Vietnam’s natural beauty is breathtaking, from towering limestone karsts to lush floating villages and winding river deltas. One of the most enchanting ways to explore this spectacular landscape is by cruise — where the journey itself becomes an unforgettable part of your adventure. At Come & Go Vietnam, we specialize in curating authentic and luxurious cruise experiences that immerse you in Vietnam’s culture, history, and stunning waterways.

Why Choose a Vietnam Cruise?

Cruising in Vietnam offers a unique perspective to see the country’s iconic sites while enjoying comfort, convenience, and unparalleled access to hidden gems. Whether gliding through the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay or drifting along the intricate waterways of the Mekong Delta, a cruise is both a relaxing escape and an adventure.

Unlike land tours, cruises invite you to experience Vietnam’s landscapes at a leisurely pace. You awaken each day in a new, breathtaking setting — waking up to limestone islands or sleepy fishing villages — and enjoy personalized excursions that reveal local culture and natural wonders.

Ha Long Bay: The Jewel of Northern Vietnam

No cruise itinerary is complete without experiencing Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its ethereal beauty. Comprising thousands of limestone karsts and islets rising dramatically from the emerald waters, Ha Long Bay has inspired poets and painters for centuries.

At Come & Go Vietnam, we offer a range of cruises in Ha Long Bay—from luxurious multi-night junks to day cruises on boutique vessels. By day, you can kayak through hidden lagoons, swim in secluded beaches, or explore caves adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. Visit floating fishing villages where locals harvest seafood and pearls, gaining insight into a way of life that has endured for generations.

In the evenings, relax on the deck with a fresh seafood dinner prepared by expert chefs, enjoy onboard cultural performances, or simply unwind under a canopy of stars. The blend of comfort and nature creates an unforgettable experience.

The Mekong Delta: Vietnam’s Water World

Travel south to the Mekong Delta, Vietnam’s “rice bowl” and a labyrinth of rivers, canals, and floating markets. Cruising this watery world reveals a vibrant ecosystem and a unique cultural mosaic shaped by centuries of river life.

Our Mekong Delta cruises allow you to witness everyday river scenes — farmers tending rice paddies, women selling fresh fruits from boats, children playing along the banks — in an intimate and unhurried way. Explore bustling floating markets like Cai Rang and Phong Dien, where boats laden with produce trade in lively barter.

Onboard your cruise, savor traditional Mekong cuisine and enjoy cozy accommodations designed to blend modern comfort with local charm. Shore excursions include visits to traditional villages, temples, and workshops crafting coconut candy, rice paper, and woven mats.
