Swan Cruise Bai Tu Long Bay
About Cruise
Swan Cruise Bai Tu Long Bay is a refined mid-range cruise designed for travelers seeking a tranquil escape from busy tourist routes. Operating as a classic Swan Cruise Boat, the vessel features 18 ocean-view cabins inspired by traditional Vietnamese culture and natural materials. Comfortable onboard spaces, including the restaurant and bar with large panoramic windows, offer uninterrupted views of limestone formations. While many cruises focus on Swan Cruise Halong Bay or Swan Cruise Lan Ha Bay, Swan Cruise chooses the quieter Bai Tu Long Bay, delivering a more intimate journey through this pristine UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.
