Swan Cruise is a well-regarded steel vessel launched in 2018, offering 18 sea-view cabins designed with traditional Vietnamese cultural elements – bamboo accents, local materials, and warm earthy tones throughout. With 141 excellent reviews and a 9.7 rating, it consistently ranks as a top choice for Bai Tu Long Bay.
The ship departs from Halong International Port and boards at the Swan office on site. Activities focus on the quieter, less-visited stretches of Bai Tu Long Bay: Cap La Island for kayaking and swimming on Day 1, and Thien Canh Son Cave plus Vung Vieng Fishing Village across a full Day 2 on the 3-night program.
Facilities include Wi-Fi, a restaurant, bar, and full-board meals throughout. A cooking demonstration on the final morning is a highlight before disembarkation.
