Come back to the boat; enjoy free cocktails on the sundeck, snaps photos of the Bay or swim as the sun starts to set. In the late afternoon is an interesting Vietnamese cooking class while tasting some fresh fruits.
At 19:00, dinner is served. The rest of the night is for social activities with other friends, karaoke singing and squid fishing. Overnight in Cong Do area.
Get up early to take part in morning Tai Chi Class on the sundeck. Have breakfast while contemplating the great view of the sunrise over the Bay. Cruise toward and set foot on Thien Canh Son Cave, the lesser known but no less attractive part of the Bay.

A memorable trip on a clean and beautiful boat! This cruise is more affordable compared to other ones in Halong Bay. With the price paid, there’s nothing to fault.

The overall experience in Calypso Cruise was nice. Beautiful setting, well-furnished amenities, friendly and attentive staff, average food.
The hard part was a four hour drive from Hanoi. It was long but unavoidable if you want to set foot in Halong.
