The boat eases away from Tuan Chau as limestone towers appear like islands lifting themselves from green water; gulls wheel and the engine hum becomes a steady companion. Onboard the Rosa Cruise you move through a landscape carved by ancient seas—sheer karsts, hidden lagoons and pockets of mangrove that shape Lan Ha and the quieter corners of Halong Bay.
