One of the great natural wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Halong Bay covers an area of 1,500 km over which are scattered thousands of limestone islands and grottoes rising from the clear, emerald waters of the Gulf of Bac Bo.

The majestic beauty of the bay and its islands is only fully appreciated while meandering among the islands, fjords and inlets.
After a night on board the Emeraude, passengers awaken to see daylight filtering through the early morning mist and the towering rock formations, leaving them with a dream-like memory of their visit to Halong Bay.

Currently, Halong Bay is nominated as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Votes can be entered at www.natural7wonders.com
