Orchid Classic Cruise 2 Days 1 Night

Morning café aromas in Hanoi gently fade into rice fields and open water as you step into the calm of your Orchid Classic Cruise 2 days 1 night journey.

✨ What You’ll Experience
You leave Hanoi behind and glide through the Red River Delta, watching village life unfold outside your window before boarding Orchid Cruises at the marina. A welcome drink and refined lunch set the tone as the ship eases from Halong Bay into the quieter, emerald channels of Lan Ha Bay. In the afternoon, you kayak or drift by bamboo boat beneath the limestone arches near Dark & Bright Caves, or, when conditions allow, swim and relax around Ba Trai Dao’s soft sand and green water. As evening falls, cooking class aromas mingle with sea breeze on the sundeck, followed by an elegant dinner and optional squid fishing under a sky full of stars. Every moment is designed to feel unhurried, warm, and deeply personal.

Soft light spills across Lan Ha Bay as you stretch on deck, then follow the call of forested cliffs and ancient cave chambers before returning to vibrant Hanoi.

✨ What You’ll Experience
Dawn in Lan Ha Bay is calm and luminous; you step onto the sundeck of Orchid Cruises for tai chi, moving gently as the first fishing boats cross the horizon. After a light breakfast, you travel to Cat Ba Island, driving through green hills into Cat Ba National Park to explore Trung Trang Cave, where cool air and sculpted stalactites tell stories carved over millions of years. Back on board, a generous brunch carries you slowly through the karsts of Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay, giving you time to savor the last views of your orchid classic cruise 2 days 1 night. By afternoon you are back in Hanoi, carrying the bay’s quiet beauty into the next chapter of your Vietnam journey.
