Day 1 - 3
Day 3 - 5

  • Ninh Binh

    At a Glance

    From Hanoi, you’ll be whisked southwards to where a hidden gem awaits: Ninh Binh. Marvel at the dramatically contrasting landscape to the city as enormous limestone mountains soar out of the ground throughout the lush, green countryside. Your base for the next two nights is the charming Tam Coc Gardens, a gorgeous boutique haven set amidst lush rice paddies and offering up a laid-back atmosphere and seclusion after the hustle and bustle of Hanoi. Your days here will be spent exploring the picture-perfect landscapes of the countryside on foot, by bike and on the tranquil waterways. Live the history of Vietnam’s first capital, Hoa Lu, by visiting ancient tombs and citadel ruins before gliding through the countryside on a leisurely bike ride, as you pass local villages. Then, you’ll embark on a gentle boat ride and walk through the majestic Galaxy Cave and marvel at the natural artistry of the stalactites and stalagmites that populate it.

  • Halong Bay

    Now for the most iconic destination of your epic adventure as you return northwards to the tranquil, emerald waters of Ha Long Bay.

With just six suites on board, this intimate and personalised experience is perfect for couples – opt for an Imperial Suite for that added romance and be treated to your very own jacuzzi. Be astonished by the natural beauty of the bay as your boat meanders gently between the structures, uncovering secret caves, peaceful lagoons on which to kayak and hidden beaches for you to feel sand between your toes, as you listen for howler monkeys and tropical birds around you. After a day of exploring, be treated to a delectable dinner of freshly caught seafood and local ingredients in the dining room on board.
