Day 1: Welcome aboard - Halong Cruise (L, D)
|
Leave Hanoi by private car/van at 8:30am arriving at the jetty around 12:30pm (on request)
Enjoy a warm welcome aboard the Halong Violet, sit back and drink in the spectacular vista during our passage into this magical bay. Once lunch has been served and taste buds and tummies thoroughly satisfied, we weigh anchor near a secluded beach. Take a short trek to a nearby summit to enjoy the panoramic view of the bay with Violet’s golden sails arcing elegantly against the skyline before splashing down for a swim,or recline on Violet’s wicker sun loungers on our expensive wooden sundeck. Later that afternoon, we visit a local fishing village where you have the opportunity to interact with some of the more colorful locals who have lived and fished in the bay for almost three generations. At sunset, slip into a kayak or board a bamboo row boat to explore water tunnels and discover pristine coral reef in a scenic lagoon setting. Back to the ship, watch the shimmering sun slip down the sky as you sip expertly-blended cocktails as an aperitif for Violet’s extravagant evening meal.
