To have a more objective view, it is necessary to compare Pelican Glory with competitors in the same 4-star segment running the Ha Long route from Tuan Chau. In general, Pelican Glory shares many similarities in star class, itinerary and departure point with competitors such as Bhaya Classic or Syrena Cruises. However, Pelican Glory makes a clear difference with its safe steel hull structure (compared to some other wooden or steel hull ships) and especially the fact that 100% of cabins have private balconies, while many competitors only equip luxury room categories with balconies. Regarding bathtub facilities, Pelican Glory (only available in Royal Suite) is similar to other 4-star ships, this facility is often very limited. Pelican Glory does not have a swimming pool or hot tub, which few other 4-star or 5-star ships can offer. Regarding operating units, Pelican Group, Bhaya Cruises orSyrena CruisesAll are reputable and experienced names. Therefore, Pelican Glory is the ideal choice if you absolutely prioritize having a private balcony for every room, appreciate safety with steel-hulled ships and believe in Pelican Group’s reputation on classic Ha Long cruises.
