Alongside the onshore parade and the carnival, illuminated cruise ships sail in procession along the Ha Long Bay coastline.

Nearly 100 cruise ships follow one another, creating a magical “river of lights” across the bay.

Vibrant music, multicolored lighting effects and fireworks from the decks transform the night bay into a giant floating stage.

Visitors aboard the cruise ships capture memorable moments amid the festive atmosphere.

Cruise ships and tourist boats gather at the foot of Bai Tho Mountain.

Traditional red-sailed boats light up the bay, blending into the vibrant festival of lights.

The performance on Ha Long Bay helps create a unique festival space within Ha Long Carnival 2026, offering visitors a fresh and memorable experience.
