Overview

The Arcady Premium Ha Long Bay 5-Star Day Cruise begins with a hotel pickup in Hanoi's Old Quarter between 7:45 AM and 8:40 AM. After a short rest stop en route, the group arrives at Tuan Chau Marina around 11:45 AM to board the modern 5-star cruise boat. The cruise departs shortly after, sailing through Ha Long Bay and passing notable limestone formations such as Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and Thumb Rock. From noon to 1:30 PM, guests enjoy a buffet lunch on board featuring a variety of Vietnamese dishes including seafood and vegetarian options. After lunch, the boat stops at Bo Hon Island for a visit to Sung Sot Cave, the largest cave in the bay. Guests can explore the cave for about 45 minutes, which requires climbing approximately 200 steps through a forested area; those who prefer to remain on board can relax on the sundeck. Next, the cruise reaches Luon Cave, where guests may kayak for about 30 minutes or take a bamboo rowboat trip around Hang Luon Cave, operated by local rowers. The boat then anchors at Titop Island for about 90 minutes. Visitors can climb halfway up Titop Mountain for panoramic views of the bay or swim at Titop Beach. Around 4:30 PM, a sunset party takes place on board, offering complimentary wine, Vietnamese tea, and fresh fruit while sailing back toward the harbor. The cruise includes access to a Jacuzzi on board for relaxation during the trip. The boat docks by 5:30 PM, and the group returns to Hanoi by bus with a brief stop along the way. Hotel drop-off occurs between 8:30 PM and 9:00 PM, depending on traffic. Included in the tour are entrance fees valid for bookings confirmed from February 1, 2026, buffet lunch, kayaking, bamboo boat trip, sunset party, transportation from Hanoi if selected, Jacuzzi access, and all taxes and fees.
