Travel privately to the cruise harbour. After settling into the cabin and enjoying lunch, admire the bay and join the activities on your selected vessel’s programme.

Continue the morning cruise activities, enjoy brunch and check out of your cabin. Return to Hanoi, check in and spend the rest of the day relaxing. This overnight stop provides a buffer before travelling to central Vietnam, avoiding a cruise-to-flight connection on the same day. An independent evening walk near the hotel remains an easy option.
