You will enjoy a full-day experience in Ha Long Bay aboard the Arcady Premium Cruise, a modern and elegant vessel with spacious decks, air-conditioned lounges, and attentive service, designed for comfort with a limited passenger capacity. From the very beginning, you will receive a welcome drink and enjoy onboard facilities such as a jacuzzi and sundeck, ideal for relaxing while sailing among limestone islets and picture-perfect landscapes.
The experience will begin in Hanoi or directly at the harbor, depending on the option you select. Guests starting the excursion from Hanoi will make a short stop halfway through the journey to stretch their legs and use the facilities. Upon arrival at Tuan Chau Marina, you will board the cruise and begin sailing through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, passing formations such as Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and Thumb Rock, while the scenery opens up into thousands of karst islets.
On board, you will enjoy a premium buffet lunch featuring fresh seafood and Vietnamese specialties, including vegetarian options. Afterwards, you will visit Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave), considered the largest and one of the most impressive caves in the bay, exploring its chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites; if you prefer to avoid the stairs, you may remain on the boat and relax on the deck.
Later, you will explore Luon Cave by kayak or bamboo boat with a local rower, gliding through a peaceful environment surrounded by vegetation-covered cliffs. Afterwards, you will stop at Titop Island, where you may climb to a viewpoint for panoramic views over Ha Long Bay or relax by swimming and sunbathing on its crescent-shaped beach.
To conclude, you will enjoy a sunset party with wine, Vietnamese tea, and fresh fruit while the cruise returns to the harbor. Finally, you will head back to Hanoi, completing a balanced day of natural scenery, water activities, and onboard comfort.
