Halong Bay & Lan Ha Bay Luxury Day Cruise by The Halong Catamaran
Overview
Available languages
12 hours
Mobile ticket
From the moment you step aboard The Halong Catamaran, the difference is easy to feel. This double-hull catamaran offers greater stability, spacious decks, and a smoother ride, creating a relaxed way to explore the bay.
Instead of the busy routes, our day cruise takes you through less-crowded area in Lan Ha Bay, where limestone karsts and calm seas shape a more peaceful experience, away from the crowds often found in Halong Bay.
One of the most enjoyable parts of the journey is the water activities, with kayaking, a floating trampoline and water slides set directly from the boat. You can jump, slide, or unwind on the sundeck, adding a playful element not commonly found on traditional cruises.
The experience is completed by the human touch. A friendly, attentive crew is always nearby, and the onboard chef can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and other special dietary requirements, for example allergies, dairy-free or gluten-free — ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience onboard.
