1. Overview of Genesis Regal Cruise – A Floating Indochine Resort

The Genesis Regal Cruise is more than a luxury vessel; it is a floating Indochine resort that combines cultural heritage with modern comfort. Sailing through Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, this 5-star cruise embodies elegance in every corner.

One of its unique features is the steel hull combined with natural wood and stone interiors. This design ensures durability and safety while delivering a warm, elegant atmosphere inside the cabins and public areas. Guests often describe the feeling as stepping into a boutique resort on the sea.

The inspiration for the interior comes from the lifestyle of French colonial officers in Indochina. With dark wooden details, high ceilings, and neoclassic touches, the décor offers both sophistication and cultural charm, creating a timeless ambiance rarely found on other Halong Bay cruises.

2. Accommodation – Luxury Cabins with Private Balconies

All cabins include: private balcony, panoramic window, two bathtubs (standing & reclining), minibar, HD TV, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and high-quality bathroom amenities.

3. Facilities & Onboard Experiences

Swimming Pool & Jacuzzi

Genesis Regal features a unique four-season triangular swimming pool with modern LED lighting. The pool allows guests to cool down in the summer or enjoy a warm soak during cooler months. With an adjoining Jacuzzi, it becomes an inviting space to relax after a day of exploration.

Bars & Dining

• Sail Bar located inside the restaurant for a cozy atmosphere.
