Lyra Grandeur Halong Cruise

Vietnam’s cruise tourism industry is witnessing a strong revolution as conventional resort standards gradually give way to the “Ultra-Luxury” segment – where luxury is defined by uniqueness and an absolutely personalized experience. In that context, the appearance of the Lyra Grandeur cruise ship in August 2025 has truly established a new standard, becoming the most brilliant symbol in Vietstar Cruises’ ecosystem. Considered a “diamond” crystallized from architectural quintessence and strategic vision, Lyra Grandeur is not simply a new superyacht but a vibrant artistic entity in the heart of a heritage bay.

Lyra Grandeur does not operate alone but is proud to be an important piece in the Lyra Cruise Collection – a collection of sea resort wonders painstakingly created by Vietstar Cruises. This connection lies not only in the name but also in the uniformity of the ultra-luxury value system, where each journey is an affirmation of class and high-class lifestyle. The birth of this ship is associated with the process of perfect inheritance from its “older brother”. Capella Cruise, the cruise ship that has laid the first foundations for Indochine-style resort standards on the bay since 2020. Capella has succeeded in conquering the most demanding travelers with its sophistication and nostalgic beauty, creating a brilliant legacy for Lyra Grandeur to continue and develop. However, Lyra Grandeur is not simply a copy or repetition, but a brilliant sublimation of that legacy in a “Grandeur” format – more majestic and noble. With an impressive length of up to 80m, the ship opens up spacious and majestic spaces, allowing the integration of a series of pioneering amenities that have never appeared before. This is a huge step forward in elevating the experience, where old values ​​are retold in the language of luxury and the most modern technology.

The “Heritage Retold” philosophy on the Lyra Grandeur cruise ship is not just a simple decorative style, but a subtle dialogue between traditional values ​​and contemporary aesthetics. Positioned as a “floating oasis” in the heart of wonders, the yacht’s design is inspired by classic Indochina beauty but is refreshed with modern architectural lines, creating an emotional artistic space and cultural depth. Lyra Grandeur’s appeal lies in its sophisticated craftsmanship, where every interior detail is a tribute to the mastery of Vietnamese artisans. The combination of warm natural wood with the gloss of lacquer, the rusticity of bamboo and rattan, the luxury of mother-of-pearl inlay and the eternal beauty of handmade ceramics has created an overall look that is both luxurious and intimate. These indigenous materials not only honor heritage but also bring a sense of relaxation and peace to travelers throughout the journey. The breakthrough highlight in the yacht’s architecture is the optimization of open space through large Panorama glass systems. This design cleverly blurs the line between the luxurious interior inside and the natural wonder of Lan Ha Bay outside, allowing the beauty of the limestone islands and emerald green water to flow into every corner of the room. From any position on the yacht, visitors can take in the full view of the majestic natural picture, turning every moment of relaxation into a journey deeply connected to world heritage.

The resort system on the Lyra Grandeur cruise ship is standardized with 33 cabins – corresponding to 33 private masterpieces of art, where each space is personalized to bring absolute tranquility to the owner. Going beyond the concept of a conventional bedroom, each suite here is a miniature “oasis”, where travelers can listen to the breath of the bay and enjoy tailor-made luxury for themselves. The sophistication in interior layout and space optimization have helped Lyra Grandeur set a new standard for comfort and privacy in the ultra-luxury cruise segment. The most splendid highlight in this system is The Owner Suite, occupying the proudest position at the bow of the ship. With 360-degree views embracing the wonder, this suite opens up an endless space, where the boundary between the ocean and people seems to be completely blurred. The privilege of dedicated personal butler service ensures that all guests’ needs are understood and met immediately, turning every moment of rest into a journey of royalty and class. Dedicated to families looking for cohesion but still emphasizing exclusivity, the Duplex Family Suite room class has a unique double-floor design. This is one of the rare and groundbreaking room architectures on the bay, bringing a spacious and airy feeling like a resort villa on the ground. The smart division of living space between two floors not only creates comfort for members but also brings a new perspective, where the family can preserve precious moments together amid majestic natural scenery. No less impressive, the Oasis and Sky Suite room categories score points with outstanding comfort and sophistication in every small detail. Each room is designed with a separate balcony and a luxury bathtub with a direct view of the blue bay. Immersing yourself in the warm water, sipping a bit of passionate flavor and watching the magnificent limestone islands floating through the Panorama glass window is the most wonderful “healing” experience that Lyra Grandeur offers to its distinguished guests.

Lyra Grandeur is not only a means of transportation but also a true resort “oasis” in the middle of the sea, where each utility is designed as a statement of an upscale lifestyle. The Wellness and entertainment experience here is upgraded to an art of enjoyment, helping travelers find absolute balance between the vast space of the bay. Different from usual standards, the amenities here are all “unique”, tailored to touch the deepest emotions of each guest. The most impressive highlight in the Oasis deck area is the infinity pool system and Jacuzzi with unlimited views. Lyra Grandeur’s groundbreaking difference lies in the application of pioneering green Heat Pump technology. This system not only helps save energy but also ensures warm water is maintained throughout the four seasons, turning swimming in the heritage bay into an ideal relaxing experience even on winter days in the North. This is a great plus point to help visitors enjoy their vacation to the fullest without being limited by the weather. For those souls looking for excitement and youth, the Water Slide from the deck straight down to the bay is an iconic experience. The feeling of freely sliding from an impressive height and then immersing yourself in the emerald green water of Lan Ha Bay brings rare moments of excitement and pleasure. This facility not only attracts young tourists or families but also creates a dynamic resort style, dispelling all stereotypes about the tedium of long beach trips. The health care journey at Lyra Grandeur is also intensively invested in with a Nordic Sauna with a typical Nordic style. Amidst the quiet space of the sea and sky, detoxifying in a warm wooden sauna helps the body deeply relax and stimulates blood circulation effectively. In particular, Sea Memory Spa offers a different dimension of mental therapy with treatments using sounds from rotating bells combined with traditional massage techniques. The pure vibrations from the rotating bell will lead travelers into a state of meditation, helping to regenerate energy and find absolute peace of mind.

