About Nostalgia Cruise
Set sail in early February 2023, Nostalgia promises a deluxe cruising experience with top-notch service. With only 10 cabins, the cruise pays much attention to details not only of the interior and exterior but also of the service quality.
There are 4 room categories spreading out on 2 decks. All are well-equipped with an air-conditioned, mini bar, ocean-view bathtub and amenities, and a balcony with a table and chair. What could be better than taking a favorite cocktail or glass of wine and enjoying the spectacular view with your loved one from your private balcony?
The ship includes a spacious restaurant where you can savor a bunch of featured dishes coming from Vietnam or Western nations. On the same deck, you are invited to dip into the cool water of the swimming pool and feast your eyes with second-to-none scenery.
Sundeck is the best place to kick back and watch the dawn and dusk while the ship cruises through thousands of limestone karst. That is not to mention the serene atmosphere at night and in the early morning with the soothing Taichi session.
Nostalgia Cruise brings you from Halong bay to Lan Ha Bay - from the renowned heritage site to the "forgotten heaven" with magnificent mountains. With 2 days 1 night and 3 days 2 nights itinerary, visitors are ensured to visit the most highlighted spots of the bay and participate in no shortage of leisure and recreation activities.

- Higher privacy and more personalized service
- 10 royal cabins & suites

My boyfriend and I booked a King suite with a spacious terrace. Our cabin is first-class with all needed amenities. The bathroom is super clean. The jacuzzi pool is best for some dips while sipping some cocktails. We went cycling in Viet Hai village which was very interesting. Kayaking was fun too. Highly recommend Nostalgia to everyone.Cruise quality 10 Food/Drink 10 Cabin quality 10 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 10 -

We went on the ship for 1 night. It was a bit short but we did enjoy everything. Meals were fancy and our cabin was well-furnished. The trip to the cave and kayaking was exciting. We wish we had booked 2 nights.Cruise quality 10 Food/Drink 10 Cabin quality 10 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 10 -
