Our Story
Traditional Vietnamese Wooden Junk in Bai Tu Long Bay
Renea Cruises is a boutique cruise brand proudly representing the timeless beauty of the traditional Vietnamese wooden junk. Sailing through the pristine waters of Bai Tu Long Bay, we offer travelers a quieter, more authentic alternative to the busier routes of Halong Bay — where untouched islands, emerald waters, and peaceful landscapes create a truly immersive experience.
Established in September 2018 by a passionate team of tourism professionals with over a decade of collective experience, Renea Cruises was born from a shared vision: to redefine luxury and adventure through meaningful, culturally rich journeys on Vietnam’s World Heritage waters.
From the very beginning, we envisioned more than just a cruise — we dreamed of crafting a sanctuary at sea. Each Renea vessel is meticulously built from wood, inspired by classical Vietnamese junk design, blending traditional charm with modern comfort.
Our boutique wooden fleet reflects elegance, warmth, and authenticity. Every detail — from handcrafted interiors to carefully curated itineraries — is designed to create a refined yet intimate atmosphere where guests can truly disconnect and embrace the serenity of nature.
We specialize in journeys through Bai Tu Long Bay, a hidden gem known for its tranquility and raw beauty. Whether you choose a 1-night or 2-night cruise, your voyage will be filled with kayaking through secluded lagoons, exploring mystical caves, visiting floating fishing villages, and witnessing breathtaking sunrises over limestone karsts.
