Emperor Cruises Legend Nha Trang® – A Royal Legacy Amidst the Bay of Pearls
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Nha Trang Bay – one of the world’s most beautiful bays – Emperor Cruises Legend Nha Trang® is not just a luxury cruise, but a floating cultural masterpiece. Drawing inspiration from the regal lifestyle of Emperor Bảo Đại, the last monarch of Vietnam’s Nguyễn Dynasty, this boutique cruise recreates the timeless elegance, heritage, and spirit of royal Vietnam on the open sea.
As the newest member of Lux Cruises Group® – Vietnam’s first boutique cruise brand – Emperor Cruises Legend blends art, history, architecture, fine dining, and personalized experiences into a seamless voyage for sophisticated travelers seeking depth, beauty, and meaning.
A Cruise for 99 Guests – Two Signature Voyages
Designed to welcome up to 99 guests in supreme comfort, Emperor Legend offers two thoughtfully curated itineraries that capture the essence of Nha Trang’s natural and cultural beauty:
1. Daytime Discovery Voyage
Start the morning with a handcrafted coffee or herbal tea on deck, then sail through the emerald waters of Nha Trang Bay. The journey includes stops at traditional fishing villages, opportunities for snorkeling among coral reefs, kayaking, sunbathing, and enjoying a private beach experience at Marina Beach. A gourmet seafood lunch awaits at the Emperor Restaurant, where each dish is infused with local flavors and presented with regal flair.
2. Sunset & Evening Elegance Cruise
In the late afternoon, embark on a romantic voyage into the golden light of sunset. Sip handcrafted cocktails at Moon Bar – Vọng Nguyệt, listen to live music on the Moment Stage, and watch the sun dip below the horizon in a symphony of color. The evening culminates in a fine-dining experience under the stars – a celebration of Vietnamese culinary art in an atmosphere of serene luxury.
Three Levels – Three Expressions of the Imperial Spirit
The cruise ship is divided into three distinct decks, each representing a unique layer of royal lifestyle and aesthetic expression:
- Queen Deck – Graceful and feminine, inspired by the royal quarters of the Empress. Here you’ll find the Queen Restaurant and Plumeria Bar, designed to evoke the peaceful retreat where Empress Nam Phương once enjoyed quietude and elegance.
- Emperor Deck – The heart of the ship. Home to the Emperor Restaurant, Royal Dining Room, and the Sea of Love Gallery, this level showcases paintings from the LuxArts Collection, including rare works by famed Vietnamese painter Phạm Lực – often referred to as the “Picasso of Vietnam.”
- Sundeck – Open-air, artistic, and spiritual. This deck features the Moon Bar, Windcatcher Pavilion – Lầu Nghinh Phong, and the Tranquility Deck Riviera, a quiet space for reading, reflection, or meditation with a panoramic view of the bay.
Where Design Tells Stories
From the velvet seating of the Royal Dining Room to the handcrafted wooden details, every corner of Emperor Cruises Legend Nha Trang whispers stories of the past. One of the highlights is the Windcatcher Pavilion, a refined space inspired by the emperor’s beloved Nghinh Phong Palace – where Empress Nam Phương used to embrace the sea breeze and quiet solitude.
From this point, guests can gaze upon Cảnh Long Mountain, which cradles the Bảo Đại Villas, five tropical-themed mansions named after native flora: Cactus, Plumeria, Bougainvillea, Royal Flame Tree, and Almond. Their silhouettes emerge from the forest, reminding visitors of a royal legacy hidden amidst Nha Trang’s emerald coastline.
At the stern, the image of a dragon stretching to the East Sea – “Cảnh Long vươn biển Đông” – becomes a powerful symbol of Vietnam’s enduring spirit. From here, guests are invited to ascend the Sundeck, feel the ocean wind, and trace the silhouette of royal heritage rising from the sea.
For Those Who Savor the Finer Things
This cruise is not for the many. Emperor Cruises Legend Nha Trang is created for the discerning few – those who value authenticity, artistry, and the subtle elegance of a well-lived life. It is for travelers who seek more than a view: those who desire immersion, emotion, and cultural soul in every moment of their journey.
More than a luxury cruise, it is a living legacy, a celebration of Vietnam’s imperial past brought to life with contemporary finesse. With music in the air, heritage in the décor, and flavor in every dish, Emperor Cruises Legend Nha Trang invites guests to step into a world where time slows, beauty lingers, and stories endure.
Emperor Cruises Legend Nha Trang® – A timeless journey for those who live artfully, love deeply, and travel with soul.
