Loi started his cruise company in 2018 with a strong belief that small boats = better experiences. So instead of huge boats, Loi and his team focused on comfortable, small‑group cruises through Lan Ha Bay, so guests can soak in the scenery without feeling rushed. With nearly 15 years in the tourism industry, Loi has mastered what makes a trip special - thoughtful itineraries, warm hospitality, great attention to detail, a knowledgable crew and fresh Vietnamese meals on board.
