Welcome to Hanoi! Upon arrival at Noi Bai International Airport, our local driver will meet you and transfer you to your hotel for check-in. Your room will be available from 2:00 PM onwards. Enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.

Begin your day with a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Complex, where you will walk through serene gardens and historic landmarks. Visit the beautiful Presidential Palace, then stop by the modest Stilt House where Ho Chi Minh lived. Nearby is the One Pillar Pagoda, a small but famous temple nestled in a lotus pond.

Then go to the Temple of Literature, built almost a thousand years ago to honor Confucius. This lovely complex was Vietnam’s national university at one point, and its courtyards still have an air of reverence for study and tradition.

In the afternoon, visit Hoa Lo Prison, also known as the “Hanoi Hilton.” This museum offers an emotive insight into Vietnam’s history under colonial occupation and the prisoners’ lives during the Vietnam War.

Next, head to Hanoi’s Old Quarter, where the city is very lively. Each street was named for what was being sold on it, like silk on Hang Gai or silver on Hang Bac. You’ll be dropped off at Dong Xuan Market, the biggest city market, where residents buy everything from spices to household goods.

Return to your hotel late in the afternoon. Overnight in Hanoi. Meals are at your own expense.

Once you arrive at the port, step aboard your cruise, where the friendly crew will greet you with a cool welcome drink. A delicious lunch will be served as the boat sails through towering limestone formations and emerald waters.

In the afternoon, you can immerse yourself in optional activities like exploring a local fishing village or taking part in a Vietnamese cooking class, depending on the cruise’s itinerary. As the day winds down, return to the ship and relax on the sundeck or in your cabin. Later, enjoy a cozy dinner on board and fall asleep to the gentle sway of the bay beneath you.

After breakfast and hotel check-out in Hanoi, you’ll journey around 200 kilometers to Halong Port. On arrival, board your cruise and be warmly welcomed by the crew with a refreshing drink. While gliding past the bay’s dramatic limestone karsts, enjoy a delicious onboard lunch prepared by the chef.
