Aqua Lux Lan Ha Bay Cruise

Aqua Lux Lan Ha Bay Cruise is a 5-star boat on Tuan Chau Island in Ha Long Bay, 7.2 km from the centre of Ha Long city, with rooms of 38 to 55 m² that each have a balcony or terrace. It suits travellers who want to sleep on the water among the limestone islands without giving up hotel comforts. Every room has air conditioning, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV, and the walls are soundproofed.

The rooms come in three types: the Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Balcony, the Junior Suite with Balcony and the King Suite with Balcony. The King Suite is the largest and suits couples who want a separate bedroom and executive lounge access. On board there are an outdoor swimming pool, a bar and a restaurant that serves breakfast as a buffet or à la carte, with Asian options, while the 24-hour front desk keeps the boat staffed at all hours.

Guests can go kayaking or join a cooking class, and Bai Tu Long Bay is one of the nearby attractions.

Aqua Lux Lan Ha Bay Cruise is based at Tuan Chau International Marina, on Tuan Chau Island, which is joined to the mainland by a causeway. The island has the harbour where most day and overnight cruises leave for Ha Long Bay, so the surroundings are a working marina and its quays rather than a town street. Visitors heading out on the bay pass through here, and the boat's position at the marina puts it close to that activity. Tuần Châu Ferry Terminal is 650 m away and Tuan Chau Park 600 m, both a short walk from the boat.

Tuan Chau Beach is 250 m away, and the Chill Beach Bar sits 750 m away on the shore. Bai Chay Bus Terminal is 6.1 km away, so a taxi is the simplest way to reach the marina from there. Cat Bi International Airport is 28.4 km away, and the car ferry to Cat Ba island also leaves from Tuan Chau, taking about 45 to 50 minutes to reach Gia Luan.

Thien Cung Cave is a limestone cave with lit chambers, reached by road and 3 km away, and Dinh Huong Islet lies 3.6 km away in the bay, one of the limestone islets that cruises pass on their way. The cable car station Ga Đại Dương, 7.2 km away, is the starting point for the ride to the Sun World park. For a meal off the boat, the restaurant 1958 is 150 m away. Kayaking and cooking classes are offered on board, and Bai Tu Long Bay, north-east of Ha Long Bay, is one of the places the cruise can take you.
