Introduction to Port

Ha Long Bay, Vietnam’s crown jewel on the Gulf of Tonkin, stands apart from other cruise ports because its seascape is a living sculpture of more than 3,000 limestone karsts that rise from emerald waters, with many cliffs concealing hidden caves and secluded coves accessible only by sea. A visit here is more than a port call—it’s an invitation to glide among wind-sculpted giants, paddle through tranquil lagoons, and anchor beside floating villages where fishermen cast their nets and share stories of the bay. Signature experiences include dawn kayaking through narrow passages framed by towering pillars, sunset scenery from a deck while the limestone silhouettes glow, and immersive stays that combine Bai Tu Long Bay’s pristine seascapes with Cat Ba Island’s biodiversity and Lan Ha Bay’s quieter coves. The fleet mirrors the bay’s drama: a spectrum of vessels from intimate boutique yachts to mid-size premium ships, each with panoramic lounges, expansive sundecks, and flexible itineraries that pair kayaking, cave exploration, and coastal cruising with comfortable, reef- and eco-conscious design. Onboard services blend warm Vietnamese hospitality with modern comfort—chef-driven menus highlighting fresh seafood and local produce, spa and wellness facilities, multilingual guides, Wi-Fi, and seamless shore arrangements so guests can focus on the wonder outside their window. What truly sets Ha Long Bay apart from other cruise ports is this unique blend of monumental geology, intimate encounters with traditional life on the water, and the ability to tailor active exploration and serene cruising into a single, unforgettable voyage.
