Sailing Itinerary & Activities
08:20 – 08:45: Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from the Hanoi Old Quarter (book in the next step with an additional fee), followed by a transfer to the Indochina Junk lounge, where you can relax before boarding.
Transfer by electric cart to the port, where the crew welcomes you and assists with check-in onboard around 11:50 – 12:15.
After boarding the cruise, you’ll be welcomed with refreshing drinks and a short briefing on the itinerary and safety guidelines. Shortly after, enjoy a delicious seafood lunch as the vessel begins its journey through the tranquil waters of Bai Tu Long Bay.
You’ll explore the tranquil Cong Dam area by kayaking (weather permitting) or tender boat, surrounded by untouched limestone landscapes. There’s also time to swim in the clear waters before returning to the cruise to unwind, whether in the mineral seawater pool, the wellness corner, or with a relaxing spa treatment.
Depending on the season, you can either sit back and admire the sunset as the cruise heads toward its overnight stop (April–September) or take part in a Vietnamese cooking class onboard (October–March).
The day concludes with a delightful dinner served in a peaceful, romantic setting amidst the quiet beauty of the bay.
After dinner, spend your free time trying squid fishing or simply relaxing under the night sky before settling in for a restful overnight stay on the Red Dragon Cruise.
Start your day with a refreshing Tai Chi session on the sundeck, taking in the peaceful morning views of Bai Tu Long Bay.
