1. Why Choose Lily Cruise for Your Lan Ha Bay Journey

Elegant European–Vietnamese Design & Comfort

The Lily Cruise is one of the newest 4-star boutique cruises sailing across Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay, officially launched in 2023. Built with a strong steel body, the ship ensures smooth movement even in windy weather, giving passengers a sense of safety and relaxation during their journey.

There are 20 spacious cabins, and every cabin features a private balcony with a full ocean view. This means you can wake up to the peaceful sound of waves and admire the sunrise right from your room — a truly special part of every traveler’s experience.

The cruise design reflects a perfect blend between European elegance and Vietnamese tradition. The interiors are decorated with natural wood, soft lighting, and warm tones that create a cozy, luxurious atmosphere. Each cabin is fully equipped with an air conditioner, minibar, flat-screen TV, ensuite bathroom, and premium bedding, ensuring you feel comfortable from the moment you step aboard.

Personalized Hospitality & Local Expertise

One of the main reasons travelers love Lily Cruise is its dedicated crew. The team is friendly, professional, and well-trained to make every guest feel welcomed and cared for. From the moment you check in at the harbor, you’ll be greeted with a warm smile, a refreshing welcome drink, and clear safety instructions from your bilingual crew members.

Throughout the journey, staff are always available to assist — whether you need help preparing for a kayaking session, requesting a vegetarian meal, or enjoying a cup of tea at sunset. Every detail of service on Lily Cruise reflects genuine Vietnamese hospitality.

If you’re traveling as a group or family, you can benefit from the Group Booking Threshold Rate. This special rate applies when booking from 8 to 10 cabins, offering:

  • A discounted package price for large groups or company trips.
  • A flexible cancellation policy, ideal for families or teams with changing schedules.

These exclusive offers are rarely found on other 4-star cruises and are especially valuable for travelers organizing family reunions, company events, or group retreats.
