Emperor Cruises Legend Nha Trang® – The Imperial Legend Returns To The Sea
Where Vietnamese heritage, royal elegance, and elevated journeys converge in one of the world’s most beautiful bays
NHA TRANG, June 1, 2025 – As Nha Trang Bay—the crown jewel of Vietnam’s coastline—enters its most festive season, a new icon makes its majestic debut on the waters: Emperor Cruises Legend Nha Trang®. Operated by Lux Cruises Group®, Vietnam’s premier heritage cruise company, this five-star boutique vessel is a modern tribute to the grandeur of Emperor Bảo Đại, Vietnam’s last monarch, and a seamless blend of art, legacy, and elevated lifestyle.
As the second vessel in Lux Cruises’ Nha Trang fleet—following the graceful Emperor Sails Origin®, a traditional sailboat catering to 50 guests—Emperor Cruises Legend offers a lavish, floating palace experience for up to 99 guests, increasing total capacity in the bay to 300 guests per day. More than a cruise, the Legend is a destination in itself, a place where time slows, beauty deepens, and every journey becomes a cultural performance on water.
Inspired by a Royal Legacy
Drawing inspiration from Emperor Bảo Đại’s seaside retreat at Cầu Đá Villa and his timeless lifestyle on Cảnh Long Hill overlooking the East Sea, Emperor Cruises Legend reimagines royal leisure in the 21st century. Its interiors are a feast for the senses: hand-carved wooden details, silk and velvet furnishings, bronze and semi-precious accents, all carefully curated to evoke Vietnam’s golden era of elegance.
The ship is adorned with original artworks from Phạm Lực, the celebrated war artist hailed as the “Picasso of Vietnam.” His exclusive “Sea of Love” painting collection brings depth and soul to the cruise’s artistic ambiance, complemented by live music, curated performances, and a five-course seafood dinner fit for nobility.
Two Signature Voyages – Two Realms of Exploration
By Day: Hidden Islands & Coastal Traditions
Guests explore Bích Đầm Island, home to an ancient fishing village untouched by time. The voyage continues with snorkeling at the coral-rich Hòn Mun Marine Reserve and culminates in a visit to the 100-year-old Trường Lý Lighthouse, offering sweeping views of Nha Trang Bay from its historic vantage point. Nature, heritage, and five-star service converge to create a perfect day at sea.
By Night: Sunset Soirée Beneath the Stars
As the sun melts into the sea, Emperor Cruises Legend glides across a glittering Nha Trang skyline. Guests sip cocktails and champagne as they pass the luminous Vinpearl Marina and the iconic overwater cable car, often dubbed the “Eiffel Tower of the East Sea.” Under the stars, guests enjoy an exquisite seafood dinner, live musical performances, and an ambiance that redefines romance and refinement.
Elevated Personalization & Signature Service
For those seeking a more active or private adventure, the cruise features Emperor Express, a high-speed tender boat for 25 guests, available for bespoke water activities like kayaking, diving, or secluded island visits. Every itinerary is highly customizable, whether for couples, families, or VIP guests looking for a more personal touch.
With state-of-the-art amenities, the vessel also serves as a luxury venue for MICE, private celebrations, weddings, gala dinners, and brand launches. A professional stage, high-end lighting and sound systems, LED screens, and flexible indoor-outdoor seating make it an exceptional setting for events at sea.
Starting at just USD 100 per guest, Emperor Cruises Legend offers all-inclusive value—hotel transfers, gourmet meals, marine excursions, live entertainment, curated art, and royal-level service—all in one unforgettable journey. Each guest is welcomed and served like royalty aboard this imperial sanctuary on the sea.
Nha Trang – A New Capital of Luxury Cruising in Asia
In 2024, Khánh Hòa Province welcomed over 9.2 million visitors, including 2.5 million international arrivals, with the luxury travel segment growing more than 30%. The arrival of superyacht Atlas at Ana Marina Nha Trang—Vietnam’s first international yacht marina (code VNANA)—marked a milestone, positioning Khánh Hòa as “Vietnam’s capital of luxury yachting.”
Projections for 2025 forecast over 10 million visitors, with luxury tourism, MICE, and yachting experiences expected to grow by over 35%. Nha Trang, listed by Booking.com as one of the top destinations for Vietnamese travelers this summer, and ranked by Agoda as a leading “slow travel” destination in Asia, is rapidly emerging as a beacon of sustainable luxury in Southeast Asia.
Emperor Cruises Legend Nha Trang® is not just a cruise—it is a living museum, a floating stage, and a royal experience, crafted for those who seek heritage, beauty, and indulgence beyond the ordinary.
