Two days · One night
2 Days 1 Night Cruise
Our 2-day, 1-night cruise sails beyond the busier routes of Ha Long Bay into the quieter waters, emerald lagoons and hidden caves of Lan Ha Bay
It is the ideal choice when time is short. Board at midday, spend the afternoon swimming and kayaking in serene waters, watch the sunset from the four-season pool and jacuzzi, then glide into a hidden water cave by bamboo boat the next morning.
Highlights
Water sits at the heart of our voyages. The signature waterslide brings a rush of freedom as you glide into the emerald waters of the bay, while the heated infinity pool and jacuzzi offer an oasis of calm in every season. On Lyra Grandeur, an outdoor Nordic-style sauna completes the restorative experience, with views towards the limestone karsts.
The heat Oasis pool & Jacuzzi
Lan Ha Bay is the quieter world of hidden lagoons and unspoilt coves. Glide by kayak through Frog Lagoon, swim in its sheltered waters, and at dawn drift by bamboo boat into the stillness of the Dark & Bright Cave.
Kayaking in Frog Lagoon at sunset
As the light fades, the evening unfolds at your own pace. Gather at the Poker Club, where a professional dealer guides each hand, or in the Entertainment Room on Lyra Grandeur. For something slower, there is squid fishing under the stars, a film night, or a nightcap in the lounge.

Each suite is a sanctuary of its own, opening onto a private balcony or terrace, with an ocean-view bathtub that keeps the karsts in view. Rooted in Vietnamese heritage and refined by contemporary design, it offers true respite between the bay’s discoveries.

Available ships
The 2 days 1 night itinerary sails aboard both ships. Each carries its own character; choose the one that speaks to you.
Since 2020
With only 30 suites, Capella Cruise keeps an intimate scale. Every suite offers generous space, full-view windows, a private balcony or terrace and an ocean-view bathtub. The first star of our fleet, it pairs contemporary elegance with Vietnamese tradition.
New in 2025
Lyra Grandeur adds only three suites, 33 in all, yet is a significantly larger ship, with more spacious public areas and more elevated facilities. Its design carries a deeper imprint of Vietnamese art: heritage reimagined in Indochine style, refreshed with contemporary design. Wellness sets it further apart: an outdoor Nordic-style sauna, a generous spa with single and double treatment rooms, and exclusive wellness activities.
