At Garden Bay Luxury Cruise, we provide a unique local essence to everything we do. It is the connection between our crew, it is the distinctive itinerary, it is the delicious local seafood we serve, it is the oriental wooden heart of our ship. The most authentic experiences are always the best.
On a Garden Bay Luxury Cruise, we are always at your call. Our staff are always willing to assist you while simultaneously understanding your needs for privacy. They have local roots and they know Halong Bay like a home; its magical aura is a feeling that our crew are always eager to share.
We take you on the route-less-travelled to Bai Tu Long Bay. There are quiet, secluded areas all over Halong Bay and sharing their secretive wonder with you is a dream come true for us. We eschew the standard route and take you to places you will not have heard of, areas known only to the locals, revelling in the tranquil and genuine nature of Halong Bay.
With just 11 cabins, this small-to-medium cruise focuses on the personal touch, with an itinerary that gives you lots of time to do as you please. We treat you as an individual at Garden Bay Luxury Cruise, and you will receive the same respect we show to the legendary Halong Bay.
