Emerald Harmony
Emerald Waterways’ new Star-Ship, Harmony, launched in August 2019 and sails between Siem Reap, Cambodia, and Ho Chi Minh City. Each itinerary offers a truly authentic experience — complete with local guides, makers, and performers. Be sure to pick up a silk scarf and candies before you head home. On board, there's a gorgeous swimming pool and some very interesting eating experiences (cockroaches, anyone?). But the best part? There are only 42 cabins with a staff of 40. That’s basically one crew member per cabin. Here’s our review of the brand-new vessel.
What We Love
Balcony-Equipped Staterooms_:_ Nearly every room onboard features a drop-down balcony window, seamlessly incorporating your room and the outdoors. However, four staterooms on the Riviera deck have portholes.
A Fabulous Pool: The infinity pool on the back of the ship is always warm and inviting. Every itinerary features a pool party complete with DJ, color-changing lights, and video on a projector screen.
Best Known For
Navigating Narrow Passages: This ship is built specifically to navigate the canal on the Mekong River, which connects Cambodia with Ho Chi Minh City. It's one of only three leisure vessels that can take that path.
Intimate Small Ship Experiences: If you prefer not to cruise with thousands of other passengers, you'll appreciate Emerald Harmony. Thanks to its small size, it's always possible to find a quiet space on board to relax, enjoy, and take in the beautiful surroundings.
Cultural Immersion: Excursions are designed to allow passengers to experience, mingle, and connect with local artisans, musicians, and designers alike. Enjoy freshly made coconut candy, try on a woven silk scarf, or listen to a live musical performance.
