Rita Cruise Halong Bay 3 Days 2 Nights (3D2N)

Highways fade behind you as the limestone peaks of Halong Bay slowly rise on the horizon and your floating resort, Rita Cruise, becomes home for the night.

✨ What You’ll Experience
You leave the buzz of Hanoi and follow a smooth highway east, watching rice fields and river deltas drift past your window before Halong Bay appears like a stone forest in the sea. Boarding Rita Cruise, you are welcomed with a cool drink and warm smiles as the ship turns toward the quieter channels of Lan Ha Bay. Lunch unfolds as a moving panorama of islets and coves, then the afternoon brings you close to the water at Dark & Bright Cave by kayak or bamboo boat. As the sun lowers, you return to an elegant pool deck, sunset tea, and a relaxed cooking class before dinner. The night ends however you choose – squid fishing off the side, a cocktail in the lounge, or simply listening to the water against the hull from your cabin.

The day stretches wide as you step onto a smaller boat, leaving the main channels behind to find quiet villages, hidden coves and long views of untouched Lan Ha Bay.

✨ What You’ll Experience
Wake to soft light over Lan Ha Bay and a leisurely breakfast before boarding a smaller day-boat designed for exploration. You cruise past scattered islets to Viet Hai Village, cycling or riding an electric car through rice fields and jungle-framed paths inside Cat Ba National Park. After a local-style pause, lunch is served on the day-boat as you head toward the tunnel-like Tai Keo Cave and the dreamy lagoons around Ba Trai Dao. Swimming and relaxing in sheltered bays, you return to Rita Cruise in the late afternoon for a soak in the pool or jacuzzi, sunset tea, and a second cooking class under the open sky. Evening falls with another unhurried dinner and free time to enjoy the bar, deck, or your cabin with the windows cracked to the sound of the bay.
