Cycad Cruise Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night | Luxury Bai Tu Long Bay Cruise Experience

DAY 01: HANOI – THIEN CANH SON CAVE – CONG DO (L,D)

Your journey begins as our limousine picks you up from your hotel in Hanoi between 08:00 – 08:30, heading toward the scenic Sunworld International Harbor. Upon arrival around noon, take a short break before transferring by tender to your elegant Cycad Cruise, your floating home in the heart of Halong Bay.

At 12:45, enjoy a warm welcome drink and a brief safety orientation before checking into your comfortable cabin. Soon after, indulge in a delicious fusion buffet lunch as the cruise glides gently through the tranquil waters of Bai Tu Long Bay, revealing a panorama of limestone cliffs and emerald islands.

In the afternoon, the cruise anchors near Thien Canh Son Cave, a stunning natural wonder located on a small limestone mountain. Inside, you’ll marvel at its ancient stalactites and chambers shaped by millions of years. Don’t forget your camera and comfortable shoes for the short hike to the cave entrance.

Continue the adventure with kayaking around limestone islets to immerse yourself in the bay’s pristine beauty. You can also swim, sunbathe, or simply relax on the soft sand beaches. Return to the main boat by 16:30 to refresh before enjoying Happy Hour (17:30 – 19:00) on the sundeck, where you’ll be treated to a canapé and high tea party while the sun sets over the bay.

From 17:00 – 18:00, guests are invited to try traditional Vietnamese long dresses (Áo cổ phục) for memorable photos set against the majestic bay views — a beautiful cultural touch to your Halong experience.

As night falls, savor an elegant fine-dining dinner at 19:30, featuring a fresh lobster and a selection of Vietnamese delicacies prepared by the onboard chef. The evening continues with a mini Vietnamese traditional music show (21:00 – 21:30), where you can relax, listen, and absorb the tranquil atmosphere of the bay under a sky filled with stars. Spend the night surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature.

DAY 02: CONG DO – VUNG VIENG VILLAGE – HANOI (B,L)

Wake up early at 06:30 to join a Tai Chi session on the sundeck — a perfect way to greet the day while watching the first rays of sunlight touch the limestone peaks. Afterward, enjoy a light buffet breakfast with tea, coffee, and pastries.

At 07:45, the tender will transfer you to Vung Vieng Fishing Village, one of the most charming and authentic communities in Bai Tu Long Bay. Here, you’ll board a bamboo rowing boat, rowed by local fishermen, to explore the peaceful village, floating houses, and oyster farms. This visit offers an intimate glimpse into the traditional lifestyle of the bay’s residents.

Return to the cruise by 09:00 as the ship leisurely sails back to the harbor along a different route, allowing you to admire more of Halong’s magnificent scenery. After checking out of your cabin at 09:30, enjoy a traditional Vietnamese set menu lunch at 10:00 before disembarking at Sunworld Harbor around 11:30.

For guests using our shuttle service, the journey back to Hanoi will arrive between 15:00 – 15:30, concluding a memorable Cycad Cruise Halong Bay 2 days voyage filled with natural beauty, relaxation, and authentic Vietnamese culture.
