Azura Lan Ha Bay Cruise 2 Days 1 Night (2D1N)

The day starts with city streets and ends with music floating across a starlit bay.

✨ What You’ll Experience

Leaving Hanoi, your journey to the coast feels like a gentle peeling away of noise—traffic, tall buildings and neon signs slowly replaced by rice fields, rivers and mountain silhouettes. At Tuan Chau International Marina, you’re welcomed into Waiting Lounge No. 38, a quiet prelude before boarding the tender that takes you out to the sleek, glass-lined profile of Azura. A cool welcome drink and safety briefing fade into the background as lunch appears and the yacht glides past the towering pillars of Halong Bay towards the softer coves of Lan Ha Bay.

By mid-afternoon, Ao Ech Lagoon becomes your playground: the jade water is calm enough to invite even cautious swimmers, and kayaks drift between limestone walls while the floating pool and panoramic deck pool offer a resort-style way to enjoy the sea. As the sun drops, the upper deck transforms into a golden stage—Jacuzzi bubbles, Happy Hour cocktails, and the bay glowing all around you. Later, a fun cooking class, unhurried dinner and nighttime options—from karaoke to squid fishing—let your first day on the yacht end exactly the way you like it.

🏨 Overnight: Azura 6-Star Entertainment Yacht – Anchored in Lan Ha Bay

The bay wakes slowly, and you follow its rhythm all the way back to the city.

✨ What You’ll Experience

The first pale light of morning touches the limestone peaks as you step onto the sundeck; the bay is quiet, broken only by the soft slap of water against the hull. A sunrise Tai Chi session or a solo stretch under the open sky helps you greet the day, followed by a relaxed breakfast while Lan Ha Bay slowly brightens around you. Soon after, the yacht approaches the limestone arches of Dark & Light Cave, where you choose between the intimacy of a kayak or the ease of a bamboo boat rowed by local people. Inside, the water is mirror-calm and the echo of paddles creates a kind of natural music beneath the rock ceiling.

Returning to Azura, you freshen up, complete check-out and enjoy an early farewell lunch as the yacht turns back toward Tuan Chau Marina. The final tender ride feels like leaving a quiet dream, and the return drive to Hanoi gently reintroduces you to the world—this time with the bay’s calm stored somewhere inside you.

🕒 Your Day at a Glance

🥐 07:00–07:30 – Enjoy breakfast while the cruise glides toward the karst corridor leading to Dark & Light Cave.
🛶 07:30–08:30 – Choose your style: paddle your own kayak or settle into a bamboo boat rowed by local people as you explore the tranquil Dark & Light Cave area, framed by dramatic limestone arches.
🧳 09:30 – Return to Azura, pack at a gentle pace and complete the check-out formalities while still soaking up the last views from your balcony or the lounge.
🍜 09:30–09:45 – Sit down for an early lunch, tasting a final selection of dishes as the yacht quietly approaches port.
