- Day 1
  Hanoi to Halong Bay
  Your journey starts with pickup from Hanoi's Old Quarter between 8:00-8:30 AM. "Pack light for the cruise but bring camera gear - the misty morning views of the bay are incredible, especially in February." The 4-hour drive includes a rest stop but be aware that souvenir shop prices there are higher than in Hanoi. Board your boat around noon and get settled in your balcony cabin before lunch. The afternoon features kayaking through the limestone karsts of Lan Ha Bay which most guests rate as a trip highlight. Winter travelers should pack warm clothes for water activities. Your evening includes a cooking class and happy hour specials before dinner.
- Day 2
  Viet Hai Village & Three Peach Islets
  Join sunrise tai chi on deck (5:30-6:00 AM depending on season) followed by breakfast. Today's main activity is cycling through Viet Hai fishing village. If you prefer not to bike electric carts are available. "The bike ride through Cat Ba rainforest was a highlight - you get to see local life away from tourist crowds." Spend your afternoon kayaking or swimming at Bao Trai Dao (Three Peach Islets). Most travelers recommend booking the full 3-day trip instead of 2 days since this middle day lets you explore at a comfortable pace. End your day with happy hour drinks dinner and optional squid fishing at night.
- Day 3
  Final Morning & Return to Hanoi
  Start with morning tai chi before breakfast and final activities like kayaking at Ao Ech area. Your cruise returns to port around noon getting you back to Hanoi's Old Quarter by 3:00 PM.

The cruise ship itself is really nice, the staff was very nice and helpful, and it was really worth spending 2 nights, so that we had some time to settle and enjoy our time in Ha Long Bay and on the cruise. I think that 1 night would have felt a bit short. The activities we attended were also quite fun. We cycled to Viet Hai Village and had time to do kayaking 3 times while on the cruise! Both me and my girlfriend would absolutely recommend!

The service and amenities on this cruise were truly top notch. The staff and crew really went above and beyond what I expected. My only note is that there was basically no wifi on the boat at all. None of the networks let me so much as get a message out, let alone a picture or a video chat. Guests should be warned ahead, since those that had SIM cards or Wi-Fi pucks were able to access some services theoughout the cruise.
