The Experience

Jacuzzi. Buffet. Sunset Party.

Sail into Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Island for 6.5 hours while a full Asian-European buffet is served on deck, then ride an electric car through Cat Ba’s rainforest to Trung Trang Cave and the Cat Ba National Park Natural History Museum.

Newly built in 2025 — please book early

The Tropical Cruise is a newly built vessel and tickets tend to sell out quickly. If you’re booking less than 72 hours before departure, we’ll need to double-check live availability with you. If the ship is fully booked, we’ll move you to a sister ship of the same quality and service standard, at the same price — with no change to your itinerary.
