Calypso Cruise
- No.27 Tuan Chau Marina, Halong Bay, Vietnam
Built in 2018, Calypso Cruise is a good choice for travellers looking for a budget overnight journey through Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay.
Facilities
Calypso Cruise designs were inspired by traditional Halong Bay boats. The main colour of the cruise was white, mixed with warm brown colours in the interior to give travellers a cosy atmosphere. Despite a simple and cosy look, the 20 suite cabins on Calypso are equipped with modern facilities such as a flatscreen TV, AC, an en-suite bathroom, and a panoramic window or balcony view of the bay.
Another strong point is that the cruise offers a seasonal jacuzzi pool, which you might only find on a luxurious cruise. The spacious pool stays on the top sundeck, with a stunning 360-degree view as the cruise sails through Halong.
Dining
The restaurant of Calypso Cruise is on the 2nd floor, with a capacity of up to 48 people.
Not because of the budget that the food in Calypso is less fancy. The cruise focuses on mainly Vietnamese food, with various styles that are abundant and made from fresh ingredients. Travellers will have no worries about their diets as the cruise has special menus for each.
Travel routes and acitivites
Calypso Cruise offers a trip to Lan Ha Bay, the neighbourhood of Halong with a more calm and quiet atmosphere. Travellers will have the chance to go kayaking at Dark and Bright Cave, relaxing in Tra Bau, or swimming at Ba Trai Dao Beach.
More than that, with a 2-night itinerary, travellers will get further into the rural village of Viet Hai, biking through the calm and quiet of the lush green Cat Ba Island and learning about the cultural life of Halong.
Time on board will also never be boring. Travellers could attend various activities, such as Happy Hours, cooking demonstrations, or sunset parties.
