This November marks an exciting milestone for luxury cruising in Halong Bay with the grand launch of Diana Cruise, operated by the same expert team behind Venus Cruise. For the last two months of the year, the first guests will enjoy special promotional fares and exclusive experiences. Let’s check out what’s in store.
A New Star on the Bay
Diana Cruise, a premium new offering from the Venus Cruise team, officially opens its voyage in November 2025, bringing with it elevated service, refined design, and well-crafted itineraries.
While leveraging the same experienced management and service philosophy as Venus Cruise, Diana Cruise sets its own identity: ultra-luxury suites, panoramic decks, signature dining, and itineraries that weave between Halong’s famed limestone karsts and the quieter, emerald arms of Lan Ha Bay. The brand highlights its 5-star credentials with features such as private balcony suites, a four-season pool, sky bars, spa facilities, and wellness amenities.
Itineraries that Enchant
The 2-day, 1-night classic itinerary departs from Hanoi (via limousine transfer), cruises through Halong’s iconic islets, then crosses into Lan Ha Bay for kayaking, cave exploration, beach time, and a cooking class on board.
The 3-day circuit will explore Viet Hai village on Cat Ba Island and traipse through hidden corners of Lan Ha.
Onboard, guests can unwind with Tai Chi at sunrise, enjoy sunset cocktails on the sundeck, savor Vietnamese and fusion gastronomy, or take part in nighttime activities such as squid fishing or karaoke.
These carefully curated experiences aim to balance exploration and repose, setting Diana Cruise apart as a bookable "destination" in itself.
Grand Opening Program & Special Offers
Between 20 November and 28 December 2025, Diana Cruise will roll out a special launch promotion with a grand-opening discount to attract both domestic and international travelers. Added perks during the launch may include complimentary kayaking, free access to the onboard jacuzzi or pool, or special event setups for celebrations.
What Travelers Should Know
- Booking early is advised. The opening period’s special fares will likely sell out, especially for premium cabins or suites.
- Departure is via Tuan Chau Marina (Halong), with optional limousine transfers from Hanoi for ease.
- Late November through December is typically cooler and drier, ideal for cruising, though sea conditions should be monitored.
- Many travelers will pair the cruise with hotel nights in Hanoi or Halong to round out the journey.
The debut of Diana Cruise brings something fresh and alluring to attract both seasoned cruise-goers and first-time visitors seeking next-level experiences in Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. With the grand-opening promotions, the Diana beckons as a standout option for those with a penchant for scenic wonder and elegant voyages in late-2025.
