Type of cruise

There are 2 types of luxury cruises in Halong Bay: the boutique or the modern.

Luxurious boutique cruises tend to be smaller boats with fewer people. They normally have their designs inspired by traditional Vietnamese values, such as legends, local artisan artworks, or typical Halong Bay fishing boats. For example, the Heritage Binh Chuan Cruise is inspired by the legend of Bach Thai Buoi – the first shipwright of Vietnam. These Vietnamese values also affect the cruise concept, such as meals (mostly traditional) or activities (Vietnam tea party).

Modern luxury cruises in Halong, on the other hand, are often styled as superyachts with modern technology, bigger in size, and offering various facilities. These cruises also are newer and bring you a more Western feeling on board.
