A salt-sweet wind lifts off the emerald water as the Venezia Cruise slips away from Gót Ferry, carving a quiet path into karst spires that rise like weathered sculptures from the sea. On deck, fishing boats drift like punctuation marks; below, glassy channels thread between limestone towers. By late afternoon the ship anchors in Lan Ha Bay and the horizon tightens into caves, islets and hidden coves that reward small-boat exploration.
