Aqua Legend Cruise

Every cabin on Aqua Legend, the smallest grade included, opens onto its own balcony, according to the owner’s five room pages. The eleven Junior and seven Senior suites also list a Jacuzzi bathtub. That is the reason to book it. There are 21 cabins in all, and the boat works Lan Ha Bay out of Tuan Chau.

The ship belongs to Aqua Hospitality Group. The menu on its website lists five Aqua boats, among them Aqua of the Seas, so put the words “Aqua Legend” on your confirmation.

Where does Aqua Legend take you?

The Cat Ba side of the water. You kayak or swim at Tra Bau on the first afternoon, and on the last morning a tender and a bus take you into Trung Trang Cave inside Cat Ba National Park. Of the 76 boats on this site with a stop list (counted 14 October 2026, this one included), eight go to Trung Trang. Our Lan Ha Bay page explains how this water differs from Ha Long proper.

On board, the restaurant is on the second floor, according to the owner’s amenities page, and the menu runs to European and Asian dishes.

Which Aqua Legend cabin should you book?

The Junior suite, if you are two adults. It is the most common grade, it sits on the lowest cabin deck, and the owner lists the same balcony and Jacuzzi bathtub as on the Senior suites. Families have fewer choices.

Grade (owner’s name)	Cabins	Floor	Owner’s size	Beds	Who may sleep there	Bath
Aqua Junior Suite Balcony	11	1st	25 m²	double or two singles	2 adults	Jacuzzi bathtub
Aqua Senior Suite Balcony	7	2nd	28 m²	two singles or double	2 adults and 1 child	Jacuzzi bathtub
Aqua Queen Suite Balcony	1	2nd	35 m²	double	2 adults and 1 child under 5	bathtub
Aqua King Suite Balcony	1	2nd	35 m²	double	2 adults and 1 child under 5	bathtub
President Suite Balcony	1	2nd	40 m²	queen-size	2 adults and 1 child	bathtub

Every figure in that table is the owner’s, read on 11 October 2026.

The child rules shape the choice more than the sizes do. The owner’s terms let one child aged 0 to 4 sleep free in each cabin; a child aged 5 to 10 pays 75% of the adult rate when sharing with parents, and anyone over 10 pays the adult rate. A family with a child aged five or over needs a Senior suite or the President, because the Queen and King take a child only if under five. The owner lists the Junior for two adults; ask whether an infant may share.

What does an Aqua Legend cruise cost?

Price on request: ask for a quote by grade and date. The owner’s terms tell you how it will be set. Rates are per cabin, quoted in Vietnamese dong, and they move with the date. Independent travellers pay in full when they book. There is no cancellation fee 14 or more days before departure, a no-show is charged in full, and the terms add that other conditions vary by rate type and will be printed on the voucher, so read that voucher before you pay. Our guide to cancellation policies shows how other boats handle the same question.

How does the two-day Aqua Legend trip run?

You are aboard for just under a day. The owner’s timetable:

Time	Day 1
11:45	Check in at the waiting lounge, Lot 27B, Tuan Chau International Marina
12:00	Tender out to the ship, welcome drink, cabin check-in
12:45	Lunch while the boat heads into Lan Ha Bay
15:00	Kayaking or swimming at Tra Bau
17:00	Cooking class on the sundeck
19:15	Dinner
20:30	Free evening

Time	Day 2
05:45	Tai chi on the sundeck
06:30	Breakfast
07:15	Tender to Cat Ba Island, then a bus to Trung Trang Cave
09:00	Cabin check-out
09:45	An early lunch as the ship turns back
11:20	Tender to Tuan Chau Marina

The owner’s terms set check-in between 11:00 and 12:00. Arrive later and you pay a surcharge for a canoe or speedboat to catch the ship, which is worth knowing if your road transfer from Hanoi runs late; our harbour guide covers Tuan Chau.

Is the second morning worth it?

Only if you want the cave. Between 07:15 and the 09:00 check-out you are on a tender, a bus and a cave path. That leaves about an hour and a half aboard before the cave and a little over two hours after it, most of them spent packing and eating. If the balcony is why you booked, ask before departure whether you may stay aboard during the cave trip.

What changes on the three-day trip?

You spend the middle day on another vessel. At 08:15 on day two the owner moves guests to a day boat heading for the southern part of Lan Ha Bay, and you are back on Aqua Legend at about 16:00. The day holds a 5 km bicycle ride through Viet Hai Village, with electric cars for anyone who would sooner not cycle, lunch on the day boat and an afternoon swim. Dinner is back aboard at 19:00, and day three repeats the cave morning. Weigh that against the second night’s cost in our two days or three guide.

What is included on Aqua Legend, and what is not?

The owner’s lists cover meals in the programme, a welcome juice, an afternoon fruit party, kayaking, sightseeing tickets, a guide, the cooking demonstration with tea, wifi, satellite TV in the cabin, karaoke, squid-fishing gear in the evening, decoration for a birthday or anniversary, and VAT. You pay separately for the transfer from Hanoi, hotels before or after, flights, visas and personal spending. If the port authority raises entrance fees, the terms say Aqua Legend will pass the increase on as a surcharge.

Passport details for everyone, children included, are due 24 hours before you sail. Changes after 10:30 on the cruise day cost VND 2,500,000 per booking.

Our page on what is not included lists the extras guests meet most often.

Who will get the most from Aqua Legend?

Two adults who want a balcony and a tub without booking one of the three top suites. On the owner’s figures the 11 Junior suites give you both. Anyone set on seeing Trung Trang Cave also has few boats to choose from. The owner calls Aqua Legend “a 5-star cruise”, which is why it sits in our luxury cruises list.

Who is Aqua Legend a poor fit for?

Families with a child aged five or over, who are limited to eight cabins: the seven Senior suites and the President. Travellers who want the boat itself to be the holiday on the last morning should also think twice, since the cave trip takes most of it. Our guide to boat age covers what to ask about any boat’s fit-out.

Where these facts come from

The pier, both timetables, the five cabin grades with their sizes, counts, beds and floors, and the inclusions are from aqualegendcruise.com, read on 11 October 2026. The child and cancellation rules are from the terms page that Aqua Hospitality Group prints on each of its boats’ sites. The count of boats that visit Trung Trang Cave is from our own stop lists, counted on 14 October 2026.
