Hanoi - Haiphong - Lan Ha Bay - Viet Hai Village (L, D)

Activities: Get on board, Welcome Drink, Lunch, Visit Viet Hai Village, Cooking Class and then Enjoy the views and chatting on bar after dinner.

Your luxurious floating home sets sail around noontime. Enjoy a welcome drink upon boarding while being acquainted with the facilities on board during the welcome briefing. We start our unique journey of exploring one of the new wonders of nature – Lan Ha Bay. We enjoy lunch in Ginger’s light-flooded dining room offering panoramic views of the passing scenery.

Along the cruise we can see an ancient lighthouse, built by the French over 100 years ago. We head deeper and further south into the maze of Lan Ha Bay. Lan Ha Bay is actually a part of Halong Bay which was just recently opened to the public. Relax on the sun deck and soak in the aura of the fascinating scenery that emanates from surreal seascape. During this cruising time there is enough time to enjoy our onboard activities. Take a plunge in the pool or let us pamper you with a selection of fine treatments and massages in our large Lady Ginger spa.

We reach the landing spot of Viet Hai Village on Cat Ba Island where we hop on bikes (electric car available) for an active tour along small-paved roads towards a village nestled in a valley. Meet and greet local inhabitants doing their daily work, see their homes and the village school.

Back on board, our chef is ready and prepared for an interactive cooking class in the open kitchen at the restaurant. Learn about local ingredients, preparation and cooking of particular dishes to imitate easily at home. We arrive at a tranquil anchor spot for the night. A hidden place to reminisce on the day’s adventures and enjoy cocktails under the stars. Dinner is served in the dining room.

You may like to hang out at our bar after with a digestif or pay a visit to the evening cinema which is set up in the dining area. Kick back with your favourite drink in probably the most unusual cinema you have ever visited. Or - have some fun with our team joining them for squid fishing before retiring to your room.

Lan Ha Bay - Tra Bau - Haiphong – Hanoi (B, Br)

Activities: Visit Tra Bau - a secluded spot for morning excursion, Get back to Ginger Cruise, Have a brunch and Drive back to Hanoi.

Wake up early and join our Tai Chi session on the sun deck to ease mind and muscles with the first rays of the sun touching the water. Coffee, tea and breakfast pastries await in the dining room to start the new day.

Ginger anchors up and we cruise to Frog Lake, a secluded spot which is perfect for our morning excursion. In kayaks or bamboo boats we enjoy a close encounter and discovery of the bay. Paddling through the dreamlike landscape with treetopped islands, you will feel a sense of freedom and harmony with nature that you have never experiences before.

Back on board a hearty breakfast is served in the diningroom (or on request served to your room) before we start our journey back to the pier where we arrive around 11 o’clock in the morning.

Savor the last cruise moments of this unique journey relaxing on comfy sun beds on the terrace deck. We hope you enjoyed cruising with us in the Hidden World of Lan Ha Bay.

Cruise of A Lifetime

My family went on a three-day cruise, which was great! The rooms were lovely. We stayed in the Elegance Suite, which included a beautiful soaking tub and a balcony. The food and service were outstanding, especially Lain, Brian, and Jenny, who went out of their way to help you in every way they could. Ha Long Bay is stunning, and it looks exactly like it does in movies and tourist literature. ..More
