About Orchid Premium Cruise
Orchid Premium is a new iron-hull ship of Orchid company, which is much fit for a leisure trip of friends, families, or companies visiting Halong and Lan Ha Bay. With its modern design, international quality service, and the advantage of fresh exploits, Orchid Premium gives even the hard travelers a new and exciting experience.
The vessel consists of only 5 luxury cabins, each is equipped with state-of-art amenities and high-end furnishing. Despite the low number, all the cabins are spacious, 45 - 96m2 in area. And thanks to the enormous space, a large balcony, and huge beds appear comfortably in each cabin.
There are 2 Terrace Suite, 2 Premium Terrace Suite, and 1 Orchid Premium Exclusive Suite Cabin. Among them, the Family Premium Terrace Suite is the largest and most advanced, it can sleep up to 4 adults and 2 children.
Orchid Premium design is inspired by Indochine style, it combines the old-time elegance with real-time modernity. Each unit impresses the eyes with exotic wood and marble decoration, while the giant glass windows and greenish curtains blush the rooms. The captivated windows vistas are simply the best. But the interior images of blooming flowers, white soft pillows, and comfortable beds also add some sleekness to the design. All combine to bring out the vibe of a loft apartment in modern cities. One can say Orchid Premium is the classiest ship in Halong Bay.
The cruise takes on a popular route to fully discover the beauty of Vietnam bays. Visitors will also have the chance to experience a variety of exciting activities such as night squid fishing, kayaking to explore islets and caves, comfortable swimming under the emerald water, or relaxing in a beautiful sunrise on the deck. Do not miss the unwind moments sunbathing on the sundeck or floating over the large jacuzzi. Moreover, a stylish restaurant serving Asia - Europe fusion cuisine, a modern spa, and a gym center will surely make the guests satisfied. The restaurant with utmost luxury services even has a distinct area for organizing events, MICE, and music performances.

Asked by Elisa | Oct. 27, 2022 11:01
Good afternoon, I would like to book a cabin for me and my two children aged 20 and 22 for the first days of August 2023. I have two questions, is it possible to rent only one cabin and another question, what does the following sentence mean? • On the second day you will travel on day boat and do not have access to mother boat and your cabin until later in the afternoon. It means that during day 2 you can not access the boat at all. Is it compulsory to leave?
Answered by Cindy Nguyen | Oct. 27, 2022 11:03
Dear Ms. Elisa, Thank you for your email and I hope this email finds you well. For Orchid Premium Cruise, they can set up an extra bed for your room so you can stay in 1 Cabin together. There is no problem at all. If you would like to join the activities, you will move to the day boat which has capability to go further into the Bay to discover and explore more. If you do not want to join the activities, you can stay on a boat. That is all based on your will. If you need any further assistance, please let us know. Best regards, Cindy Nguyen.

Kind and friendly staff, especially Bennie and Dong. Food was brilliant, both in quality and presentation. We cannot expect more. Drinks were good too. Our room was pretty and elegantly designed and bright thanks to wide windows. The balcony was superb and a must on the Halong Bay trip. We had an unforgettable trip. Thanks a lot.

We stayed in the King Terrace Suite. The view from the room was gorgeous. The bay was engaging. The staff went above and beyond. The guide was outstanding with excellent English and knowledge about the area. We are both vegetarian and they served delicious vegan meals. A shout out to Orchid Premium Cruise’s team.
