Halong Bay Overnight Cruise – 2 Days

Day 1: Hanoi – Halong Bay (L, D)

In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter for a scenic three-hour drive to Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where limestone cliffs rise dramatically from emerald waters. Upon arrival at Tuan Chau Marina, board your luxury overnight cruise and enjoy a welcome drink before settling into your cabin. A freshly prepared lunch will be served on board as the boat begins to glide among the bay’s striking islands. In the afternoon, the cruise takes you deeper into the bay. You may choose to kayak through hidden lagoons or simply relax on the sundeck and take in the breathtaking views. Later, stop at Soi Sim Island, where you can swim on its white sandy beach or hike to the summit for a sweeping panoramic vista of Halong Bay. Back on the boat, there is time to refresh before enjoying a delicious dinner. Overnight stay on board.

Day 2: Halong – Hanoi (B, L)

Greet the morning with a calming Tai Chi session on the deck, watching the sun rise over the limestone peaks. After breakfast, visit Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave, one of the largest and most spectacular caves in Halong, renowned for its dramatic rock formations and sparkling stalactites. Returning to the cruise, enjoy brunch while watching a cooking demonstration that reveals the art of making Vietnamese spring rolls. As the boat sails back, admire iconic sights such as Ba Hang fishing village, Dog Islet, and Fighting Cock Islet. By midday, disembark at the marina and transfer back to Hanoi, where the tour concludes.
