As Ha Long Bay becomes more crowded with tourists and caves filled to the brim, leaving little room to walk, and the main route congested with cruises and boats, the experience can become overwhelming and less inspiring. Recognizing the need to provide a fresh perspective on this iconic destination, while still fulfilling the desire to explore and admire one of the world’s natural wonders, the Vega Legend Cruise was created.

Guests will have the opportunity to explore and admire Ha Long Bay from a unique viewpoint — the quieter, hidden side of the bay, where tourist boats are seldom seen. With this tour itinerary, it is believed that customers who prefer less crowded attractions and have a passion for discovery will be satisfied.

Embarking on a unique journey from Tuan Chau, the cruise quietly departs from the bustling heart of Ha Long Bay, passing through Cua Van — the junction between Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay.
