Overview
The legend of Halong Bay is one forever tied to the mythical Mother Dragon and her children, who blocked the advance of invaders by spitting islands from their mouths. Such an ancient, legendary area deserves a cruise that will show it the respect it deserves.
Dragon Legend Cruise offers a profoundly unique voyage through the breathtaking Halong Bay attractions. We focus on luxury in every aspect of our ship, in our culture-infused cabins, opulent indoor and outdoor dining areas, sundeck offering 360-degree views, ever-open bar, mineral seawater pool and relaxing spa.
Our experienced staff share a combined love of friendly Vietnamese hospitality and will display this at all times throughout your bay cruise. They are friendly, attentive and always willing to fulfill their job of ensuring your utter contentment in Halong Bay.
Make the legend a reality with Dragon Legend Cruise.
