About Nostalgia Cruise
Set sail in early February 2023, Nostalgia promises a deluxe cruising experience with top-notch service. With only 10 cabins, the cruise pays much attention to details not only of the interior and exterior but also of the service quality.
There are 4 room categories spreading out on 2 decks. All are well-equipped with an air-conditioned, mini bar, ocean-view bathtub and amenities, and a balcony with a table and chair. What could be better than taking a favorite cocktail or glass of wine and enjoying the spectacular view with your loved one from your private balcony?
The ship includes a spacious restaurant where you can savor a bunch of featured dishes coming from Vietnam or Western nations. On the same deck, you are invited to dip into the cool water of the swimming pool and feast your eyes with second-to-none scenery.
Sundeck is the best place to kick back and watch the dawn and dusk while the ship cruises through thousands of limestone karst. That is not to mention the serene atmosphere at night and in the early morning with the soothing Taichi session.
Nostalgia Cruise brings you from Halong bay to Lan Ha Bay - from the renowned heritage site to the "forgotten heaven" with magnificent mountains. With 2 days 1 night and 3 days 2 nights itinerary, visitors are ensured to visit the most highlighted spots of the bay and participate in no shortage of leisure and recreation activities.

The trip was smooth and very interesting. Me and my husband were blown away by the stunning view of the bay. There were plenty of activities and we never felt bored during the tour. Even sitting on the balcony and watching the bay was fabulous. The staff and service were more than expected. A special thanks to Martin who was so caring and attentive.

What an amazing trip! The staff were all so friendly and the food was delicious. The beds were really comfy, and our rooms were huge. On day 1, we went kayaking through the bay and spent the afternoon in the hot tub with so delicious cocktails ! We got up early on day 2 for tai chi, visited Trung Trang Cave on Cat Ba Island, all were unique. The staff were so helpful the whole time, especially our guide and our waiter, John. Highly recommend!

Dear Margaret SELIANAKIS, For your information, a doctor is unfortunately not available on Nostalgia Cruise. Most cruises do not have a doctor permanently stationed onboard. However, the cruise team is equipped to provide basic first aid and initial medical assistance in case of common situations. In the event of a medical issue that cannot be handled onboard, the cruise team will arrange to bring the guest back to the mainland and assist with transportation to the appropriate medical facility or hospital if needed. Warm regards, Phoebe
