Slow cruise in quiet bays with a fresh boat & local adventures
Most cruises in Cat Ba are either short and packed or feel a bit dated — but this 3-day, 2-night boutique cruise offers something different. It’s slow-paced, thoughtfully designed, and perfect if you want to really sink into the rhythm of peaceful bay life. Plus, it’s one of the newest cruises in the area, so the boat (launching Jan 2026) feels fresh, comfy, and modern – not worn-out like many other overnight options built years ago.You'll stay on the same boutique boat the entire time – no switching between day boats and night boats like some other itineraries. With just 7 cosy cabins and a max of 18 guests, it’s intimate and relaxed. Designed with a heartfelt touch (inspired by The Little Prince!), you’ll be well looked-after with warm, personal hospitality. It’s perfect for conscious travellers who don’t want a generic cruise – you'll explore hidden parts of the bay, dine with villagers, kayak through quiet lagoons, bike through ancient jungle paths, and even spot glowing bioluminescent plankton at night.If you're the kind of traveller who loves avoiding tourist traps and connecting with local life, this one's for you. Families will also love the balanced mix of adventure and downtime – there’s karaoke, spring roll cooking, tai chi, biking, kayaking, and even fishing for your own clams!What to ExpectExplore peaceful Lan Ha Bay and the quieter parts of Bai Tu Long Bay – away from the Halong crowdsStay on a beautiful boutique boat with just 7 cabins and only 18 guests maximumVisit a fishing village and enjoy a traditional homemade meal in an ancient houseKayak through tranquil coves, swim in clear waters, or dig for clams and taste your fresh catchBike or take an electric cart through Viet Hai village and Cat Ba National ParkSpot glowing plankton while night kayaking and try your hand at squid fishingSavour fresh Vietnamese seafood, with dinner options tailored to your preferences – BBQ, hotpot & moreStart your mornings with a peaceful tai chi class on the deckFriendly bilingual guides (English & French), unlike other cruises that only offer English-speaking supportGood to KnowThis is a join-in cruise with a small group (max 18 people)The cruise departs from Cat Ba, and pick-up from Cat Ba town is includedIf you're coming from Hanoi, you'll need to arrange a transfer to Cat Ba separatelyKids will enjoy all the hands-on activities, but note the terrain around the village and national park involves some light walking or bikingDepending on weather conditions, the cruising route may change slightly – safety firstAmenities/facilitiesPrivate Rooms with air conditioning, private ensuite, and hot showersBeautiful sundeck for lounging and sunset viewsIndoor dining area serving traditional Vietnamese dishes and fresh seafoodGuided activities: kayaking, biking, cooking classes, tai chi, karaoke & moreAll meals included: 2 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners

Meet your host
Anh started her cruise line back in 2018 with a simple idea—smaller boats, better experiences. Instead of going big, she chose to build a handful of cosy wooden boats, each one thoughtfully designed to suit small groups, couples, or families. She picked Lan Ha Bay as her sailing route—a quieter, less touristy spot near Halong Bay—so her guests could enjoy the same stunning views without the crowds. From peaceful kayaking trips to relaxed evenings fishing off the side of the boat, Anh’s way of hosting is all about slowing down and making people feel at home on the water.
