About Scarlet Pearl Cruise
Elegant and sophisticated, this well-furnished steel ship is truly a dedication to the ultimate luxury in the cruising industry. Sailing solely within Lan Ha Bay, Scarlet Pearl provides a less crowded location and incredibly untouched base compared to the neighboring, touristy world-class wonder of Halong Bay.
The sense of style, quality, and comfort is set impeccably on Scarlet Pearl. The luxurious vessel is well- known for its sophisticated, beautiful design and an impressive selection of premier facilities. The overall style is the ultimate luxury among numerous cruises in the North. From the exquisitely relaxed cabins to the neutral color palette of cream and dark wood brown tone, the impression is subtle elegance over glitz.
23 spacious accommodations, divided into 4 types of cabins, dominate two of five desks on Scarlet Pearl Cruise. Large and lavish, the cabins range from a generous entry-level of 28m2 to the spotlight of the cruise – the one and only Scarlet Pearl cabin with a total area of 150m2. All of them open onto private balconies to take full advantage of the vast vista of the ocean in front of your eyes.
As ultimate luxury is the key principle behind the Scarlet Pearl, once you enter the lobby, you will be overwhelmed by its endless list of first-class facilities. For relaxation and re-invigoration experiences on your journey, Akoya Spa is worth a stop by. Dining by the sea, treat yourself to fascinating delicacies at Tahiti restaurant, then let the classy Bar Bistro feast you on an extended menu of lavish cocktails, wines, and tonics. Lying on the sundeck to wait for sunrises and sunsets, relax with a Jacuzzi pool or keep your body in shape at a private fitness center, Scarlet Pearl has unlimited facilities to indulge travelers.
The highlight of Scarlet Pearl unquestionably is the unique Pearl Museum right on board. A tranquil sophisticated venue showcases the most fabulous and high-qualified pearls in the area. Get an insight into the tradition of local pearl farming and admire stunning creations that have become a unique and signature gift of the bay. The authentic experience over the bay combines with a unique, complemented service to promise a memorable journey on this catamaran sailboat.

My wife got a surprise cake for her birthday which really impressed us. We stayed only 1 night on board and nothing disappointed us. The only thing is that the weather was not nice on that day. Would love to come back in the future.

Very good
My family stayed 2 nights on Scarlet Pearl. The boat is modern. It would be best if we have other activities on the second day instead of swimming the whole day. Kayaking to Bright Cave was very soothing and calming. Food on the second day was nicer than the first.
