At 239 feet (73 meters) long, the ship accommodates 84 guests in 42 cabins with 40 crew, delivering a generous staff to guest ratio and spacious public areas. A standout feature is its ability to sail into the heart of Ho Chi Minh City and dock in the city center for easy access to markets and landmarks. The onboard experience centers on innovations such as a Sun & Pool Deck, a Lotus Lounge for quiet relaxation, and a Wellness Area for spa and fitness moments, complemented by an Asian inspired dining concept that brings regional flavors to the table. Social hubs include the Horizon Bar and Lounge offering locally flavored cocktails. The ship combines five decks of guest accommodations with thoughtfully designed public spaces and a relaxed pace at a cruising speed of about 11 knots, ideal for immersive Mekong adventures without rushing. Electrical outlets are US 110V two pin type, and adapters are not provided, so guests should prepare accordingly. In short, Emerald Harmony blends Mekong immersion with refined onboard comforts, delivering a memorable river journey through outstanding service, comfortable suites, and standout onboard activities.
