In the afternoon, the cruise docks at Viet Hai Village, where guests can explore the local village, interact with the villagers, or discover the natural surroundings. For those who prefer relaxation, there’s the option of a spa treatment, a sunbath on the sundeck, or homemade cakes and refreshments. The evening brings a peaceful sunset while anchored in a serene spot, accompanied by a cooking class where guests can learn to prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes. Dinner, served in the onboard restaurant, is followed by leisure activities such as live music, squid fishing, or unwinding with a movie in your cabin.
Start the morning with a Tai Chi session on the sundeck, followed by a light breakfast of pastries and tea. The cruise will head to Dark and Light Cave, where guests can explore the stunning limestone formations either by kayak or a traditional bamboo boat. Afterward, enjoy a delicious breakfast before the journey continues to Trung Trang Cave on Cat Ba Island, the largest cave in the area. In the afternoon, lunch is served aboard the ship before heading to Cat Ba National Park, where guests can explore the island's natural beauty. The day concludes with another opportunity to participate in a cooking class or unwind with Happy Hour drinks as the cruise continues to sail through Lan Ha Bay’s breathtaking landscape. Dinner is served onboard, followed by more entertainment or a quiet evening at leisure.
On the final morning, enjoy another Tai Chi session before a light breakfast with pastries. The cruise takes a final leisurely sail through the stunning waters of Lan Ha Bay before heading back to Halong Port. Guests will check out from their cabins, and after breakfast, the boat returns to the harbor, where disembarkation takes place around 10:30 AM.
