“…. our trip was so wonderful! Couldn’t have asked for better. Our driver was prompt and very polite. The Violet Cruise was excellent. The guides on boat were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful as could be. Our cabin was great and the food superb! we enjoy the activities onboard and do squid fishing at night. Our holiday in Vietnam was worth every cent! Highly recommend you! Thanks again Camellia Tours Vietnam for doing everything for us…”

In the morning our driver will pick you up from your hotel. It is a 3.5 hour drive to Halong Bay and offers views on villages and local life on the way. Our team will welcome you at our lounge and you board the beautiful Violet. A delicious lunch is served right after boarding and you find yourself getting acquainted with the facilities of the boat. The boat is already on its way into the Bay and your discovery can start. Enjoy this World Heri-tage Site during the first cruising hour before we arrive at our first stop.
By tender we set over to Tien Canh Son Island. A mysterious and beautiful place at once. We will visit a cave located on this island for about 15 minutes. After there is time to go for a swim on the beach nearby. The water is warm and to swim in Halong Bay is always a very exciting moment.
The voyage continues to the overnight location at Cong Do and as we cruies in the late afternoon sun you can sharpen your culinary skills at a cooking class offered by our Chef. He will share with you traditional recipes and to remember all steps of preparation you can practice by yourself. At this time – we call it the blue hour – Halong Bay reveals also its most magnificent beauty. Rewind on the sun deck with a drink of your choice and let the moment sink in.
Dinner is served in the restaurant or on the sun deck in a private atmosphere. After dinner the night is yours; kick back on a comfy pillowed chair or watch the stars from the sun deck and inhale the surreal beau-ty whilst sipping a glass of wine. If you feel like, come and join a presentation with more interesting facts and insights on Halong Bay held in our dining area.
We wish you a very good first night in Halong Bay where once upon a time Dragons played with sparkling jewels.

Wake up at dawn to the sounds of the wave and the smell of freshly brewed coffee which is available with pastries in the dining room.
There is a Tai Chi class available again this morning. Follow the moves of our instructor on the sun deck and merge with the surrounding scenery. The ship has to sail shortly back to the pier to obtain the 3rd night permission (unfortunately this is procedure has to be followed by the authorities). Take your time for spa, reading or playing some board games on the sun deck or your private balcony whilst lean back on the comfy sunchairs.
The ship sails for the Surprise Cave, in Vietnam this cave is called Sung Sot. Sung Sot is the biggest cave in Halong Bay with 10,000 square meters. It is a magnificent spot with most beautiful stalagmites and stalac-tites. The further you go inside the bigger it gets. After we arrive at Sung Sot we will disembark to explore this natural sensation for about 60 minutes.
After Luon Laguna we continue the journey to visit a floating pearl farm village. Halong Bay is also a place where pearls are cultivated. We learn how pearls are harvested and processed in a small factory. Back “home” you might like to refresh in your cabin or hit the gym for some expercises. It is as well the perfect timing for a Spa session before the sunset. Dinner is served in the restaurant or on the sun deck in a private atmosphere. Before you retire to your cabin you maybe would like to have some fun with squid fishing together with our crew or simply lean back on one of the loungers and listen to serentiy of Halong Bay.

For early risers (60.30 AM) tea, coffee and pastries are served in the restaurant area. Join our Tai Chi morning class which is a truly one-time experience. Follow the moves of our instructor on the sun deck and merge with the surrounding scenery. The boat continues to sail to Titop Island. We set over by tender to this small interesting landmass in the bay. Prepare yourself for a refreshing morning swim on a sandy beach beneath high rock formations.
If you prefer to be more active walk up to the hill top of Titop Island from where you have stunning views over Halong Bay (it is 400 stone steps up which takes about 20 minutes to the top, a minimal fitness and proper footwear is required). There is also a viewing platform about half-way up with great panoramic views.
Back on board (around 08:45 AM) you may like to shower and freshen up. Now it is time to enjoy the last sailing time back to the harbor. A full breakfast is served in the dining room. Relax on the sun deck or dine in the restaurant during savoring the last cruise moments back to shore.
It is time to say good-bye to this iconic site. Our crew farewells and helps with all your belongings. We hope you enjoyed Halong Bay and memorize cruising with us. Heritage Line and all the staff thank you very much for having you on board. Your car is ready to transfer you back to Hanoi.
