Nha Trang Emperor Cruises Tour

Nha Trang, a coastal city in Khanh Hoa Province, Central Vietnam, is located on the trans-Vietnam highway, 1,278 km from Hanoi and 448 km from Ho Chi Minh City. It serves as a gateway to Dalat, a former French retreat in the Central Highlands, just 2 hours by car. Nha Trang is accessible from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City by air (via Cam Ranh Airport, 30 km away) or by train from Danang or Ho Chi Minh City. The city enjoys year-round sunshine with an average temperature of 23°C, thanks to mild northern winds. The area experiences lower rainfall compared to other regions in Vietnam and is rarely threatened by storms, as it is shielded by the Truong Son Mountains and Ca Pass.

Khanh Hoa Province is home to three renowned bays:

  • Nha Trang Bay: A premier beach resort featuring a long sandy beach, bars, restaurants, and dive shops along Tran Phu Boulevard. Offshore islands in the bay are perfect for snorkeling and diving.
  • Van Phong Bay: Known for its long white-sand beaches, lagoons, and deep seaport for industrial use.
  • Cam Ranh Bay: A restricted naval base.

Nha Trang has long been a favorite holiday destination for both Vietnamese and international travelers, offering a 7 km stretch of white-sand beach with calm, clear waters ideal for swimming and day trips to nearby islands. Now, visitors have the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable overnight cruise in the bay aboard a luxurious Emperor Cruises ship.

Hon Mieu – Hon Mun

  • Hon Mieu (Mieu Island): Known as an outdoor aquarium, it is actually a fish-breeding farm where over 40 species of fish, crustaceans, and other marine creatures are raised. Surrounding the tanks are kitsch concrete sculptures of giant shrimps and fang-bearing sharks. Hon Mieu is included in most island-hopping boat tours, and DIY travelers can take regular ferries from Cau Da dock to reach the island.
  • Hòn Mun (Mun Island): "Mun" means ebony in Vietnamese and is one of the most beautiful islands in Nha Trang. Hon Mun is not only famous for its white sand and blue sea but also for being a "natural aquarium" of Southeast Asia. The island is known for its rich marine life, and tourists can explore the area using glass-bottom boats or enjoy diving services.

Hon Tam – Hon Tre

  • Hon Tam: Famous for its wild tropical forest, long beach, and clear water. Surrounding the rocky ranges, thousands of fish and colorful corals make this a peaceful and exciting destination. Hon Tam Resort is an ideal spot for recreation and health improvement. The island also offers various water sports like jet skiing, boating, windsurfing, parachute pulling, and adventure diving. Tourists can also enjoy campfire nights on this fascinating island.
  • Hon Tre: Known for its crystal white beaches and surrounding mountain valleys, Hon Tre is home to the Vinpearl Resort & Spa, a luxurious resort with 500 rooms and three large swimming pools. It was one of the chosen locations for the APEC 2006 summit. In addition to the resort, there are other attractions such as a 150-hectare golf course, a five-star bungalow complex stretching over 40 hectares along the beach, 200 villas in the Dam Gia area, and a food court with diverse restaurants and bars.