The culinary experience at Lyra Grandeur is like a journey of taste, where Harmony of the Sea restaurant acts as the epicenter of multi-ethnic cultural interference. With an impressive capacity and space designed like a real art gallery, the restaurant is not only a place to enjoy delicious food but also a place for travelers to take in the magnificent view of the bay through spacious Panorama glass windows. Delicate arrangements from lighting to mother-of-pearl and lacquer interior details turn each meal into a feast for all the senses, where soothing music and top-notch flavors blend to tell stories of heritage. Understanding the diversity in the global culinary culture of the ultra-luxury customer segment, Lyra Grandeur established an impressive specialized menu system to please all customers. In addition to the classy A la carte menu with dishes “tailored” to individual preferences, the cruise proudly introduces Halal menus specifically for Muslim guests and a rich Vegetarian menu for macrobiotic cuisine lovers. From the pan-fried sea bass with passion fruit sauce on the Halal menu to the elegant snow mushroom soup on the vegetarian menu, all are prepared from the freshest ingredients, ensuring strict compliance with international standards while still retaining the delicate flavor of Fusion culinary art. One of the most romantic and awaited moments on the journey is the afternoon tea party (Sunset Party) – the perfect rendezvous point when sunset begins to fall on Lan Ha Bay. Amidst the vast space of the sea and sky gradually turning magical purple and yellow, visitors will enjoy cups of fragrant tea, rich coffee along with fresh fruits and carefully prepared delicate pastries. This is not only a time to relax but also a moment for travelers to quiet their souls, immerse themselves in the symphony of nature and fully feel true luxury before entering a luxurious dinner under the stars.

Lyra Grandeur’s journey takes travelers deep into the core of Lan Ha Bay – where the wild and majestic beauty is still preserved almost intact. To meet diverse vacation needs, the cruise offers two flexible itinerary options: 2 days 1 night and 3 days 2 nights. If the short trip is the perfect choice for a luxurious and streamlined weekend, the 3-day trip opens up the opportunity for visitors to truly “live slowly”, weaving through the most mysterious corners of the heritage bay and the pearl island of Cat Ba. Each itinerary is structured between regal relaxation time on deck and engaging on-the-ground exploration activities. One of the most impressive highlights of the trip is the kayaking experience in the Ao Ech area. This is where the sea surface is as flat as a mirror, surrounded by limestone mountains of various shapes rising out of the turquoise water. Manually controlling the kayak to glide across the water, through mysterious cave domes or touching a thousand-year-old cliff brings an indescribable feeling of freedom. In an absolutely quiet space, visitors will be fully immersed in nature, feeling the vitality of the Lan Ha Bay ecosystem in the most authentic and intimate way. Away from the water, the journey of discovery takes tourists to Cat Ba Island to visit Viet Hai Ancient Village – a green “oasis” located separately among primeval forests. The experience of cycling on tree-lined trails, passing through rice fields and the breath of the vast forest will open up a new and exciting level of discovery. Here, travelers not only can breathe the pristine atmosphere but also have the opportunity to deeply connect with the rustic life of the local people, feeling the slow and peaceful pace of life that is the precious heritage of this land. When the sunset gives way to the magical night on the bay, life on Lyra Grandeur continues with unique cultural experiences. Guests can participate in a traditional cooking class right on the deck, where talented chefs will teach how to prepare exquisite Vietnamese dishes. When night comes, night squid fishing will bring exciting moments of relaxation, allowing visitors to test their patience and experience a part of the daily life of local fishermen. Those simple but emotional moments are the perfect piece of the puzzle, creating an unforgettable vacation in the world’s natural heritage region.

Lyra Grandeur’s development strategy does not stop at superficial luxury but is also imbued with the philosophy of environmental responsibility through the “Journey of Kindness”. For a cruise ship operating in the world’s natural heritage area, preserving the pristine beauty of Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay is a top priority. Through this commitment, the cruise ship takes practical actions such as minimizing single-use plastic waste, applying environmentally friendly materials in operations and encouraging tourists to participate in the mission of preserving the green of the sea and islands, ensuring that every step a traveler takes leaves a positive impact on the local ecosystem. Along with the conservation mindset is a strong investment in sustainable technology, typically the advanced Heat Pump system. This is a core “green” solution that helps optimize energy efficiency for the entire hot water system on the yacht, from the bathtub in each suite to the infinity pool and outdoor Jacuzzi. By taking advantage of heat from the environment to convert into energy, this technology significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional heating methods, proving that luxury comfort can completely accompany a commitment to sustainable environmental protection.
