The launch of the deluxe, five-star Starlight Cruise, was announced at a ceremony held in HCM City by the Oriental Sails Company.

"Starlight Cruise is one of the largest of its kind on Ha Long Bay with its 58m-length, 11m width and more than three of draft (depth of a vessel's keel below the water line, especially when loaded) ensuring absolute balance and stability in its movement," said Bui Van Chi, Director of Oriental Sails.

"It is also recognised as the safest cruise line on Ha Long Bay to date, thanks to its doubled bilge and bulwark," he added.

Initially, the company will run one ship and has a plan to enlarge its fleet to five by 2015.

Starlight Cruise has 32 sophisticated and luxuriously designed cabins.

It is equipped with high class amenities including a restaurant, a bar, two lounges, a library, a gift shop, a wine cellar, hot tubs, and a mini-golf course on the atrium deck.

"Starlight Cruise has been built with the aim to shine like a beacon on Ha Long Bay and bring unforgettable memories to the tourists on board," Chi said.
