Aspira Cruise Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night (2D1N)

Morning streets in Hanoi slowly give way to open highway, and by lunchtime you’re stepping from city life into suite-level calm on Aspira Cruise as the limestone peaks of Halong Bay rise ahead.

✨ What You’ll Experience
You set off from Hanoi in the morning, leaving scooters and street vendors behind as you follow the expressway towards Halong Bay. At Tuan Chau Marina, the mood changes: cool welcome, luggage handled for you, and a short tender ride out to sleek Aspira Cruise waiting in the bay. After check-in and lunch, you settle into your balcony suite, where every glance outside is sea and stone. As the ship sails into the quieter waters of Lan Ha Bay, you drift between the sun terrace, pool and panoramic gym, watching the cliffs glow softer towards evening. The day closes with a relaxed Vietnamese cooking class, a refined dinner and an easy, unhurried evening on the water.

Soft morning light, mirror-calm water and a gentle paddle or bamboo-boat glide through Lan Ha Bay set the tone before brunch and the journey back to Hanoi.

✨ What You’ll Experience
The day begins quietly as the first light spills over the rocks of Lan Ha Bay, inviting you to the sundeck or gym before breakfast. Between 7:30 and 8:30, you explore the bay up close: either paddling your own kayak or letting a local row a bamboo boat while you sit back and photograph the limestone walls and hidden coves. Back on Aspira Cruise, you shower, finish packing and check out, then enjoy a compact brunch as the ship retraces its way towards Halong Bay and Tuan Chau Marina. By late morning you’re on the highway again, coasting past countryside landscapes, arriving back in Hanoi mid-afternoon with salt still on your skin and the bay fresh in your mind.
