From the company offering some of the most esteemed cruising options in Halong Bay, Paradise Cruises introduces the Paradise Explorer Day Cruise– our well-organized venture into deluxe Halong Bay day trip. The lack of cabins onboard creates much more space for well-appointed public areas, such as a gorgeous restaurant, lounge and open sundeck.
Follow us through Halong Bay as we engage in three activities designed to get the most out of the UNESCO site in a short space of time. We arrive at Halong earlier and depart later than many other day cruises, giving you the chance to soak up more of the majesty throughout your once in a lifetime visit to the glistening pearl of Vietnam.
