long Bay cruise is drenched in elegant features, from the furnishings through the décor and ending with the beautiful hull of the ship itself.
Private balconies and modern facilities in each of our individually designed rooms give a vast amount of character to the Emperor Cruise, with floor-to-ceiling-length windows, excellent bedding and beautiful bathrooms.
