Lan Ha Bay

The Cruise

2 Days / 1 Night aboard the Scarlet Pearl Cruise.

The Scarlet Pearl is among the most luxurious cruises sailing Lan Ha Bay, a sleek, four-deck catamaran of just 23 balcony cabins, named for Ha Long's long heritage of pearl trading. Its route slips away from the busier stretches of Ha Long into the quieter, equally beautiful Lan Ha Bay, taking in the Dark & Bright Cave and the Frog Pond area. On board you'll find the Akoya Spa, a sundeck jacuzzi, a gym, a pearl museum and the Tahiti restaurant serving Vietnamese and European fine dining. Over two days you're treated to kayaking, a sunset party or cooking class, squid fishing and early-morning Tai Chi, refined, restful and never crowded.
