Cruise Itinerary & Route

08:00-08:45—Hotel Pick up

Our English-speaking tour guide will pick up guests from various hotels in Hanoi's Old Quarter. We try to make the pick-ups as timely as possible, but with morning traffic in the Old Quarter and many hotels to collect from, this time is approximate. Please be ready to help expedite this process.

10:30-10:45—Short Lavatory Break

Quick rest stop halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack in case you missed breakfast (our driver appreciates a coffee break as well!) before we get back on the road and finish the drive.

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 awaiting your arrival with a big smile.

12:00-13:30—Lunch On Board

The cruise departs from Tuan Chau harbor for a joyful journey to discover the beauty of the world heritage Ha Long Bay. Along the way, you will have a chance to pass through the grandeur of the legendary bay with thousands of limestone islands, such as Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and especially Thumb Rock—a beautiful limestone islet rising from seawater in the shape of a giant thumb. Mother Nature has put Thumb Rock here to send a message of goodness to every passenger cruising in the ancient bay.

Have a huge buffet lunch with a variety of dishes, including seafood and Vietnamese food.

13:30-14:30 – Explore Surprise (Sung Sot) Cave

Stop at Bo Hon Island. Our tour guide will take you to explore Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave, the largest and the most beautiful cave in Halong Bay. After about 200 steps under the forest canopy, the entrance of the cave shows up. A paradise appears in front of you. You will discover the cave in about 45 minutes before getting back to the cruise (For other tourists whom can’t walk much, you can stay on cruise, chilling out on the sundeck or soaking in the jacuzzi.)

14:30-15:30—Kayaking

Cruise heads to Luon Cave. In this area, it’s time for you to heat up with kayaking (about 30 minutes kayaking) or enjoy the beautiful scenery at Hang Luon (Creepy Cave) with the rowboat—which is rowed by the local people in Ha Long Bay.

15:30-16:30—Titop Island—Titop Beach—Titop Mountain

Stop at Titop Island. On this small island, you can climb halfway up the mountain to enjoy a panoramic view of Ha Long Bay. Looking down from high above gives you a wonderful sensation; at the same time, it offers you a spectacular view of every corner of the bay.

17:00 – Sunset Party

Complimentary: wine, Vietnamese teas, fresh fruit, and little cakes to keep you satisfied until you return to Hanoi. While the sunset starts to drop and the sky fills with deep reds, purples, and yellows, enjoy the return sail back.

18:00—Disembark—Bus

We dock at the harbor, get back onto the buses, and cruise down the high-speed highway. A quick stop halfway, and back to Hanoi

20:30-21:00—Hotel Drop

We thank you for giving Arcady Premium Cruise the chance to deliver you a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The tour guide will deliver you to the front door of the hotel of your choice in the Old Quarter.

*On weekends, some roads will not allow vehicles to make room for the walking street; therefore, our buses will drop you off at the closest and suitable point in the Old Quarter instead.
