Rosy Cruise: 2-Day Lan Ha Bay Journey & Cave Discovery

The journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter, typically between 08:00 and 08:30, if transfer services are arranged. A comfortable 2.5-hour drive transports guests to Halong Bay. Upon arrival at Tuan Chau Port (No.26) between 11:30 and 11:45, a streamlined check-in process awaits before a tender boat transfers everyone to the main Rosy Cruise vessel.

Once onboard, a warm welcome drink is served, accompanied by a brief introduction to the ship and essential safety information provided in the restaurant. A delightful lunch follows, enjoyed in the dining room as the cruise gently navigates through the enchanting landscapes of Halong Bay, transitioning into the serene expanse of Lan Ha Bay. The afternoon is dedicated to active exploration in the Tra Bau area, a pristine section of Lan Ha Bay renowned for its over 400 islands.

Guests can choose to either swim in the refreshing emerald waters or paddle a kayak to discover hidden islands and stunning rock formations. Alternatively, simply relax and soak up the sun on the sundeck, breathing in the fresh bay air. After these invigorating water activities, return to the cruise for a "Happy Hour" special (buy two drinks, get one free) and witness a breathtaking sunset. Before dinner, an engaging cooking class offers the chance to learn how to prepare traditional Vietnamese spring rolls. The evening culminates with a delicious set-menu dinner. Afterward, enjoy leisure time onboard, perhaps playing cards or chess, trying your hand at squid fishing, or savoring a drink at the panoramic bar. Guests will spend the night comfortably in their cabins.

Please note: A late arrival after the cruise has departed will incur a 100 USD tender fee.

Begin the final day with an invigorating Tai Chi session on the sundeck, a wonderful way to greet the sunrise over Lan Ha Bay and enhance your well-being. A light breakfast, including tea and coffee, is served in the dining room to energize guests for the day's adventures. The morning's highlight is an exploration of the unique Bright Cave, a natural wonder that opens into a vast lagoon.

Guests have the choice of either kayaking independently to navigate through this majestic cave system or enjoying a serene journey on a bamboo boat expertly rowed by locals, allowing for appreciation of the beautiful stalactites within. Following this memorable excursion, return to the cruise ship to relax and begin packing personal belongings. Check-out procedures, including settling any outstanding bills and returning room keys, will take place around 09:15 at the reception area. A delicious brunch is then served to conclude the onboard dining experience.

After bidding farewell to the Rosy Cruise, guests transfer back to Tuan Chau Port via tender. For those utilizing the arranged transfer services, a comfortable shuttle limousine will transport them back to their hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter, with an estimated arrival time between 15:00 and 15:30. Travelers wishing to go to Cat Ba Island should have previously informed the crew, and they will be taken to Gia Luan Port by a small boat.
