Violet Cruise Junior Suite Halong Bay 2D1N

Guests departing from Hanoi should leave at 9:00 AM for a private transfer or between 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM for the shuttle bus, arriving at Tuan Chau Marina around 12:00 PM. Transportation services are available upon request.

Upon boarding, guests are introduced to the facilities as the cruise sets sail into Halong Bay. The journey begins with a serene experience on the sun deck, offering breathtaking views of the bay’s stunning scenery. The cruise arrives at Cua Van, one of the last remaining floating fishing villages in Halong Bay, where some families and fishermen continue their traditional fishing and aquaculture activities. A local rower navigates a bamboo boat through the floating village, allowing visitors to observe daily life in this secluded area. For those seeking a more active experience, kayaks are available for rent, providing an opportunity to explore the bay at their own pace.

Cua Van also houses the Cua Van Cultural Center, where local residents preserve and share the village’s rich history. The center features archaeological artifacts and photographs that illustrate the heritage of Cua Van. From there, a tender transports guests to Tien Ong Cave, a site of historical significance with evidence of human civilization dating back to 10,000–8,000 BC. Fossil remains within the cave suggest that it was once part of the mainland before Halong Bay transformed into the marine wonder seen today. The cave extends 50 meters deep and covers approximately 1,000 square meters. Guided by an expert, visitors explore the cavern while learning fascinating details about its history.

After returning to the vessel, the cruise sails toward the overnight mooring area. As the sun sets during the enchanting "blue hour," Halong Bay reveals its most magical beauty. Guests can relax on the sun deck with a refreshing drink, fully immersing themselves in the tranquil surroundings. During this time, the onboard chef presents a demonstration of classic Vietnamese dishes, inviting guests to participate and take home easy yet flavorful recipes.

Following a brief period of relaxation, dinner is served. Those cruising aboard Heritage Line Jasmine can indulge in a terrace deck barbecue feast accompanied by a buffet or set menu. Guests on the luxurious Heritage Line Violet are treated to an à la carte menu featuring a selection of delectable international and local cuisine.

For those eager to deepen their knowledge of Halong Bay, the onboard guide offers an engaging presentation about the bay’s unique and intriguing history after dinner. Alternatively, guests can participate in a fun-filled squid fishing activity, guided by the ship’s staff.

The evening is best spent unwinding, savoring the enchanting landscapes, and cherishing the extraordinary experience before drifting into a peaceful sleep in the heart of Halong Bay—a place where, according to legend, heavenly dragons once scattered glistening jewels into the sea.
