On the evening of October 30, 2025, Legacy Voyages Co., Ltd. held the grand opening ceremony for the Dolphin Halong Cruise at Ha Long International Cruise Port. This is the leading modern "all-in-one" superyacht in Vietnam.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Bui Huy Thuat, Chairman of Legacy Voyages Vietnam Co., Ltd., shared: "More than just a cruise, Dolphin creates a peak entertainment experience amidst the heritage space, connecting emotions, awakening all senses, and inspiring endless inspiration."

The most impressive highlight of the Dolphin Cruise is its nearly 300 m² four-season saltwater swimming pool, the largest on a cruise ship in Vietnam.

Dolphin Halong Cruise received an investment of over 300 billion VND, boasting a length of nearly 100 meters, a width of 20 meters, and a height of 22 meters, with a capacity of up to 600 guests. The design comprises four above-water decks and one basement level, creating an exceptionally flexible and luxurious space where every detail is meticulously attended to, enhancing the overall guest experience.

The most impressive highlight is the nearly 300 m² four-season saltwater swimming pool—the largest on a cruise ship in Vietnam—along with a hydraulic Jacuzzi spa, 16 private bungalows, a 700 m² restaurant, a luxury bar, an international conference room, and an over 180 m² domed floating stage equipped with modern sound and lighting systems. All these features create a multi-layered entertainment space where emotions, music, cuisine, and natural scenery blend into a vibrant symphony.

Dolphin Halong Cruise is an ideal destination for MICE groups, events, and high-end weddings.

Beyond the journey of exploring Ha Long Bay, Dolphin is also an ideal destination for MICE groups, events, and high-end weddings. The open space, modern equipment, and outdoor stage system transform every event into a unique "emotional show" in the heart of the heritage site.

At the opening ceremony, Mr. Bui Huy Thuat extended his deepest gratitude to the managing agencies that accompanied the project throughout its implementation, including the Vietnam Register, Quang Ninh Department of Tourism, Department of Transport, Ha Long Bay Management Board, along with contractors Nam Phat, Khien Ha, Lilama, and the team of engineers, workers, and designers who worked with a high sense of responsibility to complete the cruise ship on schedule.

"We highly value every piece of support, every hand that contributed to launching this project. Dolphin is not merely a cruise ship; it is the culmination of intellect, technology, creativity, and a deep love for the seas and islands of Vietnam," Mr. Thuat shared.

The cruise ship's architecture is inspired by the highly impressive image of dancing dolphins.

Celebrating Heritage, Crafting a Multi-Sensory Journey.

Carrying the mission of “Creating Moments - Connecting Emotions - Honoring Heritage,” Dolphin Halong Cruise is likened to a sail cutting through the waves, opening up a sustainable, world-class, and emotionally rich tourism experience amidst Ha Long Bay—one of the world’s natural wonders.

According to Mr. Bui Huy Thuat, Dolphin's development philosophy lies not only in its scale or luxury but in the emotional experience and the harmony between humans and nature. Every space on the cruise ship is designed to awaken the senses: natural light is abundant, music blends with the sound of the waves, and exquisite cuisine evokes the cultures of Vietnam and the world.

The Voyage of Unlocking Unique Values

The grand opening ceremony for Dolphin Halong Cruise was not just an event to launch a new product but also an occasion to express gratitude to the pioneering partners and guests who accompanied the project from its inception. From this point, Dolphin begins a new journey with the mission to “cut through the waves – unleash distinctive values,” ensuring that every sail is a memorable occasion and every journey tells a unique story.

Dolphin Halong Cruise currently offers two itineraries. For the daytime journey, guests check in at Ha Long International Cruise Port in the morning and begin their bay exploration aboard the cruise ship. As it departs the port, the cruise gently glides past majestic limestone islands, where the turquoise waters reflect the early morning sunlight.

