The boat sets sail to cruise into the Bay. Find yourself getting acquainted with the facilities onboard.
A delectable buffet lunch with a feast of choices is served in the restaurant. Savor your first hours in Ha Long
Bay on the sun deck by simply letting your eyes wander around the scenery.

We arrive at the area of Cua Van, a floating fishing village. From here we start to explore a cave, named
Tien Ong, and the floating fishing village. Tien Ong is the most recently explored cavem, Showing evidence
of human civilization dating back to 10,000 – 8,000 BC. The cave is just 5 meters above sea level, 50 meters
deep and covers 1,000 square meters. Our guide takes you on a loop though the cave and explains about the
historical findings and the cave’s particulars.

The voyage continues to the fishing village. With a small bamboo boat rowed by the local people we move
around in the calm sea of this secluded area and gain an insight into the village life. You can also paddle by
yourself in a kayak, which is a perfect way to freely move around in the calm area and experience the village
life.

After returning to the boat we sail to the overnight mooring area Luon Bo. During this time Ha Long Bay
reveals its most magnificent beauty – called the “blue hour”. Rewind on the sun deck with a drink of your
choice and let this moment sink in. During sailing, our chef demonstrates the preparation of particular Vietnamese
dishes. Feel free to join and practice by yourself.

Dinner is served in the restaurant either à la carte or buffet style. Afterwards the night is yours to kick back
and abundantly enjoy these unique moments amidst a surreal landscape. A presentation with interesting
facts and insights on Ha Long Bay is also offered after dinner in the dining area.

Have a good night sleep in Ha Long Bay where once upon a time dragons played with sparkling jewels.

Wake up at dawn to the lapping of the waves and the smell of freshly brewed coffee, which is available with
pastries in the dining room. Join the Tai Chi morning class on the sun deck which is a unique experience. By
following the moves of our instructor you merge with the surrounding scenery.

By tender boat we transfer to our day boat named “Sunset”. It is a cozy, smaller vessel on which we will
discover the hidden charms of Ha Long Bay. Breakfast is served as Sunset sails for the Surprise Cave, in
Vietnamese “Sung Sot”. Sung Sot is the biggest cave in Ha Long Bay with over 10,000 square meters. It is a
magnificent site with the most beautiful stalagmites and stalactites. The further you go inside, the bigger it
gets. We explore this natural sensation for about 60 minutes.

Once back on the Sunset ship, take some time to simply relax. Lean back on your sunbed while Sunset
smoothly sails further into the Bay. Here you have the chance for another close encounter with the fairylike
Ha Long Bay. Via kayak you can paddle through this bizarre water landscape. The cliffs stretch vertically
out of the water and you feel a sense of freedom meandering through this green medley of water and treetopped
islets. Back on board lunch is served in the restaurant.

Sunset continues the journey to a floating pearl farm. Ha Long Bay is also a place where pearls are cultivated.
In a small factory we learn how pearls are harvested and processed. After the visit, we leisurely sail back to
the mothership. Back “home” you have time for spa treatments or sunbathing while we sail to the spot.
Dinner is served in the dinning room around seven o’clock.

Before you retrieve to your cabin, you might like to have some fun squid fishing with our crew, or simply
