5.0Excellent!
Only a few cabins makes it feel very exclusive. Staff and service were excellent. Food is very good.. The bed was hard and the pillows small, but other than that, we had an excellent time.
The biggest advantage is its intimate scale. With only five suites, Orchid Premium offers a more private setting for travelers who want to spend time on Lan Ha Bay away from the atmosphere of a larger cruise.
The cruise is designed for a small number of guests, with five suites creating an exclusive onboard experience. This makes it particularly appealing to couples, families and small private groups.
Yes. Its limited number of suites, private accommodation and peaceful setting make it especially well suited to honeymooners and couples looking for a more secluded overnight experience.
The interiors combine luxury accommodation with Indochine inspired design.
2D1N experience combines cruising through Lan Ha Bay with activities such as kayaking, swimming, Tai Chi and cooking demonstrations, together with time to enjoy the facilities and scenery onboard.
Yes. The limited number of suites is its clearest point of difference. Classic and Trendy accommodate more guests and offer a broader range of cabin categories, while Premium is positioned around a smaller scale and a more exclusive atmosphere.
Premium is best suited to travelers who prioritise privacy and an intimate luxury experience, particularly couples, honeymooners, families celebrating a special occasion and small groups who prefer a quieter cruise environment.
