Lan Ha Bay

The Cruise

3 Days / 2 Nights aboard the Rosy Cruise.

Rosy Cruise is a 5-star boutique ship built for a calmer, more personal few days on the water, sailing the quieter Lan Ha Bay on the Cat Ba side of the region. Every cabin opens onto a private balcony, so the karst scenery is with you from the moment you wake, and the days are kept unhurried: swim and kayak in the afternoon, roll spring rolls before dinner, then watch the sun go down from the sundeck.

Days are spent among the limestone islands away from the busier Ha Long crowds, with time for a hidden beach, the caves and a night at anchor. When we plan a trip we match you to the right cabin and the right number of nights, arrange the transfers from Hanoi, and fold the cruise into a wider Vietnam itinerary. As private planners, we carefully craft each trip around you, choosing every cruise on how well it suits your dates and the rest of your route.

Our experience of

Rosy Cruise

We've hosted guests aboard the Rosy and been over her ourselves. She carries a lot of staff for her size, close to one crew member for every guest or two, and it shows - service is attentive without hovering, and the crew handle English, French, Chinese and Korean between them.

She's well furnished and genuinely comfortable, with balcony views over Lan Ha, and she was among the first on the bay to add a swimming pool and a soundproof karaoke lounge, so there's more to do on board than most. Days bring the caves, a cooking class and kayaking, and the kitchen turns out good food and handles dietary requests without fuss.

What we've found: the Rosy suits guests who want polished, personal service and a bit extra on board - a pool, karaoke, space - on the quieter Lan Ha side. Guests tend to recommend the three-day itinerary.
