In recent years, the tourism flow in the Northern region has witnessed an exciting “migration” as sophisticated tourists gradually look away from bustling waters to find the pristine tranquility of Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba archipelago.. No longer just hasty trips following the beaten path, the current trend calls for profound experiential journeys, where wild nature and classy comfort are blended into one to create truly valuable memories.. In the midst of that wave of innovation, the Aspira cruise ship officially launched in 2020 as an affirmation of contemporary luxury resort style.. Shedding the limitations of traditional wooden ships, Aspira boasts a solid steel hull structure with a state-of-the-art double hull and double bottom design, which not only brings absolute peace of mind but also redefines the standard of an aesthetically pleasing living space in the heart of heritage..

With a safety management system that meets international standards, your every moment will be a perfect symphony of peace, relaxation and ultimate enjoyment..
Aspira Cruise is designed based on strict technical standards with a specialized steel hull structure in the form of double hull/double bottom, providing stability and ensuring maximum safety for tourists during the journey to explore the bay.. The ship possesses impressive technical specifications with an overall length of 65m, width of 12.9m and height of up to 15m.. The entire infrastructure is intelligently distributed across 4 main functional floors, helping to optimize space usage and create the necessary isolation between service areas.. The yacht’s operating power comes from a modern machinery system, including 02 Caterpillar engines with a powerful capacity of 498 HP for each engine, ensuring the ship always operates smoothly and stably.. Comes with a system of 03 Yanmar generators with a capacity of 185 KVA each, providing abundant and continuous energy for all activities on the ship.. With this technical scale, Aspira Cruise provides a total of 22 luxurious rooms, ready to serve up to 62 passengers at the same time while still ensuring a private and classy vacation experience..
The accommodation system on Aspira Cruise is designed with the philosophy of providing maximum privacy and sophistication in every detail, turning each cabin into a peaceful “oasis” in the heart of magnificent heritage. On the first floor, visitors will find 10 Junior Suite cabins, providing a cozy resting space with a separate balcony, helping you enjoy direct views of the sea right from the bedroom. Up to the 2nd floor, the experience is enhanced with 08 Senior Suite cabins with higher positions, opening up a more comprehensive and airy view of the green bay space while still ensuring absolute relaxation with a separate balcony system. In particular, the most classy highlight of Aspira Cruise lies in the upper class rooms located on the 2nd floor. With 02 Executive Suite cabins, guests can enjoy the privilege of a large open private sun terrace instead of the usual balcony, providing a generous outdoor relaxation space. The pinnacle of luxury is the 02 President Suite rooms located at a prime location on the bow of the ship. This “Presidential” room class not only possesses a very large private terrace but also makes a strong impression with a 180-degree arched glass door system, opening up a Panorama view embracing the beauty of Lan Ha Bay, completely redefining the concept of an upscale and unique resort on the sea.
In addition to the sophisticated room system, Aspira Cruise also opens up a world of amenities and top-notch entertainment services, designed to bring absolute satisfaction to all senses of visitors.. On the 3rd floor, the restaurant area combined with the Panoramic bar is a unique culinary space, where diners can enjoy unique Asian-European Fusion parties, while panoramic views of the magnificent beauty of the bay.. Up to the 4th floor, the large Sundeck area and Sunset Bar become the ideal place to relax, where visitors can sip exquisite cocktails while admiring the magical moment of sunset falling over the sea.. The iconic highlight for outdoor relaxation on the yacht is the Jacuzzi located right on the rooftop.. This is not only an ideal space to soak and regenerate energy amidst pure nature, but also a place that brings refreshment and impressive check-in moments.. At the same time, health care services are also invested in with a modern gym on the 3rd floor, helping visitors maintain a regular exercise schedule even while on vacation.. If you want to seek deeper relaxation, the professional Massage & Spa service on the 1st floor will be ready to serve with intensive treatments, helping to awaken all senses and dispel fatigue..

