ITINERARY

Day 1. Ha Long Bay – Lan Ha Bay – Tra Bau Kayaking

Your journey begins in Hanoi, where guests who book transportation will enjoy a smooth transfer to Tuan Chau Marina, dock 36. After check-in and a warm welcome at the lounge, board the Erina Cruise and settle into your luxurious cabin, complete with bay views and elegant amenities.

As the cruise departs into Ha Long Bay and then glides into the tranquil waters of Lan Ha Bay, lunch is served in the main dining room—a blend of Vietnamese flavors and fresh local seafood that sets the tone for a delicious voyage.

After a bit of rest in your cabin, the ship anchors near Tra Bau, a spectacular site featured in Kong: Skull Island. Here, you’re invited to kayak through quiet lagoons and around limestone formations or simply take a refreshing dip in the clear water. The more relaxed can opt for a soak in the Jacuzzi on the sundeck, taking in the scenery with a cold drink in hand.

As the sun begins to set, head back to the ship for a festive Sunset Party featuring tea, tropical fruits, cakes, and peanuts. Capture the magic of the golden hour on your camera—or just in your heart. Then join the chef on deck for a cooking class, where you’ll learn how to prepare Vietnam’s most beloved starter: fresh spring rolls.

Dinner brings another culinary experience, with a menu that fuses traditional Vietnamese tastes with international flair, served in the glow of ambient lighting as the cruise gently drifts through the bay.

Later in the evening, enjoy squid fishing, board games, or a quiet drink under the stars. Fall asleep to the peaceful rhythm of the sea in your cozy, air-conditioned cabin.

The day’s highlight is a visit to Dark & Bright Cave, where you’ll board a bamboo boat rowed by local villagers. Drift silently through the stone archway and into a calm hidden lagoon—a place of serenity and postcard-perfect views. It’s a slow, soulful moment that invites deep connection with nature.

Back aboard Erina Cruise, return to your cabin, pack your belongings, and enjoy your final onboard meal—a delightful early lunch served as the cruise makes its way back to Tuan Chau Marina.
