Overnight Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay Cruise with Hanoi Pickup and Drop-off

The eternal grandeur of Vietnam’s Halong Bay unfurls from the wooden decks of the V’Spirit Premier Cruise, where every corner turned is a new angle on the purest artwork. We are a new luxury cruise in Halong Bay a poetic marriage of tradition and environment in the northeastern corner of our Vietnamese homeland. Built of the finest materials countrywide, The V’Spirit Premier Cruise is the essence of Vietnam, embodied in burnished wood and billowing sails, manifested by a cruise as steeped in tradition as it is in innovation.

The V’Spirit Premier Cruise takes the route less travelled, bestowing to you a chance to step back in time and see the bay before the dawn of tourism. We find this in Lan Ha Bay, the southern section of Halong Bay and an indistinguishable limestone copy of its more famous neighbour. Here, the voice of the wild speaks louder than the roar of the engine, where statuesque mountains, evocative caverns and jungle-clad islands comprise nature’s silent masterpiece.
