Scenic Ha Long Bay Cruise

Guests are welcomed aboard with a refreshing drink and soothing music as the journey begins. The cruise then departs from Tuan Chau Harbour for an exciting exploration of Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Along the route, guests will admire the bay's magnificent scenery, dotted with thousands of limestone islands and iconic formations such as Fighting Cocks Islet, Elephant Foot Rock, Incensory Rock, Hoa Cuong Bay, and especially Thumb Rock, a striking limestone pillar rising from the sea in the shape of a giant thumb. According to legend, Mother Nature placed Thumb Rock here as a symbol of goodwill for those cruising this ancient bay.

A delicious lunch featuring traditional Vietnamese dishes and Quang Ninh's famous fresh seafood is served onboard. The cruise then stops at Bo Hon Island, where the tour guide leads guests to Sung Sot (surprising) Cave, the largest and most beautiful cave in Ha Long Bay. After climbing approximately 200 steps through the forest canopy, guests reach the cave entrance and are rewarded with a breathtaking interior. The cave exploration lasts around 45 minutes before returning to the cruise (guests who prefer not to walk can remain onboard and relax on the sundeck).

The journey continues to the Luon Cave area. Here, guests may choose to relax on the ship and enjoy the jacuzzi, or actively explore the area by kayak or traditional bamboo boat. After about an hour of kayaking and cave exploration, the cruise proceeds to the Titov area. At Titov Island, guests can climb to the summit of Titov Mountain for panoramic views over Ha Long Bay, or enjoy swimming and sunbathing on the island's white sand beach. Returning to the cruise, guests take part in a Sunset Party, relaxing and admiring the peaceful sunset. On the sundeck, enjoy drinks accompanied by cakes, fresh fruit, and snacks. A lively karaoke session adds to the fun, creating joyful and unforgettable moments.

The cruise then returns to Ha Long Port, marking the end of the journey.
