Celina of The Seas Cruise
INTRODUCTION
Nestled between the world-renowned natural wonder of Ha
Long Bay and the pristine, tranquil beauty of Lan Ha
Bay, the 6-star Celina of the Sea cruise ship emerges as
a new symbol of luxury sea travel in Vietnam. More than
just a means of transportation, Celina of the Sea offers
a complete experience of relaxation, exploration, and
enjoyment, where every moment on board is elevated to an
art form of sophisticated living.
Officially launched and commissioned in February 2026,
Celina of the Sea is expected to become the most
luxurious 6-star overnight cruise ship operating on the
Ha Long Bay – Lan Ha Bay route, meeting the most
stringent standards of high-end domestic and
international tourists.
New generation 6-star overnight cruise ship –
Construction and launch in 2026
Completely different from converted or upgraded cruise
ships, Celina of the Sea is a brand-new, 6-star
overnight cruise ship, utilizing the most advanced
shipbuilding technology available today. Its official
launch in February 2026 marks a new milestone for
Vietnam's cruise tourism industry, elevating the bay
vacation experience to a higher standard. Every detail
on the cruise ship – from the hull structure, safety
systems, smooth operation, to the interior design – has
been meticulously studied to ensure absolute comfort,
stable operation, and environmental friendliness. This
is the ideal choice for travelers seeking a luxurious,
private, and unique overnight journey amidst a heritage
site.
One of the outstanding features of the 6-star Celina of
the Sea cruise ship is its itinerary that simultaneously
explores Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay – two precious gems
of the Gulf of Tonkin. While Ha Long Bay is globally
renowned for its thousands of majestic limestone
islands, magical caves, and unique geological features,
Lan Ha Bay impresses with its pristine, tranquil beauty,
turquoise waters, and unspoiled beaches. The combined
itinerary allows guests to admire these world natural
wonders while enjoying a secluded, tranquil retreat away
from the crowds. Each cruise is a perfect symphony of
exploration, relaxation, and cultural experiences.
