Cycad Cruise
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.
