Bai Tu Long Bay

The Cruise

3 Days / 2 Nights aboard the Cycad Cruise.

The three-day Cycad itinerary ventures deeper into the serene, untouched reaches of Bai Tu Long Bay, where limestone karsts rise from quiet waters far from the crowds. Beyond the Thien Canh Son Cave and Vung Vieng Fishing Village, you'll explore the Cap La area by day-boat, hidden lagoons and small private beaches, with more time for kayaking, the rooftop pool and the Indochine comforts of the ship. It's the most complete way to experience the bay's calmest, least-touristed corner.

Our experience of

Cycad Cruise

We've hosted guests aboard the Cycad and been over her ourselves, and she's quietly become one of our favourites for Bai Tu Long Bay. She's new, and it shows - modern cabins with floor-to-ceiling glass and private balconies, and guests keep mentioning the rooms and bathrooms as a step above what they expected for the price.

The food gets specific praise, and the kitchen is genuinely good with dietary requests - vegans and vegetarians tell us they were looked after properly, not as an afterthought. The crew make an effort to learn who you are, which sets a relaxed tone, and the days are unhurried: kayaking through Vung Vieng fishing village, sunset paddles and tai chi on the sun deck as the bay wakes up. Bai Tu Long is the quiet corner, with far fewer boats than Ha Long proper.

What we've found: the Cycad is a strong-value pick for couples and families who want the scenery without the crowds, a proper cabin and a crew that looks after them.
