BUCKET LIST Ha Long Bay Luxury Cruise in Vietnam!
BEST Ha Long Bay Luxury Cruise in Vietnam! Add THIS to your bucket list. Bai Tu Long Bay Tour with Dragon Legend:
Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular destination in Vietnam. Bai Tu Long Bay is the name of the area in the east of Halong Bay, Vietnam. This Ha Long Bay 2D/1N luxury cruise takes you around Bai Tu Long Bay, admiring the BREATHTAKING limestone islands along the emerald water.
Ha Long Bay cruise is one of the tops things to do in Vietnam next to seeing Sapa! It is SO GORGEOUS. Definitely do more days of the cruise if you can! Halong Bay luxury cruises usually range from $100-200. You can get a basic day boat tour for as low as $40. In my opinion, spend a little bit more money to get the whole experience of this site.
I was offered a discounted rate for vlogging the cruise. All opinions are my own. Hope to return to Ha Long Bay again in the future. Would do this over and over again :')!

Halong Bay Luxury Cruise | Signature Cruise
This Halong Bay Luxury Cruise was made possible by:
If you’ve never been to Halong Bay, you need to add taking a luxury cruise through Halong Bay to your bucket list! Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for a good reason. It is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen! It’s filled with giant lime stone karsts that jut out of the water in every direction for miles.
The best way to experience the bay is by a luxury cruise. There are tons of cruise ship operators offering cruises through Halong Bay. The cruises range from cheap backpack boats to five start luxury cruise ships. Since visiting Halong Bay is most likely a once in a lifetime experience, we decided to splurge on a 5 star luxury cruise to ensure that we had the best experience possible!
We booked our cruise with Signature Cruise and we were elated with our experience. Seriously, we don’t have a bad thing to say about Signature Cruises, and that should mean a lot coming from me because when I splurge on an experience I am very critical. Also, the staff treated us like royalty! They made our experience even better.
Our luxurious cruise through Halong Bay started with an amazing lunch served while we were cruising to a floating fishing village. After arriving at the floating village we were rowed around the village in a row boat by one of the women who lived in the floating village. After our row boat ride was completed, we visited a pearl farm to learn how pearls are made. To be completely honest, this sounded kind of lame to me when I read it on the itinerary, but it was actually really interesting!
After leaving the pearl farm, we were taken back to the cruise ship. After an hour or so of relaxing and taking in the beautiful views of Halong Bay, we had a cooking class where we learned to make fresh spring rolls. After the cooking class we enjoyed happy hour with more beautiful views. After happy hour, a delicious five course dinner was served aboard the boat. After dinner I had the opportunity to try my hand at squid fishing. I got really lucky and managed to catch 10!

HALONG BAY TOUR | Day Trip Cruise from Hanoi 2019
Day 32- Took a Halong bay 1 day tour cruise from Hanoi, Vietnam. We booked a 1 day trip with Dragon King Cruises and it was an amazing experience. The cruise we booked was among one of the cheapest and highest rated for the experience.
We found it at a travel agency in Hanoi and it fit all of our needs and budget. We were able to go from Hanoi to Halong Bay and experience a lot of what Halong Bay had to offer for only 35$, in my opinion that is a steal because Ha Long Bay is on of the most beautiful places in the world.
We did many activities in the tour among some of my favorites which were kayaking an underwater cave, exploring sung sot cave, and hiking titop island for some amazing views atop a mountain. Overall really great experience and one of my favorite days in Vietnam.

5* LUXURY HALONG BAY CRUISE (ATHENA CRUISE) | Vietnam | Vlog 047
We head from Hanoi to Halong Bay for a trip of a lifetime on an Athena Luxury Cruise (2 day, 1 night) in Bai Tu Long & Halong Bay. We well and truly splurged for this trip but to say it was worth it would be an understatement. Everything from the food to the activities to the room was perfect and we had an amazing time!
We take you with us for the whole journey, do a room tour, show all of the amazing foods and this is only part/day 1! Stay tuned for our next video on the second day of this amazing trip.
Also as it turns out, if you go out of peak season (we went in February) then the crowds that you so frequently hear of in Halong Bay are almost non-existent.
P.s. Watch to the end for the most bloopers yet!

Halong Bay Cruise: Don't Book WRONG Overnight Tour (Choose Luxury!)
Hello Adventurers,
There are tons of options out there. Some are simply day tours of the bay, and some are overnight. Our Halong Bay Cruise from Hanoi was pretty darn exciting.
After having done it our self, we can promise that the best way to do a Halong Bay tour is the overnight experience, whether it's a signature cruise or a budget cruise or a luxury boat, just make sure you spend at least one night on the bay!
Why, you ask, should you spend a night on the bay? Because you get to see the awesome sunset and then the sunrise the next day. You'll probably get to go sea kayaking in the bay without tons of other tourists around.
Your company will probably take you to an island to enjoy a beach and maybe even explore a cave. There's so much to do and see on the bay that a day trip just won't do it justice.
Now, for the sticky part - if you book a larger cruise boat, you're going to have a much different experience than a small boat. The small boats are intimate, calm and peaceful. The large boats are essentially parties, with people really not caring too much about the bay and focusing on I'm on a boat type of stuff.
But it's your choice, and maybe you want that?
Regardless, we definitely recommend this experience - it was one of our favorite landscapes to ever behold.
- Jimmy & Maggie
P.S. We used Indochina Junk, and recommend them. Ballpark price of Halong Bay Cruise with them is about $215, and that's for the luxury cruise (a fantastic deal in our opinion!), with a pick up from Hanoi (or somewhere similar) in a luxury van, I mean, really, awesome deal!

