7 MENU FOR Welcome to your HOME Spring Autumn 2017 PARADISE CRUISE LAUNCHES ITS LARGEST STEEL CRUISE IN HALONG BAY Paradise Group launches a new line of cruise ships this year, reaffirming its position as the largest luxury cruise operator in Halong Bay. The first of the new line of cruise ships, known as Paradise Elegance, has set sail in February with the second ship operating from June The Paradise Group fleet has started expanding this year with the introduction of a new line of cruise ships, known as Paradise Elegance. The two new Paradise Elegance cruise ships are joining a fleet of 5, which are divided between two lines: Paradise Peak & Paradise Luxury. Since its inception in 2007, Paradise Group has established itself as the first choice for luxury cruising in Vietnam s most visited natural attraction, UNESCO World Heritage Site Halong Bay. The singular Paradise Peak vessel has long been considered the pinnacle of Halong Bay cruising, while the multiple Paradise Luxury cruise ships have also proved its popularity. The Paradise Elegance positions itself between these two lines: a step up from the Paradise Luxury but not equal to the lavishness offered by the Paradise Peak. At 25 square meters, the cabins on the Paradise Elegance ships are some of the largest in Halong Bay. Every cabin has a balcony and divided into four categories: Deluxe Balcony (14 cabins), Executive Balcony (13 cabins), Captain s View Terrace Suites (2 cabins), and Elegance Suites (2 cabins). The Paradise Elegance cruise ships also boast a spa, dining room, sun deck and two bars, which are all spread over five decks. Offering a range of treatments, the Paradise Spa is found on the main deck away from the social areas. Le Marin Restaurant and Le Piano Bar, both of which offer live entertainment, are located on the salon deck. And on the sundeck, the L Odyssee Bar and sunbathing areas offer 360 views of the bay. As with everything at Paradise Group, attention to detail is paramount, says Ms. Carmen Marienberg, Chief Operations Officer of the Paradise Group. Central to each decision are the myriad wants and needs of our customers, which is why we have developed a reputation for not only meeting but exceeding the expectations of our guests. I can confidently say that this cruise ship offers a premium travel experience when exploring Vietnam s greatest natural wonder. Allowing visitors to explore Halong Bay more deeply is one of the objectives of the new cruise ships. Where other vessels stay anchored during excursions, the Paradise Elegance cruise ships will continue sailing around the bay and those visiting the attractions will go by tender boats. Guests that don t join the activities will be able to cruise through different parts of the bay instead. In the evenings, an a la carte dinner can be served either in the dining room or on a private balcony between 7-10pm. This marks another distinguishing factor of the new cruise ships compared with other operators that have fixed dining times and locations. Premium service and elegant design are two things I hold in very high regard, explains Mr. Nguyen Cao Son, Managing Director of the Paradise Group marks 10 years of operations for the company, and I feel so proud that these two values remain the defining characteristics of our company. This new line of cruise ships is the cherry on top of our anniversary cake. The Paradise Elegance cruise ships are the only new vessels to set sail in Halong Bay this year. Each new ship weighs 200 tones, is 61 meters in length and 13 meters in height. For more information and booking enquiries, see Page 07
