Emerald Harmony features authentic Asian design fused with the modern amenities of a boutique hotel. The 84-passenger vessel will provide 13-, 17- and 21-day cruise and tour packages.
Spacious accommodations
The spacious cabins include 32 273-square-foot Panorama Balcony Suites with drop-down windows, four 398-square-foot Grand Balcony Suites and two 450-square-foot Owner’s Suites with wrap-around terraces and private hot tubs.
Other features are the Asian-themed Horizon Bar & Lounge, a pool and a 2:1 passenger to crew ratio. Reflections Restaurant will serve a locally inspired menu. Featuring dark wooden tones and muted colors, Lotus Lounge, situated at the front of the Vista Deck, is a quiet spot to relax and watch the horizon unfold.
The 13-day 'Majestic Mekong' cruise-tour sails between Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap with time to explore Angkor Wat. The 17-day 'Treasures & Temples of Vietnam & Cambodia' program adds stops at Hanoi and Halong Bay in the north, and the 21-day 'Grand Tour of Vietnam & Cambodia' itinerary includes Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hue and Siem Reap.
All itineraries include a visit to the busy metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam War reminders are never far away—whether the Cu Chi Tunnels, a network of underground passageways constructed by the Communist guerillas, or the War Remnants Museum. In the Mekong Delta, highlights include a visit to a family-owned silk factory and My An Hung village.
A visit to Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh contrasts the elaborate Royal Palace complex with the tragic reminders of the Khmer Rouge regime at the Killing Fields. A stop at a monastery offers a traditional Buddhist blessing. And in Siem Reap, travelers visit the ruins of the world’s largest temple, Angkor Wat.
