Aspira Cruise Halong Bay 3 Days 2 Nights – Balcony Views, Village Trails & Lan Ha Serenity
Wake to jade-green waters, glide through quiet corners of Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, and slow down with three dreamy days of balcony views, jacuzzis, and village life on Aspira Cruise.
Sail away from the buzz of Hanoi into the calm embrace of Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, where limestone peaks glow at sunset and your private balcony on Aspira Cruise becomes your sanctuary at sea.

This halong bay luxury cruise is designed for couples, families, and small Vietnam tour groups who value comfort, space, and authentic encounters more than ticking boxes. With a rooftop jacuzzi, gym, spa and all-balcony cabins, every moment feels like a floating boutique resort as you move from Ha Noi – Ha Long Bay – Lan Ha Bay and back. For the perfect balance, you can weave this experience into a wider Vietnam travel package so your journey through Vietnam becomes a flowing story, not a rushed checklist.

Aspira Cruise Halong Bay 3 Days 2 Nights — Itinerary & Cabin Highlights
🧭 Travel Route Line
Hanoi – Ha Long Bay – Lan Ha Bay – Bright & Dark Cave – Tra Bau Area – Viet Hai Village (Cat Ba Island) – Ba Trai Dao – Lan Ha Bay – Hanoi
Over three serene days, your journey begins in Hanoi and flows out along the highway towards Ha Long Bay, where Aspira Cruise awaits at Tuan Chau Marina. Once onboard, you follow a quieter Lan Ha Bay route: gliding past limestone pillars, kayaking at Bright & Dark Cave, then anchoring in the peaceful Tra Bau area. The second day takes you deeper to Viet Hai Village inside Cat Ba National Park, then back to the water for kayaking and swimming at Ba Trai Dao. Your final morning is for one last sunrise over Lan Ha Bay, easy kayaking among islets, and a relaxed drive back to Hanoi in the afternoon.
📅 Daily Highlights (Short)
- Day 1: Hanoi – Ha Long Bay – Lan Ha Bay – Bright & Dark Cave – Tra Bau
- Day 2: Lan Ha Bay – Viet Hai Village – Ba Trai Dao – Tra Bau
- Day 3: Lan Ha Bay – Kayaking – Ha Long Bay – Hanoi
Cabin Selection – Balcony Comfort at Sea
On Aspira Cruise, every category feels like a boutique hotel at sea. Junior Suites on the first deck offer private balconies and a stable ride; Senior Suites and Executive Suites on higher decks come with wider views and, for Executive and President Suites, expansive sun terraces for those who love outdoor space. All cabins feature private bathrooms (many with bathtubs), modern amenities, and access to shared luxuries like the sundeck, jacuzzi, spa, and gym. It’s an ideal match for travellers who want a halong bay luxury cruise feel combined with the intimacy of a smaller ship.
Farewell Line
As Lan Ha Bay’s final limestone silhouettes fade behind the boat and Hanoi gradually comes back into view, you’ll carry home more than photos: the taste of sea breeze at sunrise, the quiet smiles in Viet Hai Village, and that slow, deep sense of calm that only comes from three days truly at sea.
The day begins in the hum of Hanoi and ends with soft waves and starlight in the stillness of Lan Ha Bay.
✨ What You’ll Experience
You leave the streets of Hanoi behind and follow the modern highway towards Ha Long Bay, watching scooters give way to rice fields, rivers and low hills. At Tuan Chau Marina, the first limestone shapes rise from the water and Aspira Cruise appears waiting at the pier, ready with a welcome drink and friendly smiles. Once you’ve settled into your balcony cabin, lunch is served as the ship slips into the quieter curves of Lan Ha Bay, each bend revealing new layers of peaks and inlets. The afternoon is spent close to the water’s surface at Bright & Dark Cave, where you kayak or relax in a bamboo boat beneath towering cliffs. By sunset, you’re back onboard, soaking in the jacuzzi or standing at the rail in the peaceful Tra Bau anchorage, before ending the evening with a cosy cooking class, dinner and a quiet night under the stars.

This itinerary is ideal for couples, families and small Vietnam tour groups who want a calm, comfortable halong bay luxury cruise with a mix of scenery, soft adventure and local culture. The route through Lan Ha Bay, Viet Hai Village and Ba Trai Dao offers more space, more green views and fewer crowds than classic mass routes.
Most guests travel from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay by shared bus or limousine along the expressway, departing around 07:30–08:00 and arriving at Tuan Chau Marina before embarkation. If you prefer a smoother, private experience, you can book a car through ViettrendTour’s Luxury Private Transfer Hanoi – Halong and combine the cruise with other routes like Ninh Binh or Sapa.
Yes. Many travellers weave Aspira Cruise Halong Bay 3 Days 2 Nights into a longer Vietnam trip itinerary that includes Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Sapa, and sometimes the Mekong Delta or Phu Quoc. You can look at options like Vietnam Itinerary 6 Days — Unhurried Comfort, Vietnam 7 Day Itinerary — Deep-Dive Discovery or Grand Tour Vietnam — Epic North–Central–South and we’ll craft a seamless route around your cruise dates.
Pack light, breathable clothing, swimwear, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a light jacket for cooler evenings on deck. Comfortable walking or sports shoes are useful for Viet Hai Village and the paths on Cat Ba Island, while sandals or flip-flops work well onboard and on the beach at Ba Trai Dao. Don’t forget a reusable water bottle (single-use plastics are discouraged), power bank, camera, and any personal medication.
Yes. Calm waters in Lan Ha Bay, soft activities like bamboo boat rides, village visits and easy kayaking make this cruise suitable for most ages. Children enjoy swimming and exploring the decks, while older travellers appreciate the jacuzzis, sundeck loungers and gentle schedule.

The cooler, drier months from roughly October to April are popular for clear skies and comfortable temperatures in Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. The warmer months bring higher humidity and occasional rain, but also greener landscapes, warmer water and often more attractive offers. If you’re planning a complete vietnam itinerary, these patterns also help you decide when to add Sapa Tours or Mekong Delta Tours.
In cases of strong winds, heavy rain or safety alerts, local authorities may adjust routes, shorten excursions or temporarily restrict activities like kayaking and swimming. The captain and cruise manager will always prioritise safety and may substitute sites or modify timings. ViettrendTour will support you with clear updates, help with any necessary changes to your wider Vietnam tour packages, and ensure you understand all options before making decisions.
