V’Spirit Cruise


The eternal grandeur of Vietnam’s Halong Bay unfurls from the wooden decks of the V’Spirit Cruise, where every corner turned is a new angle on the purest artwork. V’Spirit Cruise, a new luxury cruise in Lan Ha Bay - Halong Bay, is a poetic marriage of tradition and environment in the northeastern corner of Vietnamese homeland. Built of the finest materials countrywide, V’Spirit Cruise is the essence of Vietnam, embodied in burnished wood and billowing sails, manifested by a cruise as steeped in tradition as it is in innovation.

With an elegant design of 3 decks, V'Spirit features an original oriental tone, Vietnamese traditional decorative style together with the infinite care taken to use only the high quality materials in construction and decoration creating luxury appointments and five-star-class service.

In Halong Bay, V’Spirit Cruise sails on the route less traveled, bestowing to you a chance to step back in time and see the bay before the dawn of tourism. Lan Ha Bay lies in the southern section of Halong Bay and an indistinguishable limestone copy of its more famous neighbour. Here, the voice of the wild speaks louder than the roar of the engine, where statuesque mountains, evocative caverns and jungle-clad islands comprise nature’s silent masterpiece.

V’Spirit Cruise is a luxury Lan Ha Bay - Halong Bay Cruises through Heaven on Earth. Explore more with Vietnam Travel today!
