Boarding the Rosa Cruise feels like stepping into a slower world: the bus leaves Hanoi’s Old Quarter and hours later the bay opens, a scatter of limestone towers rising from jade water. On deck, the air tastes faintly of salt and citrus; crews move with practiced calm as the ship threads between islets and anchors in a sheltered lagoon.
