Sleep aboard amid thousands of limestone islands, kayak through hidden caves, feast on a sunset seafood BBQ — on an intimate 9-cabin cruise. All-inclusive from VND 3,100,000 / guest.
Right next door to Ha Long Bay but far less crowded, Lan Ha Bay (Cat Ba, Hai Phong) shares the same dramatic limestone karsts, emerald water and untouched beaches — just quieter and far more private. Sunshine Golden Cruises lets you sleep right in the middle of it, waking up to a million-dollar view outside your cabin window.
Paddle through limestone caves and sheltered lagoons — just you, your paddle and glassy water.
Anchor at pristine white-sand beaches nearly untouched by footprints, water clear to the bottom.
Cocktail in hand as the limestone peaks turn gold — the most photogenic moment of the trip.
Shrimp, squid and oysters grilled right on the top deck at sea, with drinks of your choice.
A marble soaking tub beside a floor-to-ceiling window looking straight out over the bay.
A quiet evening on the water — try your luck squid fishing under the ship's lights and a sky full of stars.
9 cozy cabins with plush beds and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the bay — open your eyes to limestone peaks, pull back the curtain to hear the waves.
Shrimp, squid, oysters, grouper and more — caught the same day and turned into a 5–7 course menu by the onboard chef, served right at a table overlooking the bay.
Two short clips straight from the ship — the warm welcome that starts every voyage, and a night fireworks show over the bay.
