Serenity Grandeur Day Cruise: Lan Ha Bay & Cat Ba

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommended! We had an amazing experience with Serenity Grand Cruise in Lan Ha Bay! A special shoutout to our tour guide, Tuna, who was always attentive, friendly, and informative throughout the entire trip. We truly appreciated how well he looked after everyone and made the tour even more enjoyable. The cruise itself was top-notch. Lan Ha Bay was absolutely stunning, and we loved that there were fewer tourists and a more peaceful atmosphere. The two swimming pools were a bonus, and the buffet was incredibly delicious, with so much variety to choose from. We also enjoyed the sunset party with canapés, which was such a lovely touch. There was so much included in the tour: bike riding or a fish spa in the village, kayaking, swimming, and plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful views. Everything was well organised and genuinely worth the travel and money. Overall, we had an amazing experience. If you’re visiting Lan Ha Bay, we highly recommend Serenity Grand Cruise!

The tour was very well organized with sufficient information being provided by our host Binh from time to time who is a great tour guide, an enthusiastic photographer and also pretty hilarious. The entire day was well planned and executed in a punctual manner. On the cruise, I loved the hospitality offered by staff, wide selection of food options, evening snacks and tea. Activities such as Kayaking, swimming, cycling etc also added to our pleasant experience.

Fantastic day cruise around Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba! Our guide Tuna was polite, and took excellent care of us throughout the day. The kayaking was excellent, the seafood lunch was fresh and delicious, the evening tea was nicely prepared and everything was clean and well organized. Beautiful views and great service from start to finish. 10/10 experience — highly recommend! 🌊🛶✨

this cruise was the highlight of my trip to Northern Vietnam! The boat is very new and beautiful. Tuna was my guide and he mentioned it only started operating in July 2025 - so less than a year. the food was delicious, and the views of Lan Ha Bay was simply breathtaking. The cruise also included a brief stop at. Viet Hai Village which was quaint and peaceful. We stayed an hour there and was able to ride the bicycle around the town. We also had free time to kayak and swim in the bay. There were water slides, a jacuzzi and a swimming pool too. Overall I was very satisfied with the cruise and would highly recommend!

Today we booked the Lan Ha Bay tour from Hanoi, and our guide was Binh. First, they texted us to remind us that they were going to give us two options because one of their boats was broken, and they gave us the choice to either cancel and be refunded or continue the trip on another boat. The other boat that they provided was really nice, as shown here in the photos. And Binh, our guide, was so much fun. He was very funny, he was very knowledgeable of the history of Vietnam, and especially in Cat Ba, and he ensured that we were safe and we enjoyed ourselves. We also had a good time in the itinerary. This is highly recommended. We are so glad that we chose Lan Ha Bay instead of Halong Bay because it was really peaceful and there were not much other tours and ships present. The whole team of Serenity even took note of small details such as placing a fan in front of us when we were feeling a little bit warm and Binh kindly offered to take pictures of us using his camera!

Thank you, serenity for providing us with a beautiful cruise and a great way to end our vacation in Vietnam. Our tour guide Tuna was especially helpful and easy to talk to since he spoke English. He is patient with the non English speakers and answered all our questions. We got to learn a little more about the beautiful country. We had a great time and was able to make new friends because of him.

Our guide, Ha, was very informative and friendly. We did all modes of transportation for this day tour. We rode a bus from Hanoi to Haiphong, and since it was low tide then, we got the chance to take the cable car going to Cat Ba Island. From Cat Ba Island, we rode another bus to the harbor. Then we rode a small boat from the harbor to take us to the cruise. The cruise was stunning and looks very brand new. Crew were very friendly. Cruising along Lan Ha Bay was breathtaking. Although the lunch was not buffet since we were only 35 pax, it was plated but still very good. After lunch, we rode the small boat again to take us to Viet Hai Village where we rode an electric car to take us to the village. We really enjoyed riding the bicycle within the village. It was so peaceful in the village. After that, we rode the small boat back to the cruise so start swimming/kayaking. Then we had afternoon tea with fruits and pastries. Great weather w/ sun but cool wind. Highly recommend doing this

We had a wonderful experience with the cruise. The staff were accommodating and friendly, esp Mr Binh, which made the experience even better. He made sure there was no tourists left behind every after transfer from one place to another. We did all the activities mentioned in the itinerary given (cycling, kayaking, swimming, sliding). The cruise was brand new, it had 2 pools, separate wash rooms & shower rooms for male and female (wherein u can shower after doing all the water activities ⭐️). The cruise is also equipped with CCTV’s so you don’t need to worry about your things getting lost. The lunch buffet had a lot options. The tour to Lan Ha Bay was peaceful and not too crowded. This tour is highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit Lan Ha Bay without feeling of getting rushed or too packed up with things to do.

Our guide haha have all information on every places we visited from the time, the drop-off points & more informative knowledge about the place we visited. The trip was very jampacked visiting all the itinerary on-time. thanks to our guide for taking good care of the group.

This was one of the best days of our trip, and I highly recommend it. Our guide, Binh, was very attentive. We didn't encounter another boat on the route, leading to a very tranquil experience. The boat itself was well-maintained, offering excellent amenities, including a fun slide and a delicious buffet. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming, cycling through the nearby village, and taking in the stunning views of the national park.
