Capella Cruise 2 Days 1 Night: Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay

A night on Capella Cruise, the 30-suite flagship of the Lyra Cruise Collection: balconies and bay-view bathtubs in every suite, an infinity pool, a waterslide, kayaking in Frog Lagoon and the Dark & Bright Cave by bamboo boat.

Capella Cruise was launched in 2020 and is the first ship of the Lyra Cruise Collection. It keeps an intimate scale: 30 suites across six decks, each opening onto a private balcony or terrace, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a bathtub facing the karsts.

Days revolve around the water. In the afternoon the ship anchors in Frog Lagoon for kayaking and swimming, and the signature waterslide drops you straight into the bay. The heated infinity pool, mini-golf and Poker Club fill the hours in between.

Next morning, a bamboo boat takes you into the Dark & Bright Cave before brunch on the way back to Tuan Chau.

Moments you'll remember

  • Sundeck with loungers at sunset

    An intimate ship

    With 30 suites across six decks, Capella never feels crowded: there is always a free lounger on the sundeck.

  • Kayaking on the bay at sunset

    Afternoons on the water

    Kayak in Frog Lagoon, ride the signature waterslide, then warm up in the infinity pool as the light turns gold.

  • Tea master preparing Vietnamese tea on board

    Tea, poker and stars

    Evenings are slow: a Vietnamese tea ceremony, a hand of poker with the dealer, or squid fishing under the stars.

Why we love this trip

Capella has the same route and the same toys as its bigger sister, on a smaller, quieter ship: ideal if you want the luxury without the crowd.
