Cycad Cruise


1 / 9

INTRODUCTION

The first 6-star cruise ship in Bai Tu Long Bay, pioneering a journey to explore the pristine heritage site, a peaceful destination, secluded from the hustle and bustle of mass tourism. The itinerary is longer and more unique than those in Ha Long or Lan Ha Bay, offering memorable experiences that blend breathtaking natural landscapes with rich local culture. With a meticulously crafted design inspired by Indochina, Cycad Cruise promises guests truly memorable and cherished moments.

Cycad Cruise boasts an impressive design with warm, muted colors, high-end wooden interiors, and modern Indochinese lines. The cruise ship has 4 decks and 24 spacious suites, all with private balconies or terraces, creating a comfortable feeling like a miniature resort in the bay.

Cycad Cruise offers a variety of room types to suit different groups of guests. The Junior Balcony Suite provides comfort and sophistication. The Executive Balcony Suite boasts stunning panoramic views. The Family Suite is designed for small families seeking privacy. The Presidential Suite, a truly exceptional suite, features a separate living room, a spacious balcony, and VIP privileges such as private transportation, afternoon tea, massage, and welcome wine.

Onboard, guests can enjoy a full range of luxury amenities: elegant restaurants, a bar with a diverse menu, a relaxing swimming pool, a professional spa and massage service, and a modern gym. The spacious sundeck is the ideal spot to watch the sunrise or sunset, or enjoy cocktails. The cruise also offers fun activities such as afternoon tea, sunset canapés, and a photo opportunity in traditional Vietnamese attire.

Unlike the crowded tourist routes in the center of Ha Long Bay, Cycad Cruise offers itineraries in Bai Tu Long Bay, a pristine bay with few boats, ideal for those who prefer tranquility. The itinerary includes visiting Thien Canh Son Cave with its unique stalactite formations, kayaking to explore limestone islands, swimming in unspoiled waters, and experiencing the life of fishermen in Vung Vieng fishing village.

Cycad Cruise offers two itineraries: 2 days 1 night and 3 days 2 nights. Both are optimally designed to allow guests to relax while fully exploring the bay. Activities such as kayaking, hiking, swimming, watching the sunset, or relaxing at the spa are suitable for couples, families, and small groups of friends.

Cycad Cruise is the ideal choice for travelers seeking a luxurious yet private getaway. The peaceful, uncrowded journey, professional service, 6-star amenities, and resort-style design allow guests to fully enjoy the beauty of Bai Tu Long Bay and Ha Long Bay in the most refined and sophisticated way.
