Orchid Classic Cruise 3 Days

Your day starts among the honks and colours of Hanoi and ends with silence, stars, and the soft sway of Orchid Classic resting in Lan Ha Bay.

✨ What You’ll Experience
You leave Hanoi in a comfortable vehicle, watching the city fade into open fields, village roads, and glimpses of karst silhouettes as you approach Halong Bay. At Tuan Chau Marina, a short speedboat ride whisks you over the water to Orchid Classic, where cool towels, a welcome drink, and a gentle briefing set a relaxed rhythm from the first moment. Over lunch, your Orchid Classic Cruise 3 Days adventure truly begins as you sail through the famous seascape of Halong Bay and into the quieter channels of Lan Ha Bay. In the afternoon, you kayak or bamboo-boat around Dark & Bright Caves or Ba Trai Dao, dipping a paddle into emerald water and feeling the scale of the cliffs towering over you. As sunset approaches, you return for a cooking class and Happy Hour on the sundeck, followed by a curated fusion dinner and optional squid fishing before sleep finds you in your private-balcony suite at Tra Bau.

🏨 Overnight: Orchid Classic Cruise — private-balcony cabin anchored in Tra Bau, Lan Ha Bay.

Your final morning offers one more blend of stillness and discovery before you return to the hum of Hanoi with the bay still echoing in your memory.

✨ What You’ll Experience
On your last morning of Orchid Classic Cruise 3 Days, you greet the sunrise with one more Tai Chi session as the bay glows softly around you. After breakfast, you disembark briefly on Cat Ba Island and drive into Cat Ba National Park to explore Trung Trang Cave, a 300m tunnel of sculpted rock and stalactites created over millions of years. Returning to Orchid Classic, you check out and ease into a farewell brunch while the ship traces a graceful line back through Halong Bay. Limestone towers, fishing boats, and islets drift by, giving you just enough time for final photos and quiet reflection. At Tuan Chau Marina, you say goodbye to the crew and travel by road back to Hanoi, carrying the bay’s quiet beauty with you into the rest of your Vietnam journey.
