There are places in Vietnam that are best experienced slowly.
Halong Bay is one of them.
As limestone islands rise dramatically from emerald waters and the horizon changes with every turn, a journey across the bay becomes more than sightseeing. It becomes a moment to pause, breathe and experience one of Vietnam's most extraordinary landscapes from a different perspective.
Luna Halong Cruise is designed around that idea.

Luna Halong Cruise
Contemporary, spacious and thoughtfully crafted, Luna brings together panoramic views, refined dining, elegant accommodation and curated experiences aboard one of the bay's largest luxury vessels. With capacity for up to 550 guests, the cruise offers the scale for grand occasions while creating spaces designed for relaxation, celebration and discovery.
From a seven-hour journey through the iconic landscapes of Halong Bay to an intimate evening of dining and entertainment, or a more immersive 2-day-1-night voyage, Luna offers different ways to experience the same timeless destination.
The philosophy is simple: see more, taste more, experience more — without compromising comfort.
Whether you are planning a sophisticated day escape, a romantic dinner on the bay, a family celebration, a corporate event or an overnight retreat, Luna Halong Cruise turns the journey itself into part of the destination.
Overview
Where Contemporary Luxury Meets the Timeless Beauty of Halong Bay
A luxury cruise is not defined simply by its size or facilities. It is defined by how those elements come together to create a sense of place.
Luna Halong Cruise brings a contemporary interpretation of cruising to Halong Bay, combining expansive spaces with elegant interiors, panoramic views and carefully curated experiences. Designed to accommodate up to 550 guests, Luna is particularly distinctive in its ability to offer both large-scale experiences and more intimate settings within the same vessel.

Refined Dining Experience Aboard Luna Halong Cruise
As the cruise leaves Halong International Cruise Port, the scenery gradually transforms. The city fades behind you, the water opens up and the iconic limestone formations of Halong Bay begin to dominate the horizon.
This is when Luna becomes more than transportation.
The expansive decks invite guests to step outside and take in the landscape. Restaurants provide a setting for refined meals while the bay becomes the backdrop. Entertainment areas bring energy to the journey, while quieter spaces allow guests to simply sit back and watch the scenery unfold.
The cruise also offers three distinct ways to experience Halong Bay: a 7-hour Day Cruise, a 3.5-hour Dinner Cruise, and a 2-day-1-night Overnight Cruise.
Each itinerary has its own rhythm.
The Day Cruise is about discovery. The Dinner Cruise transforms the bay into an evening setting of lights, flavors and entertainment. The Overnight Cruise slows everything down, allowing guests to wake up surrounded by the tranquil landscapes of the heritage bay.
For travelers looking for a more elevated way to experience Halong Bay, Luna offers something particularly appealing: the freedom to choose how deeply you want to enter the journey.
Cabins
Your Private Retreat Above the Emerald Waters
There is a certain luxury in having nowhere else to be.
On an overnight cruise, the cabin becomes more than a place to sleep. It becomes your private retreat — a quiet space where the landscape outside becomes part of the experience.
Luna Halong Cruise offers four cabin categories: Superior, Deluxe, Premium and Suite, with contemporary interiors, modern amenities and views designed to keep the beauty of Halong Bay close at hand. The official cruise website currently lists cabin sizes ranging from approximately 32 to 42 square metres, depending on category.
The Superior Cabin offers an elegant and comfortable base for the journey, while the Deluxe Cabin adds a greater sense of space and selected categories feature private balconies.
For travelers seeking more room to unwind, the Premium Cabin offers approximately 35–42 square metres depending on the current configuration, while the Suite Cabin represents the most spacious accommodation category, at approximately 42 square metres.
The design philosophy is understated rather than excessive.
Natural views take centre stage.
Large windows and private balconies in selected categories allow guests to wake to limestone cliffs floating above the morning mist or watch the last light of day disappear across the bay.
A morning coffee can become a quiet ritual.
An afternoon spent watching the scenery from your private balcony can feel like a moment suspended in time.
And at night, when Halong Bay becomes almost completely still, your cabin becomes a peaceful retreat after an evening of dining and entertainment.
For those who believe that luxury is ultimately about space, privacy and the freedom to slow down, Luna's cabins provide exactly that.
Events
A Grand Setting for Moments Worth Celebrating
Some occasions deserve more than a conventional venue.
A birthday, anniversary, wedding celebration, private gathering or corporate event becomes something entirely different when the venue itself is moving through one of Vietnam's most spectacular natural landscapes.
With its large capacity, expansive decks, restaurants, entertainment spaces and flexible layouts, Luna Halong Cruise is designed to accommodate both leisure journeys and larger-scale events. The cruise also promotes charter experiences and MICE-oriented services, making it suitable for corporate gatherings, gala events and tailor-made celebrations.
Imagine welcoming guests aboard as the afternoon light begins to soften.
The city gradually disappears behind the horizon.
Dinner is served against a backdrop of limestone islands, while music fills the space around you.
As evening arrives, the atmosphere changes again.
