Paradise Cruises
Paradise Cruises are a step up from most of the vessels cruising Halong Bay and offers a luxurious and more intimate cruising experience.
Choose from Deluxe Cabins, Balcony Cabins and Suites.
On the top-deck, you can laze in the sun, surrounded by the stunning setting of the bay as well as enjoying a barbecue dinner.
Paradise Cruises operates 4 vessels on Halong Bay and we primarily offer cruises on Paradise Luxury.
The overnight cruise of Halong Bay is the most popular option and offers a great experience of all times of day in one of the most beautiful locations in Vietnam.
What's so Special?
A Halong Bay Cruise with Paradise Cruises offers a good balance between leisurely cruising and seeing the highlights of the bay - not too much is tried to be crammed in and most guests enjoy the balance of cruising and shore excursions.
Paradise Cruises depart from an area where only a handful of the cruises on Halong Bay depart from.
This means the sailing itinerary is less crowded and has a more peaceful ambience, with fewer other vessels in sight.
Paradise Luxury has possess four cabin types – with 17 cabins on board. The design is spacious, stylish and uncluttered with wooden floors and en-suite bathrooms.
Choose from Deluxe Cabins, Balcony Cabins and Suites.

Touring Vietnam
A cruise of Halong Bay on Paradise Cruises can be incorporated into a tour of Vietnam or Indochina.
We have a selection of suggested Vietnam and Indochina tours which include a Halong Bay cruise.
A Halong Bay cruise is one of the most memorable trips you can make in Vietnam and we highly recommend including one.
An overnight cruise is the best way to see Halong Bay as you will be able to experience the beauty of the bay at dawn and dusk.
Day cruises are available but won't give you the same feeling for being out on the water and your experience will be limited.
