About Cycad Cruise
Step aboard Cycad Cruise and indulge in the very first 6-star luxury experience in the untouched Bai Tu Long Bay!
Newly launched in October 2025, Cycad Cruise is a luxury boutique cruise offering premium comfort with unique experiences. This Indochine-inspired vessel includes just 24 cabins, providing an excellent balance of social connection and serene privacy. Each cabin offers panoramic bay views through floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and most include a private balcony with a seating area. All rooms are well equipped with air-conditioning, minibar, an ensuite bathroom with a relaxing tub or shower, fine bedding, and other modern touches. Multiple room types ensure catering to every travel style, from stylish junior or executive balcony for solo travelers or couples, to spacious family rooms for a party of 4.
Cycad promises an unforgettable dining experience with a sumptuous fusion buffet lunch and fine dining with lobster and abundant Vietnamese delicacies. The fully-stocked bar serves an array of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks, which is perfect for chilling in the pool or relaxing on sundeck with your loved ones.
Choose from 2-day/1-night or 3-day/2-night itineraries to uncover the pure nature and cultural charm of Bai Tu Long Bay! Cycad Cruise takes you to the hidden Thien Canh Son Cave formed millions of years ago, Vung Vieng Fishing village - one of the 4 largest villages in the bay, or hidden lagoons and towering rocky islands. Swimming, kayaking, taking a bamboo boat ride, fruit-carving class, or a mini traditional music show and more are waiting for you.
