• Experience Halong Bay Luxury Aboard Aimée Cruises

Sailing with Vietpower Travel, travelers can now discover the essence of refined elegance aboard Aimée Cruises—the newest six-star vessel managed by the legendary Bai Tho Junks. Blending Indochine artistry with modern design, Aimée offers 29 exclusive suites, curated dining venues, and personalized services that redefine luxury on Halong Bay. Every journey reflects harmony between cultural heritage and contemporary sophistication, creating an unforgettable Aimée Cruises experience in Vietnam’s most iconic seascape.

1. A Legacy Reimagined – From Bai Tho Junks to Aimée Cruises

Since 1991, Bai Tho Junks has been recognized as one of the pioneers shaping cruise tourism in Halong Bay. Over three decades, the brand has stood for authenticity, excellence, and a deep respect for Vietnam’s maritime heritage.

Now, Aimée Cruises ushers in a new era of refined exploration. Set to launch in November 2025, this vessel embodies the evolution of a 30-year legacy — uniting timeless craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation.

As part of Vietpower Travel’s curated Halong Bay luxury cruise collection, Aimée symbolizes the seamless connection between heritage and contemporary refinement. With transparent ownership, a certified operator, and a fully licensed cruise company, every detail reflects credibility, local expertise, and a commitment to sustainable tourism rooted in trust.

Planning the perfect honeymoon starts with choosing the right Halong Bay honeymoon cruise. From luxury balcony suites and jacuzzi rooms to romantic activities like private floating breakfasts or moonlight kayak tours, couples have endless options. Each cruise offers its own charm—spacious cabins, cultural touches, or modern design - making Halong Bay one of Asia’s most romantic destinations. 

2. Design Philosophy – When Contemporary Meets Vietnamese Heritage

A Distinctive Silhouette on Halong Bay

From a distance, Aimée Cruises commands attention with its elegant black-and-white exterior palette, an unconventional design choice among Halong’s fleets. This visual contrast conveys purity and sophistication — a nod to both modern aesthetics and cultural depth.

Measuring nearly 80 meters in length, Aimée is among the largest boutique ships in the region, yet accommodates only 29 suites. This generous ratio allows guests to enjoy unmatched space and privacy, transforming the vessel into an intimate sanctuary amid Halong Bay’s majestic limestone peaks.

Indochine-Inspired Interiors

Inside, Aimée reveals a refined blend of Vietnamese craftsmanship and French colonial artistry. Each space combines natural wood, gentle lighting, and delicate textures to create warmth and elegance. Every room and public area evokes the harmony between modern comfort and traditional charm — a testament to the ship’s “art of quiet luxury,” where every design element enriches the guest’s sense of peace and belonging.

3. Aimée’s Rare Architecture & Comfort Engineering

Accessibility and innovation are at the core of Aimée’s design. The three-deck elevator system ensures effortless movement between floors, catering to senior travelers and those with reduced mobility — a rarity found in fewer than 7% of Halong Bay cruises.

Beyond convenience, the cruise’s 80-meter steel hull guarantees smooth, stable sailing and quiet operation, even through changing sea conditions. Wide corridors and intelligent space planning enhance onboard comfort, reinforcing the ship’s dedication to inclusivity and safety.

This architectural harmony reflects the vision of Bai Tho Junks: to offer every traveler a sophisticated and secure experience guided by thoughtful innovation.
