About this experience
We draw inspiration from the sounds created by the wind and waves. The wind produces music as it brushes against rocks and trees, while waves crash onto mountains and the hulls of boats, creating their own melodies. Our desire is to capture this symphony and preserve it as an important part of our heritage. And so, our dream has come true. Our brainchild has been brought to life, and we have named it simply Halong Symphony Cruise. The Halong Symphony Cruise is a modern steel cruise ship launched in 2024. Our design is combination between modern style of cruise' s body and tradition of wooden furniture. The facilities include restaurant with stage and large led screen tv, bar- sky bar- lounge, 2 sundeck with sunbeds and jaccuzi. The cruise is a great option to have unforgetable memories in Halong Bay
