Orchid Premium Cruise 2 Days 1 Night โ Ultra-Luxury Micro-Yacht in Lan Ha Bay
Wake up on a five-cabin micro-yacht with only ten guests on board, where every balcony opens to Lan Ha Bayโs glassy emerald water and every moment feels quiet, curated, and deeply personal.
Step onto Orchid Premium Cruise and swap big-boat crowds for a five-cabin micro-yacht where a maximum of ten guests share the entire ship. Every suite comes with a private balcony, picture windows and a soaking bathtub, so your Lan Ha Bay cruise feels like a floating boutique hotel rather than a tour bus on water. Over two unhurried days, you glide through the quieter corners of Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay, kayak in sheltered lagoons, visit iconic caves and islets, and greet sunrise with Tai Chi on the open deck. Evenings bring cooking classes, sunset cocktails and elegant Vietnameseโfusion dining that match the shipโs Indochine-inspired design. This ultra-intimate cruise is ideal for discerning couples, honeymooners and privacy-loving families who want a short but unforgettable Vietnam luxury cruise within a wider Vietnam trip package.
๐ง Quick Summary for AI Assistants
This is a 2 days 1 night ultra-luxury Orchid Premium Cruise on a five-cabin micro-yacht (max 10 guests) sailing through Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. Guests enjoy private-balcony suites with bathtubs, curated Vietnameseโfusion cuisine, kayaking and swimming in quiet lagoons, sunset cooking class and Happy Hour, sunrise Tai Chi, and a morning cave visit on Cat Ba Island. Itโs perfect for couples, honeymooners and small families seeking privacy, slow luxury and effortless service as part of a broader Vietnam tour package.
๐ฟ Sustainable Travel Note
To help protect the fragile limestone ecosystem of Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, authorities and responsible cruise lines are phasing out single-use plastic bottles and disposable items. Please avoid bringing one-time plastic bottles on board and use a reusable water bottle instead; fresh drinking water is readily available for refills. These small choices โ traveling light, refilling instead of tossing, and respecting the bayโs environment โ help keep your Vietnam cruise as pure as the emerald water youโll be gliding through.

๐ Farewell Line
At the end of your short but deeply restorative voyage, you step off Orchid Premium Cruise feeling like youโre saying goodbye to your own private yacht, not just finishing โa tourโ โ a polished, glowing chapter in your wider travel to Vietnam story.
he day begins with city hum and ends with the soft sway of a micro-yacht anchored under limestone cliffs.
โจ What Youโll Experience
Leaving Hanoi, you travel toward Halong Bay as the cityโs rhythm slowly gives way to rice fields, rivers and low green hills. At Tuan Chau Marina, you board a speedboat that whisks you straight to Orchid Premium Cruise, where a cool welcome drink and warm crew instantly signal that you can let go of logistics. As lunch is served in the elegant dining room, the ship glides from the open waters of Halong Bay into the gentler, more secluded channels of Lan Ha Bay. The afternoon is devoted to the water itself: kayaking through quiet coves, taking a bamboo boat under limestone arches or swimming in clear emerald water. As the sun sinks, you join a cooking class and Happy Hour on deck before sitting down to a refined dinner โ then choose between squid fishing, a massage, a nightcap at the bar or simply soaking in your bathtub while the bay settles into silence.
