Ha Long Bay in Vietnamese translates to “the bay of the descending dragon”. As epic as that is, it is also one of the new seven natural wonders of the world! You can see this beauty for yourself with the overnight cruise on La Casta Cruise, a 5 star elegant and luxurious experience. 

Here, tourists can spend a day bobbing along the clear waters as you take in this stunning scenery of Halong Bay. The night brings a refreshing breeze to cool down from after a hot day, which can be enjoyed amid the beautiful limestone formations before returning to port the following afternoon to Vung Vieng— a floating fish village out of the four from the bay.
