Our Story
From humble beginnings to premier travel experiences
Born in the unassuming province of Nam Dinh, our founder’s journey began far from the tourist hotspots. A passion for tourism led him to Da Lat for university – over 1,000 kilometers from his hometown.
After graduating, he worked in Ho Chi Minh City, rising to hotel manager. His decade-long journey included roles in marketing, management, restaurants and travel advisory. In 2017, he became a manager for a cruise company in Ha Long and gained invaluable experience.
In 2023, he launched his own brand – Hermes Cruise – a labor of love with painstaking attention to every detail, from the design of the ship to the restaurant menus. In 2026, Hermes Premium Cruise set sail, opening a new chapter of 5-star cruising across Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay.
