Calypso Cruise features
- 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.
- 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. Travelers will have no worries about their diets as the cruise has special menus for each.

When packing for Cruise, the most important items to bring are comfortable clothing, swimwear, and sunscreen. If you travel during winter months (November to Feb), you may also need to pack a light jacket or sweater to keep warm during cooler evenings.
Typically, each cruise provides 1 – 2 bottles of water for free every day, and you will not be allowed to bring your own drinks. So, if you want to stay hydrated, bring some money (the drinks on board are a little pricy)
It is also recommended that you bring a camera or smartphone with enough of storage capacity for photos and videos in order to make the most of your trip. Prepare some waterproof protection for them, as you will be doing a lot of water-based activities.
