You will board directly at Tuan Chau Marina or Sun Harbor, depending on the cruise you choose. Upon arrival, you will check in and board your assigned cruise with a welcome drink, then begin your scenic journey through the stunning UNESCO World Heritage site of Halong Bay. Along the way, you’ll pass iconic limestone formations such as Fighting Cock and Incense Burner islets.

A Vietnamese lunch will be served onboard — either as a set menu or buffet, depending on your cruise type. After lunch, you can choose to take part in optional activities like kayaking or a bamboo boat ride at Luon Cave (additional charges apply), or simply relax and enjoy the view.

The journey continues with a guided visit to Sung Sot (Surprising) Cave, followed by a stop at Titov Island where you’ll have time to swim, unwind on the beach, or hike to the top for panoramic views of the bay.

As you make your way back to the harbour, enjoy Vietnamese tea, cakes, and fresh fruit while watching the sunset over the water.
