Your journey begins at the Tuan Chau Marina where you are warmly welcomed aboard Hermes Cruise. Upon boarding, enjoy a refreshing welcome drink and a short safety briefing before the cruise sets sail into the emerald waters of Halong Bay. A gourmet lunch is served as the limestone karsts slowly unveil themselves through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant.

In the afternoon, the cruise anchors at the Sung Sot Cave, known as the largest and most awe-inspiring grotto in the bay. You’ll explore the magnificent chambers adorned with ancient stalactites before continuing to Titop Island, where you may ascend to the peak for a panoramic view of the bay or swim in the turquoise waters at the base.

As the sun begins to dip, a golden hour cocktail party awaits on the sundeck. Let the breeze brush your skin as you sip wine and sample Vietnamese canapés. Later, gather in the restaurant for a sophisticated dinner. The night concludes with optional activities — try your hand at night squid fishing, unwind at the bar, or simply admire the moonlight shimmering on the bay from your private balcony.
