ITINERARY

Set sail on this elegant French-Indochinese vessel and visit floating villages, Sung Sot Cave, and Ti Top Island. Enjoy kayaking, visit a floating pearl farm, and take scenic hikes. On board, indulge in fine dining and take part in activities such as squid fishing and a cooking class.
Day 1 | Tuan Chau Marina – Cua Van Village – Cave – Mooring
Embark on an enchanting Halong Bay journey as you acquaint yourself with the amenities on board our vessel. Witness the breathtaking scenery from the sun deck during our initial hours of cruising. Start our journey with a pass by Cua Van Relic, a former floating fishing village in Halong Bay, where fishermen once used it as a base for their fishing and aquacultural activities. Glide through this serene area in a small bamboo boat rowed by locals, offering a glimpse into the village and understanding how entire families once lived on water here. For the more active ones, take a kayak and paddle around the floating hamlet for a personal exploration (complimentary only for 2-night stays).
Next, we transfer by tender to Tien Ong Cave, providing evidence of human civilisation dating back to 10,000–8,000 BC. This small cave provides fascinating insights into Halong Bay’s geological history.
Returning to the ship, we sail to the overnight mooring area, where the “blue hour” unveils Halong Bay’s magical beauty. Relax on the sun deck with your favourite drink, absorbing the tranquil moment. Engage in a cooking class with our chef, practising classic Vietnamese recipes to impress your loved ones at home later.
As evening descends, a multi-course à la carte dinner is served. If you like, join in later for an on-board presentation about the bay’s unique features and secrets. Alternatively, try your hand at squid fishing with our staff for a delightful and entertaining experience. Spend the rest of the evening embracing the magical landscapes in the heart of Halong Bay, where, once upon a time, sparkling jewels cascaded from heavenly dragons.
