07:00 – 07:15 | Old Quarter Pick-up (applies to guests booking the shuttle service)
The shuttle bus will pick you up at your hotel in the Old Quarter, offering spacious seats,
Wi-Fi, and complimentary bottled water.
The bus will make a 15–20-minute stop for guests to enjoy a light snack, use the
restroom, and allow the driver to rest, ensuring a safe journey.

11:30 | Welcome Aboard at Lot 16, Tuan Chau Harbor
As you step onto the deck, you will be greeted by a lion dance — a symbol of good luck
before the voyage. Enjoy a refreshing welcome drink in hand as you get ready for a 7.5-
hour journey to explore the stunning Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay.
As the cruise departs, a majestic natural panorama unfolds before you — where countless limestone islands such as Duck Islet and Finger Islet rise from the emerald waters, looking like masterpieces sculpted by the hands of nature between the sky and the sea.

14:00 | Explore the Dark & Bright Caves by Kayak or Bamboo Boat. Depending on your preference, you can paddle a kayak through mysterious rock formations or sit back in a bamboo boat to immerse yourself in complete tranquility.
Shimmering light filtering through the stalactites will make you feel as if you’ve stepped into another world.
15:00 | Swimming at the Pristine Frog Pond Area in Lan Ha Bay. A secluded paradise with emerald-green waters awaits. Swim freely, try the water slide from the ship into the sea, or simply lounge on the sundeck. Here, you’ll soak in the
breathtaking scenery of one of the world’s natural wonders.

Learn to make Vietnamese spring rolls under the guidance of our chef. More than just a cooking class, it’s a way to bring a taste of your journey back home.

Stop 4

16:30 | Sunset Party
OP1: The deck transforms into a sunset stage: chilled cocktails, the soft melody of flutes
blending with the salty sea breeze, vibrant bamboo dance performances inviting guests to
join the festivity, and the fiery sun slowly sinking into the water — every photo you take
becomes a masterpiece.
Enjoy tea, coffee, fresh fruit, and sweet treats during the sunset party.
OP2: If you prefer relaxing activities, you can register for a complimentary foot soak
service with the manager between 16:30 and 17:00.

17:45 | Return to the Harbor & Back to Hanoi
