About Cruise
If you are searching for an impressive cruising experience in Halong Bay - Bai Tu Long Bay, Swan Cruises will be a wonderful mid-range option. Different from the modern outside look, the vessel offers 18 beautiful ocean-view cabins inspired by traditional culture and local materials. Bar and dining room is also designed in a comfortable and romantic setting with large windows for the best sceneries of the bay. Instead of sharing the waters with hundreds of junks, Swan Cruises sails you through the more pristine and less touristy Bai Tu Long Bay. Let’s discover the world natural heritage site at its best with Swan Cruise.
