Place to sleep: Santa Maria Cruiser, Haiphong, Vietnam

About this place:

The Santa Maria Cruiser is a comfortable way to cruise among the limestone-karst peaks of Halong Bay. It is 29 meters long, 7 meters wide, and decked out in teak and oak in the traditional Asian Junk style. There are eight teak-paneled cabins featuring comfortable beds, ensuite baths, and air conditioning. The top deck has plenty of cozy lounge chairs, perfect for watching sunsets, while the mid-deck has a spacious dining room that serves up tasty fare. You can book it through Columbus Travel and I recommend doing the two night cruise, as one night is not enough time to settle into the peacefulness of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
