Paradise Grand, the "rookie" in Paradise Vietnam's fleet of luxury supercruises, has acquired and improved the exceptional qualities of "predecessor" Paradise Elegance, and as a result, it has emerged as a new representation of cruising in Lan Ha Bay.
The cruise is also regarded as the most opulent getaway for the wealthy since it has a Michelin-starred chef's floating restaurant and the only five-star speedboat in the bay, the Paradise Express, which ferries tourists from Tuan Chau to Cat Ba.

From the beautifully designed rooms to the delectable food, every aspect of the cruise was nothing short of five-star quality. The crew was exceptional throughout the trip, and the guides were extremely knowledgeable and accommodating.
My only regret was not booking the two-night cruise as we thoroughly enjoyed the company of the crew and the overall ambience of the boat. The food served on the cruise was absolutely delicious, and the drink options were plentiful, ensuring that we never went thirsty.
I cannot praise our time on the cruise enough. We were all left completely enamored by the experience, and the credit goes entirely to the outstanding crew and staff who went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. I had the pleasure of making a new friend, a yoga instructor from the Philippines, who worked on the cruise. The special waitress whose name started with S was exceptionally funny and added to our overall enjoyment.
I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience. Despite the bad weather, we had an absolute blast thanks to the exceptional service, stunning accommodations, and incredible food and drink options. Less
