Nostalgia Cruise is a royal-inspired boutique vessel operating between Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. Launched in February 2023, it carries only 10 suites across Princess, Queen and King categories, and every suite has a private balcony and ensuite bathroom. The small capacity suits couples, honeymooners and families who value a quieter onboard atmosphere. Travellers comparing similar routes can browse our Lan Ha Bay cruises and family cruises.
Guests check in at Lot 33, Tuan Chau Harbour, Halong City, then transfer by speedboat to the main vessel. The 2-day itinerary combines kayaking at Ao Ech, an overnight anchorage around Tra Bau and a visit to Trung Trang Cave on Cat Ba Island. The 3-day itinerary adds Viet Hai Village and the Dark & Bright Cave area, giving travellers more time to explore Lan Ha Bay beyond the overnight route.
Princess Suites are on the first deck, Queen Suites are on the second deck and the single King Suite occupies the highest accommodation level. Connecting Princess and Queen arrangements can be requested for families, subject to availability. Onboard experiences include Vietnamese and Hue-inspired dining, a cooking demonstration, Tai Chi, squid fishing, a sundeck bar and a heated outdoor jacuzzi. Spa and massage treatments cost extra.
Road transfer between Hanoi and Tuan Chau is not included unless it appears in the written quotation. Sailing times and outdoor activities may change with weather, tide and port instructions. Review our wider Halong Bay tours, then check room rates or chat with us on WhatsApp for the best available suite and a written quotation.
Nostalgia operates with only 10 physical suites: 5 Princess Suites of 28 m², 4 Queen Suites of 30 m² and 1 King Suite of 35 m². Princess and Queen cabins can form connecting family configurations without increasing the vessel’s physical cabin count. All suites have private balconies and ensuite bathrooms.
The current 2-day route combines kayaking at Ao Ech, an overnight anchorage around Tra Bau and a visit to Trung Trang Cave on Cat Ba Island. The 3-day route adds cycling or an optional electric-car experience at Viet Hai Village and a bamboo-boat or kayak visit around the Dark & Bright Cave area.
Guests can enjoy Hue- and Vietnamese-inspired cuisine, a cooking demonstration, Tai Chi, squid fishing, a sundeck lounge bar and a heated outdoor jacuzzi. Spa and massage treatments are available at additional cost and should be booked onboard.
Check-in is at the Nostalgia waiting lounge at Lot 33, Tuan Chau Harbour, Halong City. Guests then transfer by speedboat to the main vessel. The final meeting time and lounge instructions are supplied with the booking confirmation.
