The Cruise

2 Days / 1 Night aboard the Venus Cruise.

Evolved from the well-regarded Era Cruise and relaunched as a 5-star vessel in 2023, the Venus is a luxurious cruise of 29 spacious cabins, the smallest a generous 40m², every room with a private balcony and floor-to-ceiling glass, and a lift serving the main decks. Its route sails deep into the quieter Lan Ha Bay, taking in the Dark & Bright Cave by sampan and the tranquil Tra Bau area for kayaking and swimming. With a mini pool, a spa and a panoramic sky bar, plus distinctive Vietnamese folk-culture activities, Dong Ho painting, To He figurine-making and conical-hat decorating, a sunset party and Tai Chi, it's a refined and characterful stay.
