Overview

The gorgeous Alisa Cruise fits Halong Bay in all the right ways. Its sweeping grace as it glides over the emerald water of the bay matches the prestige of the bay itself, twice UNESCO-designated and the site of one of the most attractive seascapes in the world. On board, the Alisa Cruise is one of Halong Bay’s deluxe offerings, providing comfortable means of passage through high-quality amenities and a staff that are in equal measure attentive and respectful of your privacy. Our philosophy on sustainable tourism sets us apart from other cruises, and we endeavour to do all we can to ensure that Halong Bay remains one of Vietnam’s verdant green wonderlands for some time yet to come.
