The Cruise

2 Days / 1 Night aboard the Halora Nova Cruise.

Launched in 2026, the Halora Nova is a graceful 5-star boutique cruise of 40 cabins (each from 35m²), finished in modern Indochine elegance with a private sea-view balcony and an ocean-view bathtub in every room. It sails deeper into the quieter, less-crowded Lan Ha Bay, an area of crystal-clear water and calm lagoons, taking in the serene Ao Ech (Frog Pond) and Tra Bau areas and the enchanting Dark & Bright Cave. With a swimming pool at the bow, a spa and a wide sundeck, plus kayaking, sunrise meditation, a tea-mixing or traditional To He handicraft workshop, a sunset canapé party and night squid fishing, it's a romantic, restful way to experience the bay.
