Taking the kids with you to Vietnam is easier than you think.
Beautiful Halong Bay
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.
It's kind of amazing how things have a way of just working themselves out most of the time. It's like all the boats are fighting over who gets to kiss the pier first.

The Santa Maria is an excellent choice for cruising among the karst peaks of Halong Bay.
This is rush hour at the caves. All of the boats pull out and find their own special spot on the bay for the night.
