Viola Cruises is proud to welcome you on-board one of its Luxury boats for your dreamlike Viola Cruise in Halong Bay!
The entire length of our country is next to the sea which feeds us, and on which many of us live and work. Much of our delicious, traditional cuisine is derived from the riches of the sea, and our love of family, friends, and gathering around a good meal shines through in the many tastes of Vietnamese cooking. The unique limestone islands found in Halong Bay, along with the mysterious, and beautiful caves scattered throughout, mirror the beauty, grace, and mystery of our homeland.
With this in mind, our three, newly-built wooden junks are designed in the time-honored traditional style, but with contemporary, deluxe cabins and facilities, including sea-view windows in each cabin, private, modern bathrooms, and a comfortable sun-deck bar. Our cooks will serve you the tastiest traditional Vietnamese foods, and our staff will help you learn about our current lives as well as our ancient history.
Visiting the most famous Vietnamese World Heritage Site with Viola Cruises is bound to be one of the highlights of your travels in Vietnam, thanks to the high quality of our facilities and accommodations, and the excellence of our care customer service.
