This short yet insightful trip will take you to the heart of Halong Bay on an off-the-beaten-path route and show you the best of this magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site.

What To Expect

With such worldwide reputation, the bay of “descending dragons” is a huge tourist attraction. This trip will help you escape the tourist traps and enjoy the most comfortable and rewarding tour you could ever find in the area.

Superior service with safety as first priority
The safety and security of our travelers and team members is paramount. Each cabin is connected to the integrated boat-wide alarm system, and is equipped with a fire extinguisher, hammer, flashlight and life jackets. The boats are all equipped with integrated boat-wide alarm systems, life rings, life rafts and fire extinguishers. Before each cruise, all passengers take part in a safety briefing.

Comfortable and luxurious accommodation
The cruise is one of the few that offers panoramic window in every cabin, so that you can easily witness the marvelous views of the iridescent waters and more than 2,000 idyllic limestone islands! The handmade wooden furniture and luxurious bed & bath linen will ensure you a comfortable and satisfying stay.

Off-the-beaten-path and unique routes
Following the less travelled paths of the bay, this classic cruise offers unique cruising experience. In this two-day trip, you will visit Tien Ong Cave, which is not only a beauty spot but also an archaeological site. Covering an area of 1,000 m2 with stunning stalactites and stalagmites, the cave is one of the finest caves in Halong Bay. Cua Van floating village, one of the 11 insanely beautiful towns according to The Huffington Post, is also a main destination in the itinerary.

Various interesting activities onboard and off board
Participate in a variety of activities onboard and off board including swimming, kayaking, rowing, and squid fishing. If you are a food lover, don't miss out on our Master-Chef Competition and Fruit Carving Demonstration. The cruise also feature a sundeck with long chairs, which is perfect for sunbathing. Start off your morning on the second day with a Tai Chi class hosted on the sundeck. And plenty of other interesting activities and services are waiting for you to explore, so hurry up!
