What to do this Valentine’s 2026

Valentine’s Day has a funny way of creating pressure. To plan something “perfect,” to make it memorable, to turn love into a checklist. But the celebrations that stay with us usually aren’t the loudest ones. They’re the moments that feel intentional: slow mornings, shared views, a little softness woven into the day.

So… why not spend this Valentine’s on a luxury cruise?

Not as an extravagant statement. More like a thoughtful present for you and your partner. A small escape where you don’t have to rush between restaurants and reservations, where romance arrives naturally: misty mornings on deck, golden-hour drinks, and the kind of quiet that makes you talk again.

Valentine

A Valentine’s on the water, the Indochina Sails way

Picture this: you wake up to limestone cliffs rising out of the bay, sunlight spilling across the water. Breakfast comes without an alarm. As the day unfolds, you’ll have time to explore, perhaps spending the afternoon kayaking into hidden corners then returning to a beautifully styled cabin where everything feels calm and cared for. At night, it’s a candlelit dinner, soft music and a sky full of stars: no crowded venues, no noise, no “what should we do next?” energy.

Romantic onboard moments to lean into:

  • A honeymoon-style welcome: we can decorate your cabin for a romantic stay, complete with a little chocolate surprise waiting for you.
  • Afternoon tea on the sundeck: slow sips, sea breeze, and that “we have nowhere to be” feeling, exactly what a couple’s escape should be.
  • A candlelit dinner, your way: if you’re picturing something intimate and special, just tell us what you’d like and we’ll help bring it to life.
  • The art of doing nothing: sometimes romance is simply staying in: lounging in a beautifully crafted cabin with delicate lacquered floral details, letting the bay drift by outside your window.

Indochine Premium

and plenty more for two: scenic outdoor moments, gentle adventures, and little surprises that make Ha Long feel like it belongs to just the two of you.

Choose your cruise based on your love story

If you’re the kind of couple who loves nostalgia, mood, and timeless details:

Indochina Sails: Classic Indochine / Vintage Style

For couples drawn to the romantic, postcard version of Ha Long Bay: warm wooden decks, a more personal atmosphere and a slower rhythm, a traditional wooden cruise is often the perfect match.

Indochina Sails

This is where Indochina Sails truly shines. It’s a refined interpretation of the classic junk-cruise experience: heritage-inspired and full of charm, yet finished with the comfort and polish modern travellers expect. The onboard mood feels boutique and unhurried: think sunset moments on the sundeck, quiet mornings with coffee and sea air, and a sense that you’re not just passing through Ha Long… you’re living in it, together. If you want an elegant, authentic Ha Long “look and feel” with natural romance built into every moment, Indochina Sails is a beautiful choice for couples.

Prefer something quiet, intimate and boutique without being on a ship that feels too large? Indochine Grand is made for couples who prioritise peace and privacy, while still wanting a cruise that looks and feels exceptional. Its interiors are where it truly shines: the investment in exquisite craftsmanship is most evident, creating a refined atmosphere that feels exclusive and personal. Think of it as a romantic hideaway on the bay: serene, beautifully designed, and effortlessly memorable.
