About Leona Cruise
Leona Cruise represents the modern standard of luxury overnight yachting across Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. Built with a sleek steel hull and adorned with contemporary neoclassical interiors, this 5-star vessel accommodates a limited number of private suites, ensuring an intimate and highly personalized heritage escape away from the crowded commercial tourist paths.
Every suite onboard Leona Cruise is a spacious ocean-front sanctuary, beautifully appointed with floor-to-ceiling windows, a private standing balcony, plush bedding, and an elegant en-suite bathroom equipped with a sea-view bathtub. Guests can also enjoy elite public amenities including a gorgeous outdoor swimming pool, a panoramic fine-dining restaurant, and a breezy sky bar lounge.
The cruise operates a highly-curated itinerary focusing on the wild, untouched nature of the bay. Whether you are paddling a kayak around the tranquil waters of Tra Bau lagoon, exploring the mystical Dark & Bright Cave on a traditional bamboo boat, or bicycling through the ancient paths of Viet Hai Village, your journey is perfectly matched by premium fusion gastronomy and sunrise Tai Chi.
