What Makes Paradise Delight Day Cruise Different
A dining cruise, not a cave tour
Instead of rushing between caves, Paradise Delight Day Cruise focuses on a long, relaxed meal with the karsts sliding past the windows — ideal if you have already seen the caves or travel with young children or older relatives.
Two restaurants, two styles
El Loto serves a buffet of around 100 Asian and Western dishes for up to 200 guests, while El Jazmín, under a glass dome, offers set menus for up to 100.
The descending-dragon show
Music, lights, lasers and dance retell the legend behind Halong Bay’s name, followed by a live band, violin and piano.
Who Paradise Delight Day Cruise Is Best For
Book it if you are
- A food lover who wants a long, scenic lunch or dinner
