Azerai La Residence, Hue has launched an elegant 55-foot (17-meter) cruise boat, offering guests one of the most stylish and exclusive ways to experience the Perfume River.
With its classic hardwood trim and bright red accents, as well as spacious private lounge areas in the front and back, the new boat provides a stark contrast in both style and substance to the crowded and noisy dragon boats so commonly seen in Hue.
The new vessel at Azerai La Residence, Hue, locally built and christened “Nam Xuan,” accommodates up to 12 passengers, and embarks on three different types of excursions: an afternoon tea cruise, a sunset cocktail cruise and a dinner cruise. The covered middle section of the boat serves as a dining room by night and sightseeing deck by day.
“If you compiled a bucket list of things to do in Hue, experiencing the Perfume River would certainly be in the top three. But unlike other river excursions in the city, ours offers a truly intimate and sophisticated way to see the city’s rich historical sites, beautiful mountain scenery and vibrant river life,” said General Manager Minh Phan Trong.
