Halong Bay
A dreamscape of jade-green waters and towering limestone karsts, Halong Bay is Vietnam’s most iconic seascape. Best explored by luxury cruise, it’s the cast-iron ‘must-see’ of northern Vietnam.
Halong Bay is nature’s grand theatre, where thousands of limestone pinnacles rise imperiously from an emerald sea. This UNESCO World Heritage site is best discovered aboard a luxury small-ship cruise, where personalised service, fine dining and boutique cabins with private balconies come as standard. Premier operators such as Heritage Line and Paradise Vietnam offer immersive itineraries that blend comfort with cultural depth – think sunrise tai chi on deck, kayaking through hidden lagoons and dining on freshly caught seafood beneath the stars.
For those seeking quieter waters, nearby Lan Ha Bay offers all the splendour of Halong Bay but with fewer crowds, while Cat Ba Island is a gateway to jungle trails, mountain vistas and secluded coves. Whether you’re gliding past grottoes, visiting pearl farms or relaxing with a spa treatment as the bay drifts by, this is luxury in motion, to be savoured and enjoyed.
