What Makes La SEN of the Bay Cruises Different
La SEN of the Bay is a large ship with very few cabins. At 77 metres long it is a large ship, yet it carries only 25 suites, so public spaces such as the 270 m² restaurant and the 150 m² lounge never feel crowded. “Sen” is the Vietnamese word for the lotus flower, and lotus motifs run through the interiors.
An infinity pool, spa and gym
The infinity-edge swimming pool sits on the first deck in front of La SEN Lounge. La SEN Spa offers massages, hot-stone therapy, herbal foot baths and wet and dry saunas; there is also a gym, a karaoke room and a mini-golf course on the top deck.
A bathtub with a view in every suite
Every suite has a private balcony and a bathtub facing the bay. Ocean View Suites (35 m²) are on the first deck and Premier Suites on the second deck; Family Suites (38 m²) sleep three and Connecting Suites (70 m²) sleep four. The two Ocean View Executive Suites (55 m²) have a round king bed, a private terrace and an outdoor Sky Jacuzzi.
Wine & Cigar Lounge and Sky Bar
The Wine & Cigar Lounge serves premium wines and cigars and can be turned into a private cinema or meeting room. On the third deck, the indoor restaurant opens onto the 250 m² Sky Restaurant & Bar with teak floors and 360-degree views.
