What you can expect

DAY 1: Hanoi - Ha Long - Lan Ha Bay (Lunch & Dinner)
07:30 – 08:00: Pick‑up from hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter (for guests using our transfer service). Travel via motorway to Tuan Chau Marina (~2.5 hours).
11:30: Whether you arrive independently or with our transfer, a warm welcome awaits at our waiting room in Tuan Chau Marina (for guests arriving independently).
11:45 – 12:00: Tender transfer to the boat.
A cool towel, a sparkling welcome drink, and the smiles of our crew set the tone. After a short safety briefing, your cabin is ready.
12:30 – 13:00: Lunch in our luxury restaurant while cruising through scenic canals towards the bay.
Limestone karsts rise dramatically on both sides, and every dish is paired with a new panorama.
14:30 – 16:00: Choose your adventure: paddle a kayak at your own rhythm, slipping through hidden grottoes, or sit back in a bamboo boat rowed by locals.
Inside the cave, sunlight dances on the water, illuminating a secret world of limestone arches.
16:30 – 17:30: Return to the ship and dive into emerald water for a refreshing swim.
17:30 – 18:30: The bay glows gold as the sun lowers. Join fellow travellers on deck for Happy Hour (“Buy 2, Get 1 Free”), take a dip in the pool, stretch out on a sunbed, or simply capture the sunset with your camera, or your heart.
18:15: Under the guidance of our chef, learn to prepare spring rolls with fragrant herbs. Or, if you prefer, book a massage with the spa team. For those who like to keep active, the gym is open.
19:15: Dinner is more than a meal - it’s an experience
20:45: The night is yours: sing your heart out with karaoke, try squid fishing off the stern, relax with a spa treatment, or simply enjoy a nightcap at the top-deck bar under a sky full of stars.
Autumn asleep to the gentle sway of the bay.

DAY 2: Lan Ha Bay – Hanoi (Breakfast & Brunch)
06:15: Greet the day with Tai Chi on the sundeck as the first light brushes over the limestone towers. Or, for a different energy, hit the gym with a sunrise workout.
07:00: Light breakfast is served in the restaurant.
Fresh coffee, tea, and pastries served.
07:30 – 08:30: Paddle into the quiet corners of Lan Ha, where mirrored waters reflect towering cliffs. It’s a tranquil, almost meditative way to say farewell to the bay.
Exploring the area by kayak would provide you with some unique experiences: to see the massive limestone karst up close, sail slowly through several hidden caves and lagoons where the big cruises can’t or you can swim into sparkling clear and calm waters.
09:30: Back on board, pack up and savour a final brunch as the ship sails slowly towards the harbour.
10:45 – 11:00: A tender brings you back to shore. Farewell to the crew who now feel like family.
12:00: Independent travellers continue on their own. Guests using our transfer service relax in the limousine for the drive back to Hanoi, arriving around 15:00.
15:00: End of trip.
