If you want to do A truly exotic cruise, full of romance and relaxation, I recommend you get to Ha-Long Bay, one of the 7 wonders of the world, and declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1994 and the declaration expanded in 2000.
This wonderful bay in North Vietnam encompasses a protected area of more than 150.000 hectares. Its coastline is 120 kilometers.
According to legend, when the Vietnamese were fighting Chinese invaders from the sea, the Jade Emperor sent a family of celestial dragons to help them defend their land. These dragons spit jewels and jade, which became the islands and islets of Ha-Long Bay, and they formed a great wall in front of the invaders, and in this way they managed to sink the enemy ships. After protecting their land they formed the country known as Vietnam. In fact Ha-long means descending dragon.
Today there are many options to tour the bay on a cruise, in absolutcruceros We recommend the three-day package, which are two nights, so that you have time to enjoy nature, make a stop at Ti Top island, take a bath, sunbathe, practice sports and contemplate stunning panoramic views.
The first night, in all the agencies that offer this tour, is always in the ship's cabin, but the second night you can choose to stay on board and spend it in a hotel, or in a bungalow, which are located in the Ha-Long Bay.
As in hotels, The boats that will offer you have stars and categories, ask for the name of the boat. I have found good reviews of the Indochina Sails, a modern boat, but with a traditional appearance, with an exquisite varied food, affordable prices in which you can even enjoy happy hours for beers or long drinks. This ship also runs a two-day, one-night cruise, but we recommend the three-day option.
