In Halong Bay, the V’Spirit Premier Cruise takes the route less travelled, bestowing to you a chance to step back in time and see the bay before the dawn of tourism. We find this in Lan Ha Bay, the southern section of Halong Bay and an indistinguishable limestone copy of its more famous neighbour. Here, the voice of the wild speaks louder than the roar of the engine, where statuesque mountains, evocative caverns and jungle-clad islands comprise nature’s silent masterpiece.
The V’Spirit Premier Cruise is a luxury Halong Bay cruise through Heaven on Earth.
With an elegant design of 3 decks, the V'Spirit Premier features an original oriental tone, Vietnamese traditional decorative style together with the infinite care taken to use only the high quality materials in construction and decoration creating luxury appointments and five-star-class service.
V’Spirit always puts the customer first, as we believe that everyone should be able to get a taste of the emerald paradise through which we cruise. We run regular special offers designed to bring the majesty of Halong Bay, as well as the elegance of V’Spirit, closer to passengers of every budget.
A two day, one night cruise to Lan Ha Bay on V’Spirit Premier Cruise is a perfect choice for those who want to explore a part of the Halong Bay
area that still maintains its primitive natural beauty.
