Step onto the deck and feel the bay quieten around you. Limestone karsts drift past like slow-moving sculptures while your ship — one of the Orchid Classic, Orchid Trendy or Orchid Premium boats — slides into the calmer waters of Lan Ha Bay. On board, every detail feels considered: balcony doors that open to morning mist, a bathtub waiting after sunset, a skybar where the first cocktail arrives just as the colors change. This isn’t a rushed tick-box tour; it’s a floating sanctuary crafted at your pace, with small-ship intimacy and crew who remember your name by the second day.

By day, you paddle quietly into hidden lagoons, visit island caves and cycle gentle lanes on Cat Ba Island, meeting local life far from the busiest Halong Bay channels. By night, you join a cooking class, learn a few Tai Chi moves or simply stretch out on a lounger as the bay turns dark and starlit. Whether you choose the all-suite Orchid Premium, the refreshed Orchid Trendy with 20 balconies per boat, or the timeless Orchid Classic trio, you’re stepping into one of the most loved halong bay luxury cruise collections in Vietnam — a perfect anchor for a wider Vietnam tour package that might weave in Hanoi, Ninh Binh or the highlands of Sapa.
