HALONG Bay cruise operator Paradise Cruises is renovating its fleet to refresh its look and feel.
Renovation of its four Paradise Luxury boats commenced in May and is expected to finish in August.
Each of the 17 cabins will be installed with new wooden floors, ceilings, curtains, carpets and beds, while most of the new furnishings, including the Asian-inspired tables and chairs that adorn the dining rooms, are handmade.
“We’re calling the beds ‘dream beds’ because they have eight different layers (of cushion),” said Edgar C Cayanan, general manager of Paradise Cruises. “The goal was to make them feel more like home than your home, and I’m confident guests will find that we’ve achieved that.”
Each four-deck Paradise Luxury vessel is 41.5m long and features restorative amenities, including a spa, bar and public Jacuzzi.
In addition to the Luxury line, Paradise Cruises operates three other lines – Privilege, Peak and Explorer. While the Paradise Explorers are primarily day boats, the Paradise Privilege boats have three cabins each while the Paradise Peak is designed to hold up to 16 passengers.
The company intends to renovate the Privilege and Peak lines next year.
