A resort in Vietnam has taken the guest experience to another level – to the azure depths of the south China Sea.
Vacationers at the Vinpearl complex on Hon Tre Island off the coast of the city of Nha Trang can now book a breathtaking ride in a 24-seat air-conditioned submarine with huge picture windows.
Dubbed the DeepView 24, the submarine can reach depths of up to 100 m (328 ft), with guests seated in a 15.4 m (50.5 ft) long interior space large enough to stand in.

Anyone nervous about boarding should remember the company that built it – Triton submarines. It knows a thing or two about underwater vessels, having made the Limiting Factor submersible, which made a record-breaking dive to the deepest point in the planet’s oceans, Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench – 10,927 m (35,853 feet) below the surface.
Florida-based Triton boasted that DeepView 24 is “the most significant commercial tourism submersible launched in the last two decades.”

Vinpearl Submarine Nha Trang takes ticketed passengers on a 30-minute dive past shipwrecks and reefs and amidst all manner of marine life. Triton said, “From the comfort of the luxurious, air-conditioned interior, the submersible’s passengers will engage with the ocean in a way that far surpasses that of traditional tourist submersibles with restricted viewing windows.”
One of the goals of the Vinpearl submarine voyage is to raise awareness of the plight of the oceans and the widespread and rapid decline in coral reefs and marine life around the world
One of the objectives of the trip is to raise awareness of the oceans’ plight and the widespread and rapid decline in coral reefs and marine life around the world.
Triton said, “From the comfort of the luxurious, air-conditioned interior, the submersible’s passengers will engage with the ocean in a way that far surpasses that of traditional tourist submersibles with restricted viewing windows.
“The Triton DeepView 24 is designed to sit stable on the water surface, allowing for easy boarding and disembarking of passengers and improving safety for support personnel working in the water.
“The generous entry hatch also makes it easier to get in and out of the submersible, even for passengers with restricted mobility.
“The Triton DeepView 24 is virtually silent, completely environmentally friendly and produces no carbon or waste water emissions. Like any submersible, it has no environmental impact or footprint. It was developed in response to the growing demand from travelers and tourists alike for adventurous and experiential vacations.’
Triton added: “While the submarine was built by Triton’s Barcelona team and first delivered to Vietnam in April 2020, the pandemic has prevented its official launch until now.
Vinpearl said: “Triton has a proven reputation for building submarines that can repeatedly and safely visit even the deepest points of our oceans and we knew their significant experience would ensure the safety of the submarine and therefore our guests .” The image above shows DeepView 24 before delivery
‘During this time, the Triton team has worked closely with the Vinpearl team to grow the dive program and provide extensive training to its pilots and staff.’
Vinpearl said: “Triton has a proven reputation for building submarines that can repeatedly and safely visit even the deepest points of our oceans and we knew their significant experience would ensure the safety of the submarine and therefore our guests . Your team has been committed to working with Vinpearl on this project from the start and we hope our guests will appreciate the experiences we share with them.’
Tickets for the Vinpearl Submarine Nha Trang can be purchased online at wine pearl ticket office or through a travel agency. They cost $60 (£47) for adults and $40 (£31) for children.
