Calista Cruise

Officially launched in April 2025, super yacht Calista Cruise is proudly positioned as the largest and most modern “Eco-Luxury” symbol on the Ha Long Bay tourism map. Invested and operated by Minh Loan Tourism Services and Development Trading Company Limited, Calista Cruise is not simply a resort vehicle but also an architectural masterpiece, bringing a new standard of luxury associated with the responsibility to protect the ecosystem of the world’s natural heritage. The name Calista comes from the ancient Greek word “Kalliste”, meaning “most beautiful” or “excellent beauty”. This name also reminds of the mythological goddess Callisto – a symbol of elegance, perfection and noble charisma. The choice of this name represents the brand’s desire to create a resort space whose beauty rivals the magnificence of the limestone islands and the emerald green water of the bay, turning each journey into a pinnacle aesthetic experience for visitors. Calista Cruise’s strategic vision is built on the sustainable intersection of exquisite hospitality and responsibility to preserve nature. Under the enthusiastic management of Minh Loan Travel, the super yacht not only focuses on high-class personalized services but also pioneers in applying the most advanced green technology. This is where luxury resort values ​​are placed in absolute harmony with the environment, ensuring that the beauty of the heritage bay will always be cherished and preserved for future generations.

With impressive dimensions including a length of 91.26m, a width of 15.1m, a beam height of 4m and a draft of 2.25m, Calista Cruise owns a large superstructure space, accommodating up to 250 visitors and 114 overnight passengers in a system of 38 luxury cabins. The entire architecture is scientifically distributed over 5 guest floors (Guest Decks), flexibly connected by a modern elevator system, helping to optimize the travel experience and ensure absolute convenience for passengers throughout the journey. To maintain international service standards, the cruise operates with a team of 60 professional personnel, creating an ideal service ratio to meet all customer requests in a sophisticated and timely manner. In particular, Calista Cruise pioneered the application of a groundbreaking Hybrid propulsion system in maritime operations. This technology not only eliminates vibrations and noise, bringing absolute silence to the resort space, but also significantly reduces exhaust emissions, affirming its leading position in the green and sustainable tourism development strategy in the heritage bay area.

The resort system on Calista Cruise is delicately planned with 38 luxurious cabins, scientifically distributed from the 1st to 4th floors to ensure spacious views and absolute privacy. Calista Ocean room class with an area of ​​30m2 is located on the 1st and 3rd floors, with a streamlined but artistic design style, integrated with a private balcony for guests to fully enjoy the fresh sea breeze. Located on the first floor, the 32m2 Calista Bay room class creates a distinct highlight with a panoramic sea view bathtub, allowing guests to relax while admiring the majestic beauty of the heritage bay right in a private space.

For travelers looking for something different, the Calista Horizon room class on the 4th floor is an unmissable choice with an area of ​​up to 65m2. The special feature of this room type is the separate Jacuzzi integrated right inside the room, creating a classy and completely isolated relaxation space in the middle of the ocean.

The utility ecosystem on Calista Cruise is designed as a true “floating resort”, providing entertainment and relaxation experiences far beyond the standards of a conventional cruise ship. The highlight on the first floor is Oceanus Pool, a four-season infinity pool with an area of ​​up to 225m2, recognized as the largest swimming pool on the bay today.

Calista Cruise’s itinerary is delicately designed to take visitors deep into the core area of ​​the World Natural Heritage with two unique route options. The “Emerald Odyssey” route lasts 2 days and 1 night, focusing on the most typical wonders of Ha Long Bay. Visitors will have the opportunity to admire the splendid beauty of Sung Sot Cave – the largest stalactite cave in the bay, conquer the mountain peak at Titop Island to capture panoramic views, and experience exciting kayaking at the Luon Cave area, which has a blue lagoon surrounded by steep cliffs. For those who are passionate about exploring silence and wilderness, the “Explore Hidden Wonder” itinerary for 3 days and 2 nights will be the perfect choice. This route takes tourists further into Lan Ha Bay and lesser-known areas. The highlight of the journey is a visit to Vung Vieng Fishing Village, one of the oldest floating fishing villages in the bay, where unique traditional cultural features are preserved. Besides, the journey also extends to Viet Hai ancient village and Thien Canh Son cave, bringing a deep connection between natural beauty and historical stories of coastal residents. Not only stopping at tours, Calista Cruise also offers a colorful ecosystem of boarding activities to make every moment on board memorable. Guests can participate in a traditional cooking class to prepare exquisite cuisine, or try their luck with exciting night squid fishing on the deck. In particular, at dawn, the Vovinam martial arts training session on the Sundeck not only helps visitors exercise but is also an opportunity to receive the purest energy from the world’s natural wonders right in the middle of the open space of sky and sea.

Cuisine on Calista Cruise is not simply meals but also an inspiring Gastronomy journey, where guests’ taste buds are awakened by the delicate interplay between fresh local seafood and luxurious Western Fine Dining style. Typical ingredients of the Gulf region such as lobster, catfish or ocean oysters are meticulously prepared by talented chefs, combined with typical sauces and classy presentation techniques, creating dishes that are both rich in the breath of the sea and fully retain the sophistication of international cuisine. To provide a deeply personalized experience, the cruise ship has designed a specialized menu system to suit all guests’ needs. The “Winter Menu” focuses on dishes that bring a cozy feeling such as coconut-flavored oven-baked pumpkin soup or grilled lamb chops with wine sauce. For travelers who love a healthy lifestyle, the “Vegetarian Menu” is a symphony of natural vegetables with elegant yet nutritious dishes. In particular, the “Kids Menu” is built specifically for young diners with favorite dishes such as cheese seafood pizza, spaghetti with minced beef sauce or fried chicken nuggets, ensuring satisfaction for even families with small children. The highlight not to be missed in the multi-sensory experience here is Calista Breeze Bar located on the spacious Sundeck area. This is the ideal space to participate in romantic Sunset Parties, where visitors can immerse themselves in the magical beauty of the bay at dusk. Here, you will enjoy a signature cocktail called “Blue Ocean” with the blue color of the ocean mixed with the cool taste of fruit, creating a moment of absolute relaxation in the heart of the world’s natural heritage.

Calista Cruise puts sustainability as a guideline for all operational activities, affirming a luxury brand’s responsibility towards natural heritage. The pioneering yacht is equipped with an advanced wastewater treatment system (AWP), ensuring that all domestic wastewater is thoroughly treated through a modern filtration process before being discharged into the environment. This technology, combined with the Hybrid operating system, helps to maximally protect the water quality and sensitive ecosystem of Ha Long Bay, keeping the blue color of the sea always pure. In an effort to reduce waste into the ocean, the cruise ship implements a strict policy of minimizing single-use plastic throughout the cruise. All items serving tourists, from water bottles in the room to utensils at the restaurant and bar, are replaced with glass, ceramic or environmentally friendly biological materials. This is part of the “green tourism” strategy, helping tourists enjoy a luxurious resort space without leaving a negative impact on the natural landscape. Besides technical solutions, Calista Cruise also focuses on supporting indigenous communities and directly participating in preserving the bay ecosystem. The brand is committed to prioritizing the use of human resources and specialty ingredients from the local area, contributing to promoting a sustainable regional economy. At the same time, the cruise ship also regularly accompanies campaigns to clean the marine environment and educate awareness of heritage conservation, turning each cruise into a responsible and deeply meaningful journey for the community.
