About this trip
Two days aboard a well-appointed cruise boat, threading through the limestone karsts of Lan Ha and Ha Long Bay. Your cabin comes with a private balcony, so the scenery is never far away.
The boat itself is part of the experience, with a spacious sundeck for taking in the views and a restaurant on board. It is a relaxed, comfortable way to see two of Vietnam's best-known bays without moving between hotels.
What you'll do
- Cruise through Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay
- Stay in a private balcony cabin
- Take in the views from the open sundeck
- Eat onboard at the ship's restaurant
- Short two-day format, so most of the trip is spent on the water rather than ashore
- Easy pace, fully guided throughout, suited to families and groups
Worth it if you want stellar staff, genuine food, and scenic activities. Think twice if you hate early starts or want a slower pace.
- Staff genuinely memorable—Tony, Mike, Tom and Peter go above and beyond, even organizing fashion shows.
- Food consistently praised: buffet breakfasts, lunches, five-course dinners, squid fishing dinner included.
- Two days feels rushed; pick the three-day cruise if you want breathing room, not constant activities.
- Early hotel pickup at 8:30, midday boarding at 13:00 means 4.5 hours travel before ship departure.
