Athena Royal Cruise

Bai Tu Long Bay – Vung Vieng Fishing Village – Thien Canh Son Cave

Halong Bay is one of the world’s natural wonders and is currently the top destination to visit in Vietnam. Once untouched for thousands of years, the UNESCO site is now more popular than ever.

Our route from Halong Bay to Bai Tu Long Bay offers the same breathtaking ocean scenery and legendary Karst rock formations without the same number of vessels or people. The stylish and world-class Athena Royal Cruise Halong Bay is less crowded both on the boat and in the water due to our unique and less-traveled route.

This Halong Bay cruise is state-of-the-art. The royal and luxurious design will make you feel like you have been invited aboard the pleasure cruise of a movie star. We have a top-notch wine list and offer a wide variety of liquors, beers, cocktails, coffee, tea, and fresh-made juice.

On the Athena Royal Cruise Halong Bay, you will receive VIP treatment in our luxurious accommodations while cruising through one of the most extraordinary landscapes Vietnam has to offer. The Athena Royal Cruise is a perfect choice for any special moment such as a honeymoon, anniversary, business meeting, company retreat, family outing, or romantic getaway. Let us make your dream trip a reality and give you the adventure you desire.
