Embark on a 3-day, 2-night voyage that transcends the ordinary. This is not merely a cruise; it is a curated passage through the heart of Vietnam’s maritime majesty, aboard a vessel where the elegance of a bygone era meets contemporary luxury. We navigate the serene, emerald waters of Lan Ha Bay, a path less traveled, offering an intimate communion with nature’s masterpiece. Beyond the iconic seascapes, our journey ventures into the soul of Cat Ba Island, revealing hidden grottoes and the timeless rhythms of local life.

Your Floating Sanctuary

Step aboard and into a world of refined Indochine aesthetics. Your cabin is a haven of tranquility, adorned with rich, dark oak furnishings and original lacquer art. From your private balcony, gaze upon the ever-changing panorama of karst limestone pillars through expansive windows. The vessel itself is a treasure trove of experiences, featuring a unique onboard art gallery—a hallmark of our brand. Here, you can even don the traditional Nhat Binh royal attire for a photographic memento steeped in history. Designed for discerning travelers and families alike, we offer seamless comfort with an elevator, a rare covered sundeck for unparalleled views in any weather, a mini-golf course, and an inviting outdoor jacuzzi.