For larger celebrations, Luna's spacious decks provide room for entertainment, live performances and social gatherings. The Dinner Cruise, for example, combines dining with DJ entertainment and a fireworks finale, creating an energetic evening atmosphere over the bay.
For businesses, the scale of the vessel offers another advantage.
Instead of dividing a large group between different venues, Luna can bring dining, entertainment, sightseeing and networking together within one destination.
For private groups, charter options offer the possibility of creating a more personalized experience around a particular occasion.
This is where Luna moves beyond the traditional definition of a sightseeing cruise.
It becomes a floating venue for memorable moments.
And when the backdrop is Halong Bay, the setting requires very little decoration.
Nature has already done the work.
Lifestyle
The Art of Living Well at Sea
Luxury travel is increasingly about experiences rather than possessions.
It is about how a place makes you feel.
A quiet morning with the first light of day.
A leisurely afternoon on the water.
A glass of wine while limestone islands drift across the horizon.
Music at sunset.
A long dinner with nowhere else to be.
Luna Halong Cruise is designed around this slower, more experiential approach to travel.
During the journey, guests can combine sightseeing with a selection of activities, including kayaking or traditional bamboo boat experiences, cave exploration and time on the sundeck. The Overnight Cruise adds moments such as Vietnamese cooking classes, evening squid fishing and Tai Chi at sunrise.
The beauty lies in the balance.
You can be active in the morning and completely relaxed by afternoon.
Explore Sung Sot Cave, climb to the summit of Titop Island, paddle through the calm waters around Luon Cave, then return to the cruise for afternoon tea and live music.
Or choose not to do anything at all.
Find a comfortable place on the sundeck.
Watch the water.
Let the landscape change around you.
That freedom is an important part of the Luna experience.
For travelers accustomed to fast itineraries and crowded schedules, a cruise across Halong Bay offers something increasingly valuable: time.
Time to explore.
Time to connect.
Time to celebrate.
And, perhaps most importantly, time to simply enjoy where you are.
Culinary
A Culinary Journey Inspired by Asia and Europe
Great travel is often remembered through food.
At Luna Halong Cruise, dining is designed to be part of the journey rather than simply a necessity between excursions.
The cruise's culinary offering combines Asian and European influences, with the official itinerary highlighting a buffet of nearly 100 international dishes on the Day Cruise. Premium seafood and carefully presented dishes are positioned as part of the more elevated dining experience.
The setting makes the meal even more memorable.
Rather than dining in a conventional restaurant surrounded by four walls, guests can enjoy their meal while Halong Bay unfolds beyond the windows.
The result is a dining experience shaped by both flavor and landscape.
On the Day Cruise, lunch becomes one of the central moments of the journey, followed by afternoon tea and live music as the cruise continues across the bay.
The Dinner Cruise takes the culinary experience in a different direction.
As night falls, Luna anchors near the Bai Chay area, creating an atmospheric setting for an evening buffet featuring nearly 100 Asian and European delicacies. The experience then transitions into music, DJ entertainment and a fireworks performance on the sundeck.
For those choosing the Overnight Cruise, the pace becomes more intimate.
Guests can enjoy a premium European-style set-menu dinner before spending the evening on the bay, perhaps with a drink under the night sky or an opportunity to try squid fishing.
At Luna, food is therefore not simply served.
It becomes another way of experiencing Halong Bay.
The landscape is the setting. The cuisine is the story. And the journey brings them together.
Facilities
Designed for Comfort, Celebration and Connection
A cruise of this scale needs more than beautiful scenery.
It needs spaces that allow guests to move effortlessly between relaxation, dining, entertainment and discovery.
Luna Halong Cruise has been designed with that versatility in mind.
The vessel combines spacious public areas, restaurants, entertainment spaces and expansive outdoor decks, creating different environments for different moments of the journey. The official website highlights its large capacity, refined culinary spaces and entertainment offering, while its event-oriented design makes it suitable for celebrations and larger gatherings.
One of the most visually distinctive features is the glass-bottom infinity pool, which adds a contemporary leisure element to the cruise experience.
The outdoor spaces are equally important.
The sundeck provides a natural place to enjoy panoramic views, live music and sunset moments, while the cruise's entertainment areas can transform the atmosphere from relaxed daytime cruising into a lively evening experience.
Dining spaces are designed to accommodate different styles of travel, from international buffet dining to more premium and private dining experiences available within selected packages.
This flexibility is one of Luna's strongest qualities.
A couple may spend the afternoon quietly enjoying the scenery.
A family can gather over lunch.
A corporate group can organize a private event.
And a celebration can continue into the evening with music and entertainment.
Everything happens on the same journey.
The result is a cruise that feels less like a vessel carrying passengers from one destination to another, and more like a complete lifestyle experience on the water.
Choose Your Luna Halong Experience
There is no single way to experience Halong Bay.
Some travelers want to see as much as possible in one day. Others prefer to arrive for dinner as the city lights begin to glow. And some want to wake up in the middle of the bay, surrounded by limestone islands and calm emerald water.
Luna offers all three.
