Overview

As the name suggests, Paradise Elegance Cruise is all about classical style in setting that says: grandeur. One of the largest ships in Halong Bay, Paradise Elegance promises guests absolute luxury across every corner of its 5 decks.

Priding itself on its 5-star status, Paradise Elegance boasts 31 well-appointed cabins, each with its own private balconies. Always with a keen eye for design, Paradise Elegance showcases a tasteful fusion of traditional Vietnamese style and contemporary influences; chic upholstery and polished wooden finishes give the rooms a classical feel, while outside, the common areas maintain a spacious, lofty atmosphere.

The 5-star rating goes far beyond the ship itself; the dining facilities onboard promise to satisfy even the most insatiable gourmet appetites. Serving up an inspired menu for both traditional Vietnamese and Western tastes, the in-house chefs passionately create a daily buffet breakfast and lunch, an afternoon tea, and a lavish four course a la carte dinner- served exclusively in the Le Marin restaurant.

On the top deck, guests can make the most of the outdoor ambiance by enjoying a drink served up by the expert barmen, while being serenaded by a live band at the Le Piano bar. Throughout the duration of the entire Halong Bay experience, guests on Paradise Elegance can expect faultless service, unwavering luxury, and of course- scenery that will take your breath away.

FAQs

Can I request a vegetarian meal on the cruise?

Of course, provided we have the ingredients you require. Let us know in advance and we will do our best.

Can we check in onto the cruise after 1 p.m.?

Our check-in time is at 11.30 a.m. We can arrange an extra boat to transfer you to the cruise if you are late, but you will need to cover the extra cost for the private transfer.

Do I need to pay any extra fees when I visit caves with you?

No, you don’t. All cave entrance fees are included in the cruise price, so you don’t need to remember to take your change when you join us for one of our off-board excursions

Does the staff speak English or should I learn Vietnamese?

All our staff members speak English, so you’ll have no problem communicating with us during your time on board our cruise. However, we will appreciate any Vietnamese that you can use in conversations with us!

Is this cruise suitable for couples and families?

By all means yes! It’s a perfect choice for a relaxing trip if you’re planning to come here as a couple or family.

What should I bring with me on board?

Definitely start with your passport! Please also remember to bring some sunblock, sunglasses and a hat, a swimming suit and some insect repellent. If you’re travelling in winter, then don’t forget to pack some warm clothes (you’ll find them very useful when you join our Tai Chi class at sunrise).

Cool route!

This cruise itinerary was really cool. I especially loved going to a pearl farm and learning about how they make pearls. We also went to several different Islands and islets that had funny names in Vietnamese. We only know this because the staff were really knowledgeable about the area. They also have good English and helped us talk to local people in the floating villages. I recommend this cruise.

Nothing short of spectacular!

Paradise Elegance – that is exactly what it is. My husband and I were absolutely blown away by the quality of service. We took full advantage of the spa facilitities which were nothing short of spectacular. It wasn’t the cheapest holiday we’ve ever been on but it was worth every single penny.
