When packing for Cruise, the most important items to bring are comfortable clothing, swimwear, and sunscreen. If you travel during winter months (November to Feb), you may also need to pack a light jacket or sweater to keep warm during cooler evenings.
Typically, each cruise provides 1 – 2 bottles of water for free every day, and you will not be allowed to bring your own drinks. So, if you want to stay hydrated, bring some money (the drinks on board are a little pricy)
It is also recommended that you bring a camera or smartphone with enough of storage capacity for photos and videos in order to make the most of your trip. Prepare some waterproof protection for them, as you will be doing a lot of water-based activities.
Finally, remember to bring any medications or toiletries you might need while away from home.

It’s really amazing and the best cruise one can take if you prefer to travel Lan Ha Bay. Everything about it was superb. The staff, however, made the experience a 11/10. Joey was the best guide I’ve ever had and she catered to every need and made sure we had a special experience
Richard B –
Great service and super nice crew. We told them that we are vegetarian and they accomodated an entire vegetrian menu throughout the trip for us.
