Welcome to Mila Cruise Halong Bay. Mila Cruise Halong Bay is a deluxe cruise in Halong Bay offering exceptional service, with well-trained and friendly staff ready to make your journey unforgettable.
The cruise measures 47 meters in length and 11 meters in width, featuring elegantly designed Indochine-style cabins. Built in 2013 and newly renovated in 2024, the cruise now proudly operates under the name Mila Cruise.
Mila Cruise is a modern metal boat with 22 spacious, professionally designed cabins. Each cabin is fully equipped with air-conditioning and a full range of amenities. Large windows in every cabin offer stunning views of Halong Bay, enhancing your onboard experience.
The cruise has three decks:

My children and my family enjoyed the trip so much not because of the good cruise and cabin but because the service on the cruise. All food, itinerary and people on Mila Cruise were very good especially the cruise manager help us a lot when we had chilren. He took cared my chilren all moment so we had more time for enjoying swimming, kayaking. Late afernoon, we could enjoy the sunset on cruise and it was incredible in a sunny day.
