Dolphin Halong Cruise is a floating entertainment complex and Vietnam's most spectacular day cruise experience in Halong Bay. Described as a 6-star vessel, it accommodates up to 600 guests across a 700 sqm grand restaurant, a 268 sqm all-season pool, a 25 sqm jacuzzi, and an 88 sqm dome stage with live performances – all while cruising past the iconic limestone karst islands.
The day itinerary visits three of Halong Bay's signature attractions: Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave) – the largest grotto in the bay – Luon Cave explored by kayak or bamboo boat, and Titop Island with its 420-step climb to a panoramic summit and a beach at the base. A sunset canaé party with live music closes the day before returning to port.
16 luxury bungalows on the upper and sun decks are available for private hire. Optional kayaking and bamboo boat rides are available onboard at an extra charge.
