What people love about Sailing Tours in Vietnam
- All Included Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night On 3-Star Cruise
What a fantastic trip. Just 22 on the boat was a good group size. We left the harbor last after lunch so the cruise out was peaceful with only a few boats. Likewise we left early in the morning and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Amazing food, you won’t go hungry. Lots of included activities, I enjoyed the kayaking best. Guide gave us the hard sell for tips at the end.
- Hanoi - Halong Bay 02 Days overnight on Cruise
Great organization, nice tour guides and a lot of fun and tasty food:)
- Halong - Lan Ha Bay 3 Day 2 Night 5-Star Cruise & Private Balcony Cabin
Very nice boat trip. The rooms with balcony and bathtub are great. The food was also very good. In our opinion, the several courses could have been a little more Vietnamese. The day trips were cool too. The only thing that urgently needs to be addressed there would be the amount of rubbish in the water, although the cruiser doesn't have much influence here, rather the government would have to change something. Would book again immediately!
What our customers ask about Sailing Tours & Trips in Vietnam
What are the best times of year to take a sailing trip in Vietnam?
Vietnam's sailing conditions peak at different times across its regions. The northern waters of Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay are at their finest from September through November with clear visibility and gentle seas. Previous travelers on the Doris Cruise often point to October as the sweet spot for Halong Bay excursions. The southern waters near Phu Quoc Island are best explored from December to April when winds are reliable and rain is scarce. Many guests at locations like the Victoria Resort in Phu Quoc plan their sailing activities during these months.
What type of boats and cabin accommodations are available on Vietnam sailing tours?
The Vietnamese waters host vessels ranging from classic wooden junks to contemporary luxury ships. Higher-end options like the Capella Cruise provide rooms with private balconies and bathtubs while the Doris Cruise stands out as the first vessel to feature an onboard pool in Halong Bay. Standard rooms come equipped with modern comforts: air conditioning private bathrooms and sea views. A recent guest aboard the Erina Cruise shared: "Everything was well organized with very friendly crew and excellent accommodations - the cabins were spacious and comfortable with stunning bay views."
What are the must-see destinations on a Vietnam sailing tour?
The sailing route centers on Halong Bay a UNESCO site dotted with 1969 limestone formations. Nearby Lan Ha Bay offers quieter waters and access to Cat Ba National Park while Bai Tu Long Bay remains largely untouched. Key stops include the expansive Sung Sot Cave Ti Top Island's viewpoints and the Tra Bau area known from "Kong: Skull Island." Travelers frequently mention the Dark & Bright Cave system noting its "unique geological formations and peaceful atmosphere."
What kind of meals are served on Vietnam sailing tours?
Onboard dining blends Vietnamese specialties with international dishes putting local seafood front and center. Most vessels serve three daily meals and include cooking classes where guests learn to make classics like spring rolls. The Capella Cruise's Harmony of the Sea Restaurant specializes in upscale fusion while the Doris Cruise puts emphasis on seafood-focused dinners. As one guest observed: "The food quality exceeded expectations with amazing fresh seafood and beautiful presentation."
Are Vietnam sailing tours suitable for families with children?
Family groups find welcome spots on many Vietnamese sailing tours though age policies differ between companies. The Doris Cruise welcomes toddlers from age one while Bamba Travel sets their minimum at ten years. Family-focused vessels like the Capella Cruise offer practical touches like adjoining rooms and kid-friendly activities. One family's review noted: "The crew was great with our kids offering modified activities and special meal options. The Erina Cruise had perfect safety measures in place for families."
