Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
La SEN of the Bay is a new steel cruise launched in 2026 with only 25 cabins, all suites with a private balcony and a bathtub. It is a 77-metre ship for up to 99 guests, run by TQD Travel, and sails a quieter route from Ha Long Bay into Lan Ha Bay. On board: an infinity-edge pool, a spa with sauna and massage, a gym, a mini-golf green, a wine and cigar lounge, a karaoke room, a 270 m² restaurant and a sky bar on the top deck.
What the three days look like
Day one boards by tender at Tuan Chau International Marina around 11:30–12:30, with lunch past the Con Vit islets, kayaking or swimming in the Ong Cam area of Lan Ha Bay, a cooking demonstration and a sunset party. Day two is spent on a day boat: cycling through Viet Hai fishing village and its forest and rice fields, lunch on the day boat, then kayaking and swimming around Ba Trai Dao, the heart of Lan Ha Bay. On the last morning you visit Dark & Bright Cave by local rowing boat, have lunch on board and reach Tuan Chau at about 12:00.
Choosing a cabin
Every cabin has a private balcony, a bathtub, a safe, a fridge and satellite TV. The first deck has 6 Ocean View Suites (35 m², double or twin), 4 Family Suites (38 m², 3 adults) and 1 Connecting Suite (two suites joined, 70 m², 4 adults). The second deck has the same layouts as Premier: 9 Premier Suites, 4 Premier Family Suites and 1 Premier Connecting Suite, higher above the water for a small extra charge. Also on the second deck are the only 2 Executive Suites (55 m²), with a round king bed, a private terrace and an outdoor jacuzzi: they sell out first.
Is La SEN of the Bay worth it? Our 2026 verdict
La SEN of the Bay is a new 5-star cruise on Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay with 25 balcony suites. It is worth it if you want a brand-new ship with big cabins, a pool and a spa, and a less crowded route through Lan Ha Bay, without paying the price of the most expensive ships.
Good reasons to pick it
- From $356 per person for 3 days 2 nights, the same price all year.
- Every cabin is a 35 m² or larger suite with a balcony and a bathtub.
- Only 25 cabins on a 77-metre ship, with an infinity pool, spa, gym and sky bar.
- Family Suites for 3 and Connecting Suites for 4.
Worth knowing before you book
- Launched in 2026, so there are few guest reviews yet.
- You board and leave by tender at Tuan Chau, and the ship is back at 12:00, which is too late for a same-day afternoon activity in Ha Long.
- Only 2 Executive Suites with a jacuzzi.
- Supplements apply on 24 and 31 December, Tet and Vietnamese public holidays; we confirm them before you pay.
Best for: couples, families and anyone who wants a new luxury ship at a fair price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for planning a Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise with Ava Travel.
Halong Bay is approximately 160km east of Hanoi, usually about a 3 to 3.5-hour drive by expressway. Ava Travel can arrange shared shuttle or private transfer from Hanoi and confirm the exact pickup time before you book.
Lan Ha Bay is the southern extension of Halong Bay, near Cat Ba Island. It has similar limestone scenery but often feels quieter. Many premium cruises operate around Lan Ha Bay for a calmer overnight route.
A 2-day / 1-night cruise works well if your schedule is short and you want the classic overnight experience. A 3-day / 2-night cruise gives more time for kayaking, swimming, remote areas, and a slower pace.
The best months are usually October to April, when the weather is cooler and drier. Summer can still be beautiful, but rain and storm changes are more common, so Ava Travel checks weather and operator updates before departure.
Most overnight cruises include cabin accommodation, onboard meals, entrance fees for the scheduled route, and activities such as kayaking, cave visits, swimming, cooking class, or squid fishing. Drinks, spa, tips, and transfers depend on the cruise package and are confirmed before payment.
Send Ava Travel your travel date, group size, and cabin preference. We check live availability, confirm the best current price, explain inclusions, and help you complete secure checkout once everything is clear.
