Full Itinerary
Our guide will pick you up at your hotel for a car trip to Halong City (transfer by shuttle bus or private vehicle, not included in cabin price). Take advantage of the trip to watch the rustic sceneries of Vietnam’s village life on road sides. Arrive at the pier at 11:30 then transfer to the cruise ship and enjoy welcome drink.
Afternoon:After listening to cruise safety instruction and checking in your room, enjoy exquisite lunch set while viewing the panorama of Halong Bay through scenic windows of the cruise ship. You will see the many caves and grottos on the way as we cruise through the water body of Halong Bay. By 16:00, embark at Titop Island. You have more than 1 hour for swimming or sunbathing on Titop beach, or climbing to the top of the mountain and admiring the magnificent bay view.
Depart and sail for about 30 minutes to the place where we will anchor for the night.
Evening:Those interested can join us in the dining hall to learn to make traditional Vietnamese food with our Chef and especially watch our fruit and vegetable carving session. Dinner will be served soon after, featuring both local and international cuisines.
In the evening, there are board games available if you want some family activities or you can try your luck at squid fishing which is a unique activity at night in Halong Bay.
The day starts early but enthusiastically with Tai Chi morning class on the sundeck and light breakfast at 7:45am. Transfer by tender to the Indochina Sails day boat and begin to cruise to Lan Ha Bay are which is around 25 km from Halong Bay. The adventure is even more exciting as you will be visiting Dark - Bright Cave - the underwater cave with tranquil scenery of a lagoon. You have around 1 hour and a half to discover this area.
At 11:30, return to the day boat and enjoy a Vietnamese style lunch.
Afternoon:The day boat progresses to Ba Trai Dao Area where you can immerse in the crystal clear water of Lan Ha Bay. Later, you have almost 1 hour to visit a local pearl farm in Halong Bay on the way back to the mother boat. Here you can learn about the process of growing and harvesting pearl in Halong. Come back to the cruise ship at 16:00 and embark for the night.
Evening:Enjoy a long list of deluxe Vietnamese and Western fares for dinner after such an activity-packed day. Then it is free time for you to spend at your own leisure. Our happy hour will resume from 21:00 to 23:00.
Another exciting Tai Chi session on the sundeck to warm up the day. Get down to the tender and go to Titov Surprise Cave - the largest cave of Halong Bay. Climb up the stairs and be amazed by the stunning stalactites and stalagmites inside the cave.

Asked by KIM GON | Sep. 29, 2023 08:57
I am going to use the cruise for 2 days and 1 night. Arrive at Hai Phong Cat Bi Airport at 09:40. Can you pick me up by shuttle bus? Is it possible to cruise tour on the day?
Answered by Cindy | Sep. 29, 2023 08:58
Dear Kim Gon, Thank you for your question! As per your arrival time, it is possible for you to do the cruise on the day you arrive but we do not have shuttle bus service picking up from Hai Phong. You would need a private car at USD 45/ car for 2 persons. Kindly share with me the number of people in your group to check the availability. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Asked by Sarah Terry | Sep. 16, 2023 09:06
Hi, (1) we wonder if you accept credit cards on board or do we need cash? (2) Also, is there room in the cabin (standard) for 4 bags? We are so excited for this trip! Sarah
Answered by Jolie | Sep. 16, 2023 09:06
Dear Ms. Sarah Terry, Thank you for your question. I am very glad to assist you with your trip. (1) You can surely pay by credit card on the boat, however, please note that bank fee will be charged. (2) The room is quite small thus it is better if you leave some luggage at your hotel and just bring 1 or 2 bags along. I hope my information is helpful and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)

Asked by Marika | Aug. 15, 2023 09:08
Hi, We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (4 and 8 years). But this only seems to have 1 double bed OR 2 twin beds. Could you please let us know if we still need to request extra beds for the kids and if we can expect an extra cost for those beds? Many thanks.
Answered by Cindy | Aug. 15, 2023 09:09
Dear Marika, Thank you for your question! Please be advised that it is possible to put an extra mattress in the cabin for one of your 8-year-old child (with extra charge) and the 4-year-old child can share bed with parents. However, the cabin is small thus it would be quite cramped for your family thus kindly consider taking 2 rooms or I can suggest you other cruise with family room. I hope my info would be helpful thus please share with me your exact travel date to check the availability. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)
Asked by Suen martin | Aug. 11, 2023 09:01
Hello, we are a family of 2 x adults and 3 children aged 9/11/12 yrs old. What is the best Accomodation option for us, can we all stay in one room? Thank you
Asked by Ankush | Aug. 01, 2023 09:39
I am arriving at Hanoi airport at 10 am on 23rd Dec. I want a 2-day cruise can you give me some suggestion. Do you guys do pickup from Hanoi Airport? Thanks, Ankush
Answered by Sunny | Aug. 01, 2023 09:40
Dear Mr. Ankush, Thank you for your contacting us and I am afraid that you may miss our cruise as our cruise all leave the pier in Halong at around 12.00 PM. Besides that, the transfer time is around 2.5 hours from Hanoi airport to Halong in a normal traffic condition and if there is no delay on your flight. Therefore, it's better if you could change to an earlier flight if possible as it is very easy to miss the cruise trip. We are surely could arrange a private car transfer for pick-up from Hanoi airport thus please kindly no worries. Thank you! Kind regards, Sunny (Ms)
