About Orchid Trendy Cruise

Launched in 2021, Orchid Trendy Cruise is the stylish, modern 5-star member of the acclaimed Orchid Cruises fleet (the same award-winning operator behind Orchid Classic, Peony, and Azalea). With a fresh, contemporary design that blends Scandinavian minimalism with subtle Indochine touches, it appeals to younger travelers, couples, and families who want luxury without the overly traditional vibe. Carrying just 20–24 spacious cabins (all with private balconies), it delivers an intimate yet vibrant experience while cruising the quieter, more pristine Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba archipelago – consistently ranking in the Top 5 best 5-star cruises in the region on TripAdvisor and travel platforms.

Key Onboard Facilities & Amenities:

Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the vessel
Large sundeck with jacuzzi pool and comfortable loungers
Full spa & professional massage services
Trendy sky bar and elegant restaurant with panoramic windows
Cooking demonstration area and kayaks
Modern fitness corner (small gym equipment)

3 Things We Love Most About Orchid Trendy Cruise:

Contemporary & Instagram-worthy design – Bright, airy cabins (35–45 m²) featuring huge private balconies, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, rain showers (some with bathtubs), and a sleek, modern Scandinavian-Indochine aesthetic with light wood tones and minimalist luxury – perfect for younger travelers and great photos.
Peaceful Lan Ha Bay – Cat Ba itinerary – Escapes the crowded Halong Bay routes to explore the stunning, less-touristy Lan Ha Bay, hidden lagoons, Tra Bau anchorage, Ba Trai Dao beach area for kayaking/swimming, and Trung Trang Cave on Cat Ba Island – offering more privacy and natural beauty.
Excellent value 5-star experience – Highly praised English-speaking crew, fresh and creative cuisine (fusion menu with plenty of seafood), inclusive activities (cooking class, sunset Happy Hour buy-1-get-1, kayaking), and a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere that feels luxurious without being stuffy.

Perfect for millennials, couples, honeymooners, and small families who want a modern, stylish, and serene luxury cruise in one of the most beautiful (and less crowded) parts of the Halong Bay UNESCO World Heritage area.
