Velar of the Seas Cruise offers a 5-star luxury voyage through Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and the waters around Cat Ba Island. Three cabin types – Senior, Executive, and Premier – each with private balconies and range in size from 40 to 60 sqm, providing generous space and panoramic ocean views.
Day 1 highlights the dramatic Bright Cave (tunnel cave), explored by traditional bamboo boat – one of the most unique cave experiences in the bay. A floating fish farm visit at Tra Bau and a Sky Bar sunset party follow. The cooking demonstration, karaoke, and squid fishing give evenings onboard a lively atmosphere.
The 3-day itinerary adds a full day at Viet Hai Village on Cat Ba Island with a bike ride through rainforest paths, and an afternoon at Ba Trai Dao beach before returning to the ship.
