A Ha Long Bay cruise is the highlight of any Vietnam vacation. In 1994, the bay was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its incredible natural beauty. Located in East of Hanoi, Ha Long Bay is home to thousands of islands covered in emerald-green foliage. An aerial view of Ha Long Bay reveals a triangular shape: Dau Go Cave to the west, Ba Ham Lake to the south, and Cong Tay Island to the East.

Set sail in a traditional junk ship through glassy, turquoise waters to see some of the most stunning natural sites in all of Asia. Ha Long Bay offers striking panoramas of towering mountain peaks and limestone islands that jut out of the sea. These isles shelter beautiful caves and coves that are ripe for exploration. Go for a swim to discover rich coral reefs and inland lakes, and spot local fishers who live in charming floating villages that are dotted around the bay. Most visitors to Vietnam cannot believe their eyes when they cruise this magnificent natural wonder. Ha Long Bay is a true vision of ethereal beauty -- where heaven and earth seem to collide.

Whether you’re traveling solo, with a loved one, or with your family, there are so many reasons to book a Ha Long Bay cruise. AAT offers a wide range of group, private, and custom tours that take you into the heart of this beautiful bay and give you chances to experience everything from sunrise tai chi classes on deck to master chef competitions and squid fishing with the ship’s crew.

What better way to celebrate mutual love than with a romantic cruise? Enjoy plenty of opportunities to savor flavorful wines and delicious local cuisine. Many melt-in- your-mouth dishes feature the region’s fresh seafood. Hand in hand, gaze at the sky as it shifts from sunset with rose-gold light shimmering over the water to a deep midnight blue. As you count the pearly stars, imagine all of the future joys your life together will bring. And from toddlers to teens, Ha Long Bay cruises offer plenty of fun activities for children and families. Try exploring some of the fascinating nearby caves or go for a swim in the shallow waters along the shore. For families who love outdoor adventures, hop in a kayak and slice through the waters or try snorkeling in the colorful coral reefs. Everyone will enjoy the fresh air, beautiful scenery, and comfortable cabin!
