Day 1: HANOI � GOT HARBOUR � TRUNG TRANG CAVE � TRA BAU - LAN HA BAY (Lunch and dinner included)
09:10 The driver and bus will arrive at your hotel in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. From here, we will take the drive eastwards, arriving at Got Harbour at about 11:30. Enjoy a welcome tea at the Peony Lounge here.

12:15 We board the Peony Cruise for the first time. Receive another welcome drink and explore the ship�s fantastic features.

13:00 Once you have checked into your luxury cabin, head to the restaurant for your first delicious meal of the trip, a buffet lunch comprised of international fare. The area outside the window glides past as we dine, revealing the first of Lan Ha Bay�s magnificent limestone towers and the calm waters over which we skate.

15:00 After a few hours of cruising and a highly scenic bus transfer, we arrive at Trung Trang Cave on Cat Ba Island, by far the largest island in the entire Halong Bay area. Once arrived, we ascend the stairs and have a look around the fascinating karst cavern, finding exquisite examples of rock formations carved over tens of thousands of years.

17:00 Back aboard the Peony Cruise, we sail over to the area of Tra Bau, located on the mountainous border with Cat Ba Island. Here, we will be able to enjoy the quietness of an area that is rarely visited on Lan Ha Bay cruises, using our time to kayak and swim around placid waters in the shadows of statuesque limestone towers.

17:45 We re-join the Peony Cruise for the last time today and prepare ourselves for a magical sunset. During this time, our chef will give us a demonstration on Vietnamese cooking techniques through a cooking class. Happy hour accompanies this at the bar while the sun makes its slow descent beyond the tree-topped mountains.

Option: From this point onwards, our massage service is available. If you would like to make use of our spa, then please contact the cruise manager.

19:30 We have a beautiful, candlelit dinner to carry us through to the evening, served in the beautiful dining room as the stars sparkle outside.

21:30 You have a choice of evening entertainment after this. Try some squid fishing from the tender boat or join us for movie night in the restaurant.

Day 2: LAN HA BAY � VIET HAI VILLAGE � LAN HA BAY (Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)
06:15 Rise early this morning in order to join us for a tai chi session on the top deck of the Peony Cruise. Breakfast is served shortly after this as we gaze out of the dining room windows into the beautiful morning light of the bay.

08:30 We board the day boat after this and head straight back to Cat Ba Island, this time docking at Viet Hai village on the island�s remote eastern part. We will take the time here to talk with the locals of the village and see their idyllic life lived in beautiful huts amongst rice paddies. We will climb onto bicycles and enjoy the surrounding area of Viet Hai, through jungles and around caves.

For passengers who don�t want to cycle, there is the option of an electric car service for a small additional fee.

13:00 After this, we return to the day boat, enjoying a fabulous lunch and continuing around the quiet areas of the bay, finding spaces to swim in total peace.

15:00 The Peony Cruise will welcome us back on board after this, where we finish the afternoon of cruising on the sundeck. Another cooking class and happy hour at the bar will provide the activities ahead of the perfect red sunset over Lan Ha Bay.

Option: From this point onwards, our massage service is available. If you would like to make use of our spa, then please contact the cruise manager.

19:30 Another delicious local dinner is served in the magical and romantic evening atmosphere that daily envelops Lan Ha Bay.

21:30 Your choices of evening entertainment include squid fishing, watching movies, heading to the bar or retiring early to your cabin to enjoy the peace of this wonderful location.

07:45 We head over to the Dark & Bright Caves after breakfast, where the beauty of Lan Ha Bay is at its most tranquil. In kayaks, we head through the short corridor of water comprising the Bright Cave, emerging in an enchanting lake with tall rock cliffs surrounding us. Enjoy the peace here on the glistening surface of the water.
