FLOATING VILLAGES – LAN HA BAY – HA LONG BAY - DAU BE ISLAND – VIET HAI VILLAGE

Why this cruise stands out

• Aduta Cruise is a newly-launched boutique cruise (specifically said to have begun operations in October 2024) travelling through Lan Ha Bay and neighbouring seas. 

• The vessel is designed to combine modern comfort (private balconies, premium cabins, spa & fine dining) with the natural beauty and serenity of Lan Ha Bay.

• Importantly, Lan Ha Bay itself is a quieter, less-crowded alternative to the more famous Ha Long Bay. It offers thousands of limestone islets, hidden corners, fewer tourists and more flexible experiences. 

• The operator emphasises “eco-conscious travel” and small-group experiences: e.g., “maximum of 16 guests”

The vibe & what you’ll feel

• Serenity + nature: The limestone karsts rising from the emerald water, hidden lagoons, fewer crowds = a more peaceful, intimate cruising experience.

• Active but relaxed: You get a balance of adventure (kayaking, biking, caves) and leisure (sun-deck, swimming, fine dining).

• Luxury meets local culture: Premium cabins & services, yet excursions into local fishing villages & countryside paths give cultural depth.

• Small-group feel: With limited guest numbers, it tends to feel more personal than larger mass-tourist cruises.

• Photo-friendly & memorable: From balcony views, sunset/sunrise on deck, to secluded beaches — great for memorable travel photos.

Tips & things to keep in mind

• Bring appropriate gear: Swimsuit, sunscreen, insect repellent (for village/bike tours), comfortable shoes for cycling or walking.

• Check weather & tides: Boats may adjust itinerary depending on tides/weather. 

• Ideal timeframe: A 2-day / 1-night is ideal for a taste; if you have more time, 3-day options allow deeper exploration.

• Expect premium pricing: Given the luxury & remoteness, cost will be higher than basic day-cruises; worth comparing what’s included.

• Less crowded = more opportunity: Because Lan Ha Bay is less crowded than Ha Long, you’ll often have more space & fewer other boats around.

• Night stay considerations: Staying overnight on board elevates the experience, but check cabin grade and what scenery you’ll have early morning.

• Protect the environment: When kayaking/swimming, be mindful of preserving the natural surroundings. Our cruise operators emphasise responsible  and durable tourism.
