Cat Ba is the largest island in the Cat Ba Archipelago — 367 limestone islands at the southern edge of Ha Long Bay, part of Hai Phong. In 2023, UNESCO extended its World Heritage status to include Cat Ba.
Most cruises here run on Lan Ha Bay — same dramatic karst scenery as Ha Long, with a fraction of the crowds.
