The Cruise

3 Days / 2 Nights aboard the Swan Cruise.

The three-day Swan itinerary takes a relaxed pace deep into Bai Tu Long Bay, off the beaten track and far from the crowds, with no switching boats, so you keep the same cosy wooden cruise throughout. Beyond Cap La Island and the Thien Canh Son Cave, you'll visit local fishing villages and join an eco-tour at Doan Xa village, with a bike trip and an insight into rice cultivation and everyday local life. With kayaking, swimming, cooking demonstrations and quiet nights on the bay, it's the most immersive way to experience this boutique cruise.
