Scarlet Pearl Cruise
As one of the newest and best luxury cruises in Halong Bay, Scarlet Pearl is unique in its commitment to sustainable, environmentally-sound luxury travel. Scarlet Pearl Cruise's obligation is to create and deliver the most memorable moments that focus on the natural exploration and local cultural immerse on the way. The cruises will offer luxurious experiences to all tourists staying on an architecturally designed cruise ship, classified into 23 cabins of 4 themed suites with a story to tell. All suites are featured in smart control systems which ensure the greater energy efficiency of the cruise and help relieve the burden on the environment.
Amenities include the ultimate in luxurious relaxation and re-invigoration of Akoya Spa, the impressively amazing dining experience on Tahiti restaurant and the classy Bar Bistro. The ship also features a sundeck with Jacuzzi pool and private fitness center. Stepping onto our cruise, you will be lured by the beautiful blend of Vietnamese traditional architecture and sophisticated Norwegian theme of deep brown wood. Being a traditional-inspired and community-oriented cruise ship, the cruise offers a Pearl Museum right on-board where allows its customers to step into a quietly tasteful lounge area exhibiting the most fabulous and high-qualified pearls. In the museum, listen to the history of the local pearl farming, shop these stunning creations and join a hand in preserving and promoting this special and signature gift of the bay...
Scarlet Pearl Cruise operates solely within Lan Ha Bay, providing a more pristine and less crowded location compared to the neighbouring, more touristy part of Halong Bay. Lan Ha Bay also contains the incredible biodiversity of Cat Ba Island, including the Cat Ba Langur - one of the most critically endangered primates on earth. Scarlet Pearl is passionate about helping to educate visitors and locals on this issue, as well as donating part of its profit towards local efforts that help protect this highly threatened species. A modern ship with environmentally-friendly waste machinery and a commitment to using natural products and local furniture, shows that protecting and caring for the local habitat is essential to the Scarlet Pearl ethos. Choosing a cruise with Scarlet Pearl shows care and attention towards the protection of Halong Bay.
