Join the Arcady Premium Cruise for a memorable day exploring Ha Long Bay — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Relax on a modern cruise, savor Vietnamese cuisine, and discover the bay’s most iconic spots.
We will pick up at your hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter around 08:00 -8:30 am. We will pick up at meeting point Hanoi Opera House at 08:30am. Please contact us to provide your location and be confirmed.
07:45-08:40 – Hotel Pick-Up Our English-speaking tour guide will pick up guests from various hotels in Hanoi's Old Quarter, between 07:45 AM and 08:40 AM. We strive to make pick-ups as timely as possible, but due to morning traffic in the Old Quarter and the number of hotels to collect from, this time is approximate. Please be ready to help expedite the process. 10:30-10:45 – Short Lavatory Break A quick rest stop halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack if you missed breakfast (our driver appreciates a coffee break as well!) before we get back on the road to finish the journey. The length of this break will depend on the timing of morning hotel pick-ups in Hanoi. If the pick-up process is completed quickly, we will have more time for the rest stop.
11:45-12:00 – Boarding the Cruise The bus will arrive at Tuan Chau Marina and reach our pier, where our welcoming staff will be waiting for you with a big smile. For guests who have not booked transportation from Hanoi, please be at Tuan Chau International Marina by 11:45 AM.
12:00-13:30 – Lunch on Board The cruise departs from Tuan Chau harbor for a joyful journey to discover the beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage site, Ha Long Bay. Along the way, you will pass by the grandeur of the legendary bay with thousands of limestone islands, including Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and especially Thumb Rock – a beautiful limestone islet rising from the sea in the shape of a giant thumb. Enjoy a huge buffet lunch with a variety of dishes, including seafood and Vietnamese food. Vegetarian options do available in the buffet.
13:30-14:30 – Explore Surprising Cave (Sung Sot Cave) We will stop at Bo Hon Island, where our tour guide will take you to Sung Sot Cave (Surprising Cave), the largest and most beautiful cave in Ha Long Bay. After about 200 steps through the forest canopy, the entrance of the cave will appear. A paradise will unfold before you. You will explore the cave for about 45 minutes before returning to the cruise. (For tourists who cannot walk much, you can stay on the cruise and relax on the sundeck.)
14:30-15:30 – Kayaking Luon Cave The cruise heads to Luon Cave. Here, you can get active with kayaking (about 30 minutes) or enjoy the beautiful scenery at Hang Luon (Creepy Cave) with a rowboat, rowed by the local people of Ha Long Bay.
15:30-17:00 – Titop Island – Titop Beach – Titop Mountain We will stop at Titop Island. On this small island, you can climb halfway up the mountain to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Ha Long Bay. The spectacular sight from above provides an unforgettable experience. Alternatively, you can relax and enjoy swimming at Titop Beach, where the clear, refreshing waters offer the perfect opportunity to cool off.
16:30 – Sunset Party Enjoy complimentary wine, Vietnamese tea, and fresh fruit as the sunset begins to set, painting the sky in deep reds, purples, and yellows. Relax and take in the scenery as we sail back to the harbor.
17:30 – Disembark – Bus We will dock at the harbor, board the buses, and travel back to Hanoi via the high-speed highway, with a quick stop halfway before continuing the journey. 20:30-21:00 – Hotel Drop We sincerely thank you for choosing Arcady Premium Cruise to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The tour guide will drop you off at the front door of your chosen hotel in the Old Quarter. Depending on traffic conditions, the drop-off time may take a little longer. On weekends, drop-off times are often delayed due to road closures for the Walking Street.
