Elite Of The Seas Halong Bay 3 Days 2 Nights (3D2N

Hanoi ➝ Lan Ha Bay | First Glimpse of Karsts on Elite Of The Seas

Your Vietnam journey slows to cruise pace today as you leave the rhythm of Hanoi Old Quarter behind and step aboard Elite Of The Seas for your first golden sunset over Lan Ha Bay.

✨ What You’ll Experience
You begin the day in the heart of Hanoi, watching the city soften as you drive toward the coast on the expressway, trading scooters for rice fields. A quick pause at a local stop lets you stretch, sip a drink, and feel the anticipation build before the bay appears. Boarding Elite Of The Seas, you are welcomed into a light-filled lobby, then settle into your private suite as limestone peaks rise outside your balcony on this modern Halong Bay luxury cruise. Afternoon is all about water and wellness: swim in the open sea or the floating pool, or glide by kayak across the calm emerald surface of Ao Ech Lagoon. As the sky turns amber, you capture the scenery with photos, join a cooking class, toast Happy Hour on deck, and close the night with a gourmet dinner and optional squid fishing under a blanket of stars.
