2. Onboard Life – Where Details Define Luxury

Cabins & Suites

The Sundeck – A Wooden Stage for Sunset Moments

Perched on the top deck, the sundeck is one of the most loved spaces on Crown Legend Cruise — a peaceful open-air area where guests can admire the breathtaking panorama of Halong Bay.

Unlike many other cruises that use composite materials, Crown Legend’s sundeck is made entirely from premium wood (Rate Attribute #2 – Wooden Sundeck Floor). The wooden surface feels warm and natural underfoot, creating a sense of comfort and elegance.

During the day, guests can relax on sun loungers, enjoy a cool drink, or simply let the ocean breeze brush across their face while watching boats sail past the limestone cliffs.
As evening falls, the deck glows under the golden light of the setting sun — the perfect spot for a cocktail, family photos, or quiet moments together.
