Spend 2 nights aboard a 5-star luxury cruise ship featuring private-balcony suites, a spa pool, sundeck, restaurant, and bar. Choose the Junior Suite for a comfortable stay, the Senior Suite for additional space and a higher-deck location, or the Royal Suite for the most spacious and exclusive onboard experience.

Explore caves by kayak or bamboo boat, swim in sheltered waters, cycle through Viet Hai Village, join a cooking class, enjoy a sunset party, practice Tai Chi at sunrise, try squid fishing, and experience traditional cultural performances on board.

Enjoy Vietnamese and local specialties throughout the cruise, including onboard lunches, candle-lit gala dinners, light breakfasts with tea and coffee, and an early buffet lunch before returning to port. Vegetarian options are available.

What our guests say
Jun 2026
Booked last minute and so glad we did. Our kids LOVED the bamboo dance (didn’t even know what that was before). Crew kept them entertained so we could chill on the sky bar. The cave tour is very cool—watch your head, ceiling is low! Make sure to get up for sunrise on the water, it’s magic.

This was our honeymoon trip and it did not disappoint! The view from our room was absolutely STUNNING. The activities were fun, especially the cooking class. Staff even decorated our room with rose petals. If you like cocktails, try the mango mojito at the sky bar. 10/10 experience.

The highlight was the sunrise kayaking—do NOT miss it. My wife nearly tipped us over but we survived. Crew is super attentive, especially Lisa who always had a smile. The foot soak was surprisingly relaxing. Rooms big enough for us and our baby. Would go again!

Went with three college friends. Boat is not huge, so never felt crowded. Crew is chill, not pushy. Kayaking was highlight for us. Didn’t love the buffet breakfast (eggs were cold), but dinner was GREAT. Bar drinks are extra, fyi. Overall, fun trip!

Booked this for my girlfriend and I as a treat. The view from our balcony was sooooo pretty. Crew were all really friendly, Andy gave us tips for photos. The cave visit was cool but crowded. Pool was chilly but nice after the heat. Def recommend!
