About Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise & Lan Ha Bay

Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise — Premium Lan Ha Bay Voyage

Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise offers a refined, immersive journey through Lan Ha Bay — the stunning emerald seascape south of Halong Bay. From the moment you step into the private lounge at Tuan Chau Marina until your final brunch on the return voyage, Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise combines premium facilities — including a 4-season swimming pool — with thoughtfully designed experiences that bring you close to the bay’s natural beauty and local culture. Every detail, from the fresh fusion cuisine to the sunset parties on the open deck, is crafted to make your stay onboard feel as special as the destination itself.

Lan Ha Bay — Emerald Waters & Limestone Peaks

Lan Ha Bay stretches south of Halong Bay, wrapping around Cat Ba Island’s eastern shore. More than 400 limestone islets rise from crystal-clear green water, forming sheltered coves, hidden lagoons, and quiet channels far less crowded than the routes further north. Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise sails deep into these calm waters, where you can swim in pristine bays, glide silently by kayak, and watch the sunset paint the sky gold without the noise and crowds found elsewhere. This is Lan Ha Bay at its most peaceful — and Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise brings you right into its heart.

Ba Trai Dao Islets — Three Graces of the Bay

Ba Trai Dao, meaning “Three Peaches,” is the first highlight of your voyage with Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise — three graceful islets rising from turquoise water, each topped with lush green forest. The name comes from their round, fruit-like shape, said to be gifts from heaven. Here you drop anchor and slip into the cool, clear water for a refreshing swim before continuing to Tra Bau floating house or Ba Dinh area. Kayak through winding channels where towering karst walls rise around you — every turn reveals another quiet beach or hidden cove accessible only from the water.

Viet Hai Village — Timeless Life in the Forest

On the extended itinerary, Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise takes you further still — to Viet Hai Village, a secluded community nestled deep within Cat Ba National Park. Accessible only by boat, this peaceful settlement feels like a world apart. Ride a bicycle along paths that wind through primeval forest and vast rice fields, past traditional homes built from natural materials that have stood for generations. Meet families whose lives follow the gentle rhythm of the seasons — fishing, farming, and welcoming visitors with genuine warmth. Viet Hai is not just a place to visit; it is a window into a simpler, slower way of life that has endured for centuries.

Dark and Bright Caves — Light and Silence

Dark and Bright Caves are a natural wonder unlike any other — a low limestone tunnel that opens into a hidden circular lagoon completely ringed by forested cliffs. Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise takes you there aboard a traditional rowing boat, guided by a local rower who knows these waters intimately. As you glide beneath the rock arch, the light softens and the world falls quiet — until you emerge into the hidden lagoon, where sunlight filters through the trees and reflects off the emerald surface. It is a moment of pure magic, and one you will remember long after your journey ends.

Evenings Under the Stars

As day turns to night, Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise becomes your peaceful sanctuary on the water. The sunset party brings guests together on the open deck — sharing drinks, fresh fruits, and homemade cakes as the sky turns pink and orange. Dinner follows — a carefully prepared fusion feast featuring the day’s freshest catch. Afterwards, you may try your hand at squid fishing, relax on the sundeck beneath a sky brilliant with stars, or simply unwind in the warm, inviting atmosphere onboard. These quiet, shared moments are often the most cherished — and they are all part of your time with Genesis Luxury Regal Cruise.
