With its two iconic sails rising proudly over the bay, the new-version Nostalgia Sail brings back the romantic image once closely associated with Halong Bay: calm, poetic & timeless.

Highlights
Iconic Twin Sails - A Symbol of Old Halong Bay
What makes Nostalgia Sails instantly recognizable in Halong Bay is its two iconic sails, inspired by traditional sailing vessels once seen across the bay decades ago. While many new Halong Bay luxury cruises focus on steel structures and futuristic design, Nostalgia Sails brings back the romantic image of classic sailing, creating a graceful silhouette that feels deeply connected to the bay’s history. Cruising on Nostalgia Sails feels like stepping into a timeless journey rather than a typical modern cruise.
Open Sundeck for Slow Living & Scenic Moments
The open-air sundeck on Nostalgia Sails is designed for guests who enjoy slow travel. With comfortable seating and open views in all directions, it’s the perfect place to watch sunrise over the limestone islands or enjoy a quiet sunset as the sails glide through the bay. This space captures the true spirit of a Halong Bay cruise: unrushed, peaceful, and deeply scenic.
Upper Deck Restaurant with a Classic Cruise Atmosphere
The restaurant on the upper deck offers a refined yet cozy dining experience, perfectly in harmony with the classic spirit of Nostalgia Sails. Large windows and an elevated position allow guests to enjoy panoramic bay views while dining, from soft morning light to golden sunsets. The warm interior design, combined with attentive service, creates a relaxed and elegant setting where meals feel personal and memorable.
Pool on the Upper Deck
The pool on Nostalgia Sails is located on the upper deck, creating a peaceful open-air space where guests can relax while surrounded by the timeless scenery of Halong Bay. Unlike large resort-style pools, this pool is designed for serene moments, where you can cool off under the sky, enjoy the gentle sea breeze, and admire limestone islands drifting by.
Massage on the Main Deck
The massage room on Nostalgia Sails is a peaceful retreat tucked away on the main deck, designed for complete relaxation after a day on the bay. Inspired by Vietnamese - Indochine aesthetics, the space feels warm and intimate, allowing guests to fully disconnect from the outside world.
Sundeck Bar
The bar on the sundeck is one of the most atmospheric spaces aboard Nostalgia Sails. Open to the sky and framed by sweeping views of Halong Bay, it offers a relaxed place to enjoy a cocktail as the day fades into evening. As the sun sets behind limestone islands and the sails move quietly across the water, guests can sip their drinks and feel the sea breeze.
