Spend a night on Aspira Cruise in Lan Ha Bay with balcony cabins, kayaking, Tai Chi, gourmet meals, and sunset views from Hanoi.

“The trip was perfect. 30y/o American couple doing the 1 night cruise. The rooms were beautiful, the staff was so nice, and the logistics were easy as can be. The cruise itself was stunning with picturesque views, the activities (kayaking, cooking class, swimming) were a blast, and the staff was so attentive. You'll see many other boats offering a similar itinerary but this boat was much nicer than the other ones. 5/5 would recommend and hope to return to do it again ourselves!”
