Cruising in Vietnam is preferred
by many leisure travelers coming in to Vietnam. Whether it is around the karst
formation of the wondrous Halong Bay, or meandering along the exotic Mekong
River, there are many options for everyone, from budget – conscious to luxury.
1. Classic overnight cruise in Halong Bay
Cruising in Halong Bay is a
must-have experience in any Vietnam trip. As famous as it is, you will still be
astonished by the majestic beauty of 2,000 karstic islands and islets along
with some magnificent grottoes. And there’s no better way to experience this
two-time UNESCO World Heritage Site than taking an overnight cruise. In this
way you will have more time to gaze at the ever-changing seascape of the bay,
witnessing both sunset and sunrise, and even spend the night on your luxury
cruise as it anchored amidst the natural maze. Don’t forget to go kayaking and
learning tai chi on the sundeck as well. Some recommended cruises are Indochina
Sails, Gray Line, Emeraude, Starlight…
2. 3 day cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay
For those who like to get off the
beaten path or have already been around Halong Bay, a trip to Bai Tu Long Bay
can be a great idea. According to legends, after helping Vietnamese people
defeated the invading army from the North, Mother Dragon landed in Halong Bay
while her children occupied Bai Tu Long Bay. This large area is not as famous
as the neighboring Halong Bay, but it is way less crowded. In Bai Tu Long Bay,
Indochina Junks is the best option as they have experience of providing luxury
service with attractive itineraries.
3. Pandaw Halong Bay and Red River
Pandaw is the first luxury cruise to ever
operate in the Red River of Northern Vietnam. During the 10 – day itinerary,
you will spend your first night in Halong Bay, then go upstream through Kinh
Thay River and head for the capital city of Hanoi. Afterwards, there will be
lots of less-known and less-visited sites to be explored along the way during
the second half of your voyage. So this is a combination of getting off the
beaten bath and the inclusion of highlight destinations. This itinerary can be
only operated by Pandaw River Expeditions.
4. Mekong River Cruise between Saigon and Siem Reap
What you can expect in the exotic
Mekong Delta is tranquil waters, floating markets that sells fresh tropical
fruits and vegetables, endless rice fields and last but not least friendly
locals. The best way to cover all the highlights of this area is taking a
luxury cruise from Ho Chi Minh City, upstream and head for Siem Reap and the
Angkor Temples deep inside Cambodia. Itineraries range from 4 days to 10 days.
Reversed trips are also possible. Reputable cruises include Jayarvaman, Jahan,
Pandaw and Aqua Mekong Cruise.
