successful trading and timber businesses, nearly bankruptcy and being taken hostage by pirates, the Roque brothers built Emeraude, Perle, Sahir, Rubis and Onyx to ferry passengers and freight along the waterways of Indochina and cruise on magnificent Halong Bay. Today the Emeraude offers a regular cruise service on board a luxurious replica steamer with 39 cabins meticulously designed to evoke the nostalgic charm of colonial Indochina.
