Cruises in Vietnam
For an unforgettable adventure take a luxury cruise in Vietnam and experience some of the most stunning natural beauty the world has to offer. Situated in the emerald waters of the South China Sea Vietnam is home to breathtaking scenery. Thick green terrain, dramatic mountainscapes and palm fringed beaches provide a spectacular coastline and where better to get the best views than from the sea. A cruise is the perfect way to explore this fascinating country.
A popular destination for cruises in Vietnam is Ha Long Bay, an awe-inspiring sight with mystic mountains jutting from the cobalt waters. Ha Long is regarded by locals as the eighth wonder of the world and legend has it the 2000 islands were made by the Dragon Gods as they descended to earth to protect the ancient Vietnamese people from Chinese invaders.
A cruise in Vietnam allows you to discover hidden lagoons and explore secret caves, unearthing the treasures of this tropical paradise. Swim in the bath warm waters and admire the varied aquatic life and colourful coral reefs, and then go back to the luxury bedding on the boat in the evening.
The luxury boats the Vietnamese use to take guests on a coastal cruise are somewhat worryingly known as Junks – though thankfully are lavishly decorated and nothing like their name implies. Most are made from traditional teak wood and the spacious twin cabins come complete with en suite bathrooms and air conditioning as standard. Some of the more luxury Junks are fully equipped with bar and lounge, library, gym and spa. Cabins in the high-end Junks also have Jacuzzi baths and a balcony.
There are several tour operators in Vietnam offering various coastal cruise excursions, ranging from two to eight days. This part of the world is synonymous with the idea of paradise and what better way to enjoy its beauty than on a sailing expedition.
