Itinerary Details

Day 1: Hanoi – Halong Bay – Sung Sot Cave – Titop Island

07:45–08:30
Start your adventure with a comfy pickup right at your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter (for guests using the Limousine or shuttle bus). Lean back, relax, and enjoy the scenic ride to the magical world of Ha Long Bay.

11:30–12:00
Arrive at Tuan Chau Marina, where the friendly Hera Cruise team welcomes you with warm smiles. After a quick and easy check-in, get ready to board your luxurious floating home.

12:00
Step aboard the Hera Classic Boutique Cruise with a cool drink and chilled towel in hand—just the right touch to kick off your getaway. As the cruise begins gliding across the emerald waters, soak in the majestic sights of Ha Long Bay. Thousands of limestone islands rise around you like something out of a dream. Lunch is served in the elegant onboard restaurant as you cruise toward Sung Sot Cave and Titop Island.

14:30
Time to explore Sung Sot Cave, one of the most stunning and iconic caves in the bay. Wander through its massive chambers and marvel at the natural rock formations. The climb to the entrance is a little hike under leafy canopies, but the reward is pure magic.

16:00
Next stop: Titop Island. You can hike up to the viewpoint for jaw-dropping panoramic views or take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water. It’s the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

17:30–18:00
Back on board, it’s time for the Sunset Party & Vietnamese Cooking Class. Sip traditional tea or coffee on the sundeck as the golden sun dips behind the islands—this view will stay with you forever. Then, join the chef in learning how to make floating rice cakes, a simple but delicious Vietnamese treat.

17:30–18:30
Happy Hour kicks in! Buy 2 drinks, get 1 free—cheers to that!

19:30
Dinner is served. If the weather’s on your side, you’ll dine under the stars. If not, the indoor restaurant is just as cozy and charming.

21:30
The evening is yours. Whether you’re into herbal foot baths (yes, they’re free in your cabin!), a soothing massage (extra fee), dancing, squid fishing, or sipping cocktails under the stars at the Sky Bar—there’s something for everyone. As the cruise anchors in a quiet corner of the bay, the night settles in, peaceful and still. It’s the kind of calm that makes you forget the world for a while.

Day 2: Luon Cave – Halong Bay

06:15
Wake up to the peaceful sound of waves and start your morning with a Tai Chi session on the sundeck. With fresh air, a gentle breeze, and the sun rising over the limestone cliffs, it’s the kind of moment you’ll want to soak in forever.

06:30–07:00
Enjoy a light breakfast to kick off your day—hot coffee, fragrant tea, sweet cakes, fresh fruit, and even a bowl of steaming Vietnamese pho or made-to-order eggs at the egg station. Simple pleasures, done right.

07:30
The cruise heads to the stunning Luon Cave area. Here’s your chance to paddle through calm waters on a kayak or hop on a bamboo raft as you glide beneath towering cliffs and ancient rock arches. It’s quiet, it’s magical, and it’s one of those “wow” moments you won’t forget.

08:30–09:30
Back on board, take your time to chill—whether it’s lounging on the sundeck, snapping a few last photos of Ha Long Bay’s natural wonders, or just relaxing in your cabin before departure.

09:30
Check-out time. Please leave your luggage outside your cabin and drop off your room key at the front desk. Our crew will handle everything from there.

10:00
Head to the restaurant on the 2nd floor for a buffet-style early lunch. It’s a great way to wrap up the trip and fuel up before heading back. Settle any remaining bills with our staff while you dine.

11:00
Arrive back at Tuan Chau Marina. If you’re returning by bus, enjoy a short bike ride around Tuan Chau Island—a last chance to explore before the journey ends.

And just like that, your 2-day adventure with Hera Classic Boutique Cruise comes to a close. We’re truly grateful to have had you with us, and we hope to welcome you aboard again soon. Until next time—safe travels and see you again!
