As the first specific cruise at Lan Ha Bay, Orchid Cruises are like charming orchid petals falling into the bay. Same as the bay that is described as an orchid, the popular flower in the area, falling and landing in Hai Phong City, to have its name (Lan Ha: landing orchid).
Located in Northern of Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay takes only 2 hours from Hanoi centre instead of 4 hours to touristic Halong Bay. Lan Ha Bay does not have many tourist boats ventures, meaning a more exclusive appeal. Compared to Halong Bay. With a rough density of 400 limestone islands, many of which are thick and still very primitive, or covered with trees and vegetation. It also has a lot of pristine and clean beaches, a floating unknown lagoon, caves and fishing villages.
With over 25,000 species, orchids are the largest family of blooming flowers. Not only renowned for their varied size, orchids are also impressive for their bright colours and unique shapes gathering in an elegant beauty that no other flower looks quite like them.
Orchid Cruises bring the charm of Lan Ha Bay and the grace of orchids into one elegant world. As soon as getting on board, you are welcomed by the enchanting scent of orchids everywhere. Then it comes the scent of elegance.
As Leonardo Da Vinci said “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”, Orchid Cruises aims to bring the ultimate elegance from the simplicity. It comes from simple chic design of the wooden furniture, fine black and white pictures to every delicate detail in the boat as well as spacious cabins. With 14 elite cabins, Orchid Cruises are among a few to offer 5-star cruises at the bay, offering large luxurious boats including a bar, a restaurant, a gym, a spa, and a sundeck. The spacious deck under the sail offers a great view especially in sunrise and sunset as well as a relaxing sunbath among the sea.
Like an orchid that has a long-lasting bloom, Orchid Cruises still preserves its elegant colour and sweet fragrance as if blooming on the first day, to attract travellers hoping for an amazing trip.

Facilities
A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis. Facilities provided may range from a modest-quality mattress in a small room to large suites with bigger, higher-quality beds, a dresser, a fridge and other kitchen facilities, upholstered chairs, a flatscreen television and en-suite bathrooms. Small, lower-priced hotels may offer only the most basic guest services and facilities.
Larger, higher-priced hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming pool, business centre (with computers, printers and other office equipment), childcare, conference and event facilities, tennis or basketball courts, gymnasium, restaurants, day spa and social function services. Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels and B&Bs) to allow guests to identify their room. Some boutique, high-end hotels have custom decorated rooms. Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours. In Japan, capsule hotels provide a tiny room suitable only for sleeping and shared bathroom facilities.
A bit of history
The precursor to the modern hotel was the inn of medieval Europe. For a period of about 200 years from the mid-17th century, coaching inns served as a place for lodging for coach travelers. Inns began to cater to richer clients in the mid-18th century. One of the first hotels in a modern sense was opened in Exeter in 1768. Hotels proliferated throughout Western Europe and North America in the early 19th century, and luxury hotels began to spring up in the later part of the 19th century.
