This is my shortlist of overnight cruises, the only way to catch Ha Long Bay quiet after the day boats head in. Around 1,600 limestone islands stand in these waters, and evenings at anchor among them are the whole point. One night suits most trips; two nights reaches the far, empty corners.
Discover the highlights of all-inclusive overnight Halong cruises, from stunning caves to delicious food, with options suited for every traveler in Vietnam.
