Last October and November, Indochina Heritage successfully hosted 2 big incentive groups, namely LGB from Malaysia and Windtre from Italy, with Halong Bay cruise as the highlight. Both groups were sizable with more than 260 participants. Below is an article by one of our operation expert.
In our own view, an overnight cruise in Halong Bay is an excellent choice for a company incentive trip due to its combination of breathtaking scenery, team-building opportunities, and luxury amenities. The bay’s stunning karst formations, emerald waters, and tranquil atmosphere provide a unique setting that can inspire and motivate employees. Being surrounded by natural beauty fosters relaxation and creativity, which can lead to improved morale and teamwork.
Various luxury cruise ships we work with such as the Ambassador Cruise and Stellar of the Seas offer modern facilities, including spacious meeting areas, fine dining, and wellness amenities like spas and pools, ensuring a comfortable and rewarding experience for staff.
Additionally, organized activities like kayaking, cave exploration, and cooking classes encourage collaboration and bonding among team members. The immersive experience of staying overnight allows participants to enjoy the serene sunrise and sunset over the bay, creating lasting memories. Moreover, Halong Bay’s status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site adds prestige to the trip, making employees feel valued and appreciated.
We are always inspired by the combination of relaxation, adventure, and luxury, an overnight cruise which provides the perfect balance of work and leisure, reinforcing company loyalty and boosting overall team spirit.
5 most outstanding overnight cruise ships in Halong Bay
When being asked for advice, we always say that organizing a cruise trip in Halong Bay for a large incentive group requires careful planning to ensure safety, comfort, and an enjoyable experience. Selecting the right cruise operator is critical. Opt for reputable companies with proven track records in handling large groups and offering high-quality services. Consider vessels with sufficient capacity, like Ambassador or Stellar of the Seas, to comfortably accommodate the group while providing modern amenities.
Safety measures must not be overlooked. The cruise’s adherence to safety protocols, including life jackets and emergency procedures must be inspected and confirmed. We are closely mindful of dietary restrictions or allergies and communicate these in advance to the cruise operator for meal preparation.
