What to Expect?
Morning: Check-In and Departure
Guests check in at Ha Long International Cruise Port between 9:00 and 9:30 AM and board the Luna Halong cruise, where the crew handles a brief welcome and safety orientation before departure at 10:00 AM. The cruise then begins its voyage through Halong Bay’s limestone seascape.
International Buffet Lunch
From 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, guests are seated at the onboard restaurant for a buffet lunch featuring close to 100 dishes across Asian and European cuisine, a step up from the set seafood menus typical of standard day cruises, and a good fit for groups with mixed tastes.
Luon Cave and Optional Kayaking
Between 12:30 and 1:30 PM, the cruise stops near Luon Cave, where guests can join a guided visit or opt into kayaking through the cave’s calm, cliff-lined lagoon for an additional charge. Both options offer a close-up look at one of the bay’s quieter corners.
Sung Sot Cave Exploration
From 1:45 to 2:45 PM, the ship docks so guests can explore Sung Sot Cave, widely regarded as one of the largest and most impressive caves in Halong Bay. Its chambers are filled with dramatic stalactite and stalagmite formations built up over thousands of years.
Ti Top Island & Beach
Between 3:00 and 3:45 PM, guests visit Ti Top Island, where the choice is simple: hike to the summit for a panoramic view over the bay, or relax and swim at the island’s white sandy beach.
Afternoon Tea and Sunset
From 4:00 to 5:00 PM, the cruise winds down with afternoon tea and live music on deck, timed to coincide with sunset over the limestone karsts, a highlight for guests who prefer a slower, more scenic close to the day.
Return to Port
The cruise arrives back at Ha Long International Cruise Port at 5:00 PM, concluding the program.
