Scarlet Pearl’s mission is to offer its guests the best cruise experience in Halong Bay, one of the most beautiful places in Vietnam and the world. We are deeply proud to help showcase and protect the unique UNESCO World Heritage site of Halong Bay (especially Lan Ha Bay) with its stunning and serene scenery forged over 500 million years, plentiful activities, and fascinating history. The name “Scarlet Pearl” is inspired by the traditional industry of farming pearls in the Halong Bay area, which is blessed with these wonderful, natural gifts. As well as acknowledging the pearl-themed experience that is enjoyed by our guests, this reference also shows the importance of sustainable travel to Scarlet Pearl Cruise. For example, a large proportion of employees, and all tour guides, are employed from within the region, to help support the local economy.
