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, and 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 expansive
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. o­nce back o­n board 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. Accommodation: Violet Cruise.

After breakfast, transfer with a private crew and a support boat to our day-trip cruise to the bay’s most untouched areas for kayaking.
Enjoy swimming in deliciously cool, emerald-green water; basking o­n quiet beaches; and exploring tunnels and caves cut into the rock. Soak up the vibrant atmosphere as we cruise around fishing villages, or take in things at your own pace in a kayak.
Lunch will be prepared by a private chef and served o­n board. Late afternoon return to the Ginger Cruise for Sunset and Dinner.
Evening, Relax and stay on Violet Cruise. Accommodation: Violet Cruise.

Greet the day with a morning Tai Chi exercise with an opportunity to view the sunrise over the bay. After breakfast, visit beautiful limestone grotto then back to the boat for a final glimpse of the Halong Bay while cruising back to the dock. Car is awaiting for you there and transfer you back to your hotel or residence in Hanoi (on request ). End of service.
