Overview
Violet cruise is one of the luxury cruises in Halong Bay which is the youngest one of the “Three Sisters” of the Heritage Line (including the Violet, the Jasmine, and the Ginger). Named after the exquisite purple-flowered Violet Chirita growing on the rocky slopes of Halong Bay, the Violet cruise is delicate and little, just like its name.
Designed in the traditional Asian style with wooden floors, compact yet luxurious cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony, the small boutique cruise brings customers an intimate feeling in the massive scale of the bay. On board the Violet, guests will find themselves in warm and intimate surroundings but with all of the amenities that can only be expected in a larger ship, including a lovely spa, a sophisticated restaurant with a lounge, and a spacious sundeck.
A cruise with the Violet will not just a holiday but a total retreat. From the very first moment of the day, there will be no noise to wake up but only the early sun rays gently shine on you through the windows and curtains. The smell of Vietnamese coffee will bring you excitement. Stepping out of your cabin, along the way to the restaurant, you are greeted by the sweet smiles of our staff who are no longer strangers but your friends. Your cruise will be filled with happy moments and interesting activities. All will become a lifetime memory. Book your trip with Halong Bay Cruise Deals now to secure your package!
