Northern Vietnam’s cruise tourism is experiencing a wave of international recognition, with Halong Bay and Ninh Binh emerging as standout destinations for scenic exploration. As global interest in slow travel and nature-based experiences grows, Vietnam’s cruise products have become increasingly sought-after by European and American travelers.
Halong Bay continues to dominate with its fleet of luxury, midscale, and boutique overnight cruises, while Ninh Binh’s river routes are gaining momentum through day cruises and photography tours. Search demand for Ninh Binh has risen sharply, highlighting shifting traveler interests toward inland scenic destinations.
Cruise bookings in the region have grown over 28% YoY, supported by improved port infrastructure and better road connections from Hanoi. Parallel to this, boutique cruise operators are elevating the guest experience with personalized services, sustainable operations, and curated cultural activities onboard.
As Vietnam continues investing in the northern tourism corridor, cruise tourism is expected to remain a leading draw for high-value travelers. This sector will contribute substantially to regional tourism revenue and enhance Vietnam’s reputation for delivering immersive, nature-focused experiences.