In the luxurious setting with soothing music, guests enjoy a buffet lunch featuring hundreds of refined dishes, experiencing the harmony between cuisine and nature. The first stop is Luon Cave—where guests can manually paddle kayaks or take a small bamboo boat rowed by locals through the winding rock arches, touching the quiet wilderness of the heritage site.

Following this, the itinerary takes guests to Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave), the largest and most magnificent cave in Ha Long Bay, dazzling with thousands of stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years. The final stop is Titop Island, where guests can conquer 420 steps to capture a panoramic view of the magnificent bay, or relax on the crescent-shaped beach, immersing themselves in the clear blue water. On the return trip, as the sun sets, guests can sip drinks, enjoy live music, and savor a peaceful moment between the sea and sky.

For the nighttime itinerary, guests will experience an emotional Dinner Cruise journey. From the moment the cruise ship departs the port, the nighttime panorama of Ha Long unfolds, shimmering, mystical, and vibrant. Light reflects off the water, gentle sea breezes caress, and the distinctive salty scent awakens all senses.

On the deck, a welcome cocktail and delicate canapés kick off the premium culinary feast. When the cruise ship anchors mid-bay, guests step into a rich Asian-European buffet dinner space, simultaneously enjoying the cuisine, listening to melodious music, and watching the city lights reflected below the water’s surface.

The cruise ship features an over 180 m² domed floating stage equipped with a modern sound and lighting system.

Ha Long night becomes even more magical as live melodies rise from the domed stage, blending with the sound of the waves and the joyful laughter of the guests. The voyage concludes when the cruise returns to the port at 10:00 PM (22:00), closing an evening of sublime entertainment where heritage, music, and emotions converge in the space named Dolphin Halong Cruise.

According to the assessment of Mr. Dang Duy Trung Hieu, Vice Chairman of the Hanoi Tourism Association and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vietnam Express Tour: "The launch of Dolphin Halong Cruise is a positive signal in Quang Ninh province's strategy to develop high-end tourism products linked to its heritage. Dolphin is a prime example of a luxury cruise ship that combines technology, creativity, and Vietnamese identity, contributing to refreshing the visitor experience and affirming Quang Ninh's position on the international tourism map."

It is known that Legacy Voyages Vietnam currently manages and operates three luxury cruise brands in Ha Long - Lan Ha Bay, including: Dolphin Halong Cruise, Iris Cruise Halong, and Jasmine Legacy. Each cruise ship carries a distinct identity: Iris is where music blends with nature on a charming journey; Jasmine offers a resort space deeply rooted in Vietnamese craft village culture; and Dolphin is the symbol of sophistication, vibrancy, and multi-sensory experiences.

A representative of the company stated that Legacy Voyages Vietnam's long-term orientation is to build a Vietnamese cruise brand that meets international standards, while also committing to protecting and preserving the beauty of Ha Long Bay through green solutions in operation, management, and services.

“Sustainable tourism development cannot merely stop at words. Dolphin applies energy-saving technologies, closed-loop wastewater treatment, limits plastic waste, and strengthens the promotion of heritage protection awareness to every single guest,” Mr. Thuat emphasized.

After more than two years of preparation and construction, Dolphin Halong Cruise has become the symbol of luxury entertainment cruising in Vietnam, where the essence of design, technology, and the art of service converge. Every detail reflects the aspiration to elevate Vietnamese tourism products to an international level, comparable to the world's leading cruise destinations.

In the glow of the sunset over Ha Long Bay, as the last rays of light reflect on the water, the Dolphin Cruise glides gently like a silver ribbon between the sea and sky. Music fills the air, wine glistens in the glass, and the guests’ laughter blends with the sound of the waves. In that very moment, just as Mr. Bui Huy Thuat said, all senses are awakened, and the journey of heritage discovery truly becomes an experience of the heart.

Dolphin Halong Cruise is more than just a trip; it is the beginning of a lifestyle. A lifestyle where people harmonize with nature, where heritage is not only admired but also honored with all the emotions of those who appreciate the beauty of Vietnam.