This space has a high-class atmosphere, is both private and luxurious, and is a great place for visitors to explore the flavors of selected wines and enjoy moments of profound silence.. The perfect combination of functional areas from the basement to the rooftop has turned Aspira Cruise into a truly artistic living space at sea..
The journey to discover taste buds on the Aspira cruise ship begins with a diverse international buffet lunch, served as soon as the ship begins to move into the heart of Lan Ha Bay. Guests will enjoy fresh and meticulously prepared seafood dishes such as grilled shrimp skewers with salt and chili, grilled oysters with onion fat or stir-fried squid with green pepper and vegetables. The richness of the buffet counter from appetizers, salads to hot dishes not only satisfies diverse tastes but also brings full energy for the first exploration activities on the bay. When the bay space transforms into the magical beauty of the night, dinner will be served in the form of a premium Set Menu at the restaurant, imbued with a sophisticated Fusion style. This is a skillful combination of Western culinary quintessence and Asian flavors, featuring main dishes such as pan-fried Australian beef with black pepper sauce served with potatoes and vegetables, or grilled sea bass mixed with a light orange sauce. The dinner party ends with French-style desserts such as brown sugar pearl flan and fresh seasonal fruits, providing a classy culinary experience amidst a calm sea and sky space. For travelers with dietary or macrobiotic needs, Aspira Cruise offers a tailor-made vegetarian menu with frugal but still sophisticated dishes. Diners can choose from dishes such as Vietnamese-style tofu with tomato sauce, spaghetti stir-fried with colorful vegetables or beautifully presented mixed vegetarian sushi. The thoughtful preparation of these special diets affirms the philosophy of personalized service, ensuring that every guest gets maximum satisfaction during their vacation journey. A culinary entertainment activity not to be missed every afternoon is the cooking class taking place right on the deck. Under the guidance of a team of chefs, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the process of making traditional spring rolls – a symbol of Vietnamese culinary culture. This is not only an opportunity to discover the secret to creating the unique flavors of local dishes, but also a time for interesting exchanges, connecting visitors in a cozy atmosphere before dinner.
Aspira Cruise’s schedule is designed to be streamlined but still captures the essence of Lan Ha Bay. With a 2 day 1 night journey, visitors will explore Bright Cave – Dark Cave, one of the cave systems containing the most pristine beauty in the bay. Here, you can freely choose between kayaking to directly touch the cool water or sitting on a bamboo boat rowed by local people to leisurely admire the magical stalactites. The journey continues with kayaking activities in the Tra Bau area, a quiet and clear water area, providing an absolutely relaxing space amidst the vast sky and sea. If you want to have a deeper look at the cultural life and natural beauty of Cat Ba Island, a 3-day, 2-night itinerary is the perfect choice. On the second day of the trip, visitors will visit Viet Hai ancient village – a small village located in the middle of the valley of Cat Ba National Park. The experience of cycling or using an electric vehicle through the trails amidst the vast green forest will bring an incredible feeling of peace. The journey also takes you to Ba Trai Dao beach, famous for its small, fine sand beaches hidden by the tide and clear water, extremely suitable for private swimming and relaxation activities. When night falls, the atmosphere on the cruise becomes more vibrant with diverse entertainment activities. Those who love tranquility can try their luck with the night squid fishing experience right on the ship’s side under the guidance of experienced sailors. For groups of friends or families who want to bond, the modern Karaoke room is always ready to serve inspiring music parties. In particular, the Happy Hour program with the “buy 2 get 1 free” promotion at the bar is a great opportunity for visitors to enjoy exquisite cocktails, chat with new friends and admire the mysterious beauty of Lan Ha Bay at night.

6. General Regulations and Important Notes
This is the worry of many guests. However, you can rest assured because Aspira is a modern double bottom steel hull yacht with a large size (nearly 13m wide), helping the ship operate extremely stably. Furthermore, the ship's route lies entirely within Lan Ha Bay - an area surrounded by limestone islands, so the water surface is very calm, with few big waves. The feeling of shaking is almost zero, especially when the ship is anchored for the night.
Although Aspira is equipped with a free Wi-Fi system, you need to note that when the ship moves deep into the core of the bay, the signal may flicker or lose signal in some areas obscured by rocky mountains. This is a common characteristic of ships in the bay. I recommend that you complete important tasks before the train departs to fully enjoy your vacation.
To have a perfect trip, you should bring:
Walking shoes or sports shoes: Essential for cycling activities at Viet Hai Village or walking to visit caves.
Swimwear: To enjoy the Jacuzzi infinity pool on the rooftop.
Formal/nice attire: For Fine Dining or a sunset party on the Sundeck.
Sunscreen and insect spray: Especially necessary when you participate in outdoor activities or go to the island.
Aspira is very passionate about creating surprises for customers. If you travel on your birthday or wedding anniversary, please notify the train company when booking. Usually, the train will give away a small birthday cake and swan bed decoration for free. If you want to organize a more elaborate proposal event or private party, the ship also has fresh flower and candle decoration service packages for an additional fee upon request.
Flycam flying over Halong Bay and Lan Ha is strictly controlled by the Bay Management Board and military agencies. If you want to use it, you need a license from the competent authority. In addition, to ensure privacy for other guests, Aspira has regulations that limit flycam flying on the deck when there are many guests.
All accommodations on Aspira Cruise use universal sockets (usually suitable for round or flat 2-prong plugs) and standard voltage 220V. You do not need to bring an adapter if using devices from Vietnam.
The train has 4 floors and moves mainly by stairs. However, if your family has older guests, you should prioritize booking Junior Suite rooms on the first floor. This location helps guests easily move to the reception area, restaurant and speedboat entrance without having to climb too many stairs.
To ensure fire safety and common space for all guests, Aspira strictly prohibits smoking in bedrooms and closed restaurant areas. However, you can still smoke on your room's private balcony or in outdoor areas such as the Sundeck and rooftop bar.
The time the ship leaves the dock is usually fixed (about 12:00 - 12:30). If you arrive late after the big ship has moved out to the bay, the cruise ship can help arrange a speedboat (tender) to take you out to chase the ship, but you will have to pay your own expenses for this private boat trip. So, try to be at Tuan Chau wharf before 11:30!
Tuyệt vời nào.
