With a strong local flavour, the Garden Bay Luxury Cruise proudly sails through emerald waters, giving its passengers a superb experience aboard one of the best of Bai Tu Long Bay’s deluxe cruises. To create the most authentic cruising possible, the Garden Bay Luxury Cruise is decked in both pale and burnished wood, bestowing a powerful oriental aesthetic to each cabin and the 4-star facilities that we can boast.
Our route through Bai Tu Long Bay puts us out of the radar of most other tourist boats, giving our small number of passengers across 11 cabins a more refined experience and one that evokes the feeling of discovery felt by the initial voyages through the bay. Through a great mixture of activities and relaxation time, we treat you to the same hospitality that the bay shows us on a daily basis.
