What Makes Orchid Trendy Cruise Different
Orchid Trendy Cruise combines the look of a traditional red-sail junk with modern balcony cabins, an outdoor jacuzzi and a spa with a sauna, at a lower price than most newer luxury ships.
A balcony and a bathtub in every cabin
All 20 cabins have a private balcony with a sitting area, a bathtub and a shower. The two Exclusive Suites on deck 2 are 45 m², with wide windows over the bay.
Outdoor jacuzzi, sauna and sundeck
The outdoor jacuzzi looks over the karsts, the sundeck has sun loungers for sunrise and sunset, and Orchid Spa offers massages and a sauna at extra cost.
A quieter Lan Ha Bay route
The route avoids the busiest parts of Halong Bay: kayaking at Ao Ech (Frog Lagoon), a night at Tra Bau and a morning visit to Trung Trang Cave in Cat Ba National Park.

Local Expert Notes from Our Hanoi Team
These tips come from more than a decade of arranging Halong Bay trips for international travellers; details are checked against Orchid Cruises’ published information and 2026 contract rates.
- Premium Deluxe cabins on deck 2 cost a little more than Deluxe cabins on deck 1 but have better views
- Book the 3-day trip if you want Viet Hai Village; the 2-day trip does not include it
- Bring trainers for the steps in Trung Trang Cave
- The jacuzzi is outdoors, so it is most pleasant from April to October
