Tulip Cruise is a luxurious 5-star cruise ship and one of the finest options in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Launched in December 2025, the 43-cabin cruise features a modern design, high-end amenities, and exquisite dining options. It meets international safety and service standards, making it ideal for high-end travelers seeking comfort and quality.
The Tulip Cruise ship boasts six decks with a contemporary design, offering outstanding onboard facilities such as a year-round swimming pool, mini-golf course, fitness center, kids’ club, spa, sky bar, and two elevators. These features promise guests a truly relaxing and unforgettable experience while cruising through the stunning landscapes of the bay.
With 43 well-appointed cabins, Tulip Cruise ensures both comfort and flexibility. The smallest cabins start from 32m², while larger suites can reach up to 100m². Most rooms include private balconies with beautiful ocean views. Cabins can be arranged as double, twin, or triple rooms, and connecting rooms are also available—making the cruise a perfect choice for couples, families, or groups of friends and colleagues.
Tulip Halong Bay Cruise is more than just a typical sightseeing trip; it offers a refined and memorable travel experience that caters to a wide range of preferences and needs.

Another highlight is the flexible departure option from Cat Ba Island, offering an alternative to the usual departures from Hanoi or other ports in Ha Long Bay.

My family had 3 day 2 night on Tulip Lan Ha Bay Cruise. The cruise had very special itinerary – not like other cruises in Halong Bay. The itinerary of the cruise is in Lan Ha. We started from Hanoi Old Quarter with limousine pick-up at 08.20 AM and it is not too early. The Tulip Cruise is a brand-new cruise and it is a modern cruise. I chose Tulip cruise because it has very good price booking with Vietnam Escape Tours. Cabin of Tulip Cruise is luxury with private balcony. The cruise has mini golf course and very nice pool where we had a lot of photos. There are elevators on the cruise also so we could move around easily. The experience on the 3 day 2 night was great. We had nice time kayaking in the bay and swimming on the small beaches of the bay. Cat Ba visiting with a bicycle was amazing with our family members. The staffs on the cruise were very friendly and helpful especially Alex. He took care of all our family members (my mother and my kids) and other customers very well. Thanks to Vietnam Escape Tours for a good deal of Tulip Cruise. I recommend Tulip Cruise 3 Day 2 night for anyone who want to visit Lan Ha Bay. One good thing is Vietnam Escape Tours can arrange the pick-up from Tam Coc, Ninh Binh as they said so. So, if you wish to travel from Ninh Binh to Halong with a pick-up it is fine.

Thank you so much for organizing a great trip for us with Tulip Cruise recently in our trip to North Vietnam. We had 8 days in North Vietnam and decided to contacted Vietnam Escape Tours as they have good reviews. Vivian was our travel consultant and advised us to travel with Tulip Cruise because we stayed in Cat Ba Island before we start our trip with the cruise. Tulip Cruise is one of some cruises which can pick up from Cat Ba Island so it is very convenient for us. The cruise is a luxury indeed. It is a new cruise with swimming pool, modern facilities and our cabin was very large ( I remember the size is 45M2) and it had very large bathroom. The cabin was with shower and bathtub so it is very convenient for anyone. Staffs on the cruise were friendly and helpful. Next time I will visit Vietnam in 2027 and I will choose Tulip Cruise 3 Day 2 Night so we have more time for relaxing. This is one of the best cruises in Vietnam I think.

We booked Tulip Cruise Halong with Anna from Vietnam Escape Tours and we had a great 2-day 1-night trip on Tulip Cruise. Everything was well organized by Anna and the service was excellent. From the beginning of the trip, the pick-up was on time and we were informed about the pick-up time 1 day before you started our trip with Tulip Cruise. Driver was polite and sharing limousine to Halong Bay and back to Hanoi was very clean. Food on Tulip Cruise was excellent. I want to thank to Ashley, the butler who took care of us throughout the trip. She was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect.She was very attentive and friendly. She also shares a lot of stories about her life, local life and history of Halong with us. We truly appreciated Tulip Cruise team’s care and professionalism. Highly recommended this cruise and would love to come back again for 3 day 2 night. Itinerary of Tulip Cruise is in Lan Ha Bay but we still go through Halong Bay and see they are very similar in the scenery but Lan Ha Bay seems quieter. Thank Anna from Vietnam Escape Tours for booking Tulip Cruise for us.