Halong Bay Luxury Cruise | Day 2
This Halong Bay Luxury Cruise was made possible by:
Watch Day 1 of Halong Bay Luxury Cruise with Signature Halong Cruise -
Day 2 of our luxurious cruise through Halong Bay started with an early morning thai chi lesson. We learned to do Thai Chi on the top of the cruise ship while we cruised past the beautiful karsts that fill Halong Bay. After our class we were served a light breakfast before getting on the smaller boat to visit a cave inside one of the limestone karsts.
We left for the cave at 7 a.m.. Thankfully, Signature Cruises makes it a point to get there early. By the time we had finished exploring the cave, a lot more cruise ships had showed up. The cave was packed with tourists! We were lucky to get to experience the cave with only a few other people there.
After visiting the cave we had the opportunity to kayak back to the ship. We took the long way back and circled the island that held the cave. Being in a kayak so low to the water really helped us to appreciate the massive size of the limestone mountains that jut out of the water.
After returning the ship, we were served a delicious brunch as we cruised back to the port. Sadly, shortly after finishing brunch we arrived back to the port where we had to disembark the cruise ship. It was sad saying bye to ship and the amazing staff. Our only regret is that we didn't book a longer cruise!

BEST Halong Bay Luxury Cruise | Pelican Luxury Cruise
We found the best Halong Bay Luxury Cruise with the highest reviews, and we're excited for you to experience Pelican Luxury Cruise with us.
Halong Bay is a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site and definitely a world wonder. With so many cruise ships to choose from, we spent ample amounts of time studying reviews and looking into itineraries before landing on Pelican Luxury Cruise. The giant rock formations that jet up out from the water make for an incredible tourist destination that should be added to everyone's bucket list.
As a reference, some of the most popular cruise ships to choose from are Dragon Legend Cruise, Au Co Cruise, Bhaya Cruises, Signature Cruise, and Pelican Cruise. Although we have seen great things from many of these cruise ships including Signature Cruise, we decided on Pelican Cruise because we felt that it had the most positive reviews consistently across all customer age group.
Our experience on the luxury cruise ship was amazing! We started with a delicious lunch of fresh seafood and local Vietnamese cuisines. After lunch, every hour of our day had something special planned. We visited a pearl farm, fished for squid, woke up to tai chi, participated in a food demonstration, hiked one of Halong Bay's tallest island rocks.

Hi! We grew up on opposite ends of the United States in Texas and Ohio. Later in college, we met and got married in August of 2016. As poor newlyweds and recent college grads, we moved to New York City to begin what we thought would be our long careers in finance. Only one year later, after accumulating over 2 million miles and points through travel hacking, we booked round-the-world business class tickets to over 40 countries for free. We quit our jobs, sold everything we owned, and began this once-in-a-lifetime adventure on August 27, 2018. Chad has always loved creating home videos to hold onto the memories we share while traveling, so we started this YouTube channel as a place to share our adventures with friends and family. We hope you'll join our journey to exciting countries and experiences around the world!
Heritage Line Jewel of Halong Bay 2-Night Luxury Cruise
No trip to Hanoi is complete without a lulling cruise on Halong Bay ... and there's no better way to experience it in vintage style than on a Heritage Line cruise. Their 2-night Jewel of Halong Bay is a mesmerising journey that slowly (and almost silently) winds you through thousands of the rainforest-topped limestone islands in one of UNESCO's most breathtaking World Heritage Sites.
From the moment you step from the gangway onto the Jasmine, a traditional Vietnamese junk with three sails, you'll feel a connection to history and the natural beauty all around you. The ship welcomes guests with its ornate, decorative details and its dark wood inside and out. It's a pretty ship and the perfect choice for couples looking for timeless romance in Vietnam OR for solo travellers because the guests are very warm and I ate with really lovely people from around the world at each meal. It's also one of the few lines that offers a 2-night cruise and trust me, you'll want two nights.
There are fun activities onboard each day like sunrise tai chi and a cooking class each evening at sunset. And while there is a full roster of excursions, I thought I'd quickly explain why you won't see any in the video (please check here for the itinerary of activities you could enjoy). I decided to stay on board and chill because of the reviews I read of them feeling overly touristy (which is not the way I like to travel). The reviews were not of Heritage Line excursions but excursions in general from all ships because there are simply too many cruises on Halong Bay and it is over saturated at the excursion sites.
For TONS of pics from my cruise, visit my travel blog:
My biggest complaint was on the food, which I hadn't realised would be only buffet or set menu on the Jasmine. I learned later that Heritage Line's ship Violet has à la carte dining and is more luxury-focused. So my suggestion is to set sail on the Violet because while I enjoyed everything else, the only meal I enjoyed was the BBQ on night one.
This was such a peaceful and relaxing experience that I honestly was sad to disembark. Definitely book the 2-night cruise in a balcony cabin and go in for that foot massage!

Life on a Cruise in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam 2018 | Luxury Boat Tour
Ha Long Bay is the most visited place in Vietnam. After having spent a night in a cruise there, I know why. The place has 2000 islands and is best experienced in a boat or a cruise that takes you between the islands into the water alleys. There are places to kayak, beaches to sunbathe in and some hollow caves.
We did our cruise with Indochina Junk in their Dragon Legend Cruise. It is luxury cruise at its best. This video is all about the cruise and the boat and the property.
Check out more about their cruise from here -
You could book your tickets from booking.com too!
