Overview

The epitome of class can be found aboard the Ginger Cruise as it skims the emerald water of Lan Ha Bay. Its gigantic golden sails announce its presence on the jade waters, finding an equally grand home amongst the forested mountains that soar right out of the sea. Large windows allow for the perfect viewing opportunities, as does every cabin’s balcony and the sun deck atop the Ginger Cruise. 
Our unique itinerary gives you the best of Lan Ha Bay amongst the Cat Ba Archipelago, a verdant green area that comprises a beautiful part of the legendary Halong Bay. The peace and quiet here can be absorbed in full, either from Ginger Cruise’s swimming pool, sunbeds or 270°-view restaurant.

 Day 1: Hanoi - Lan Ha Bay (L/D)

Once aboard the beautiful Ginger Cruise, prepare yourself for sailing past the sea of vertically jutting limestone columns. A welcome drink followed by lunch will accompany your first few views of the bay.

Take in the views as we pass Da Chong Islet with its 100 year-old French lighthouse, arriving at Viet Hai Village on Cat Ba Island for our first excursion. We will cycle around flat rice paddies and amidst tropical jungle, returning to the village afterwards to speak to some of the locals.

Head back to the Ginger Cruise for an informative and fun cooking demonstration, led by our chef. Head to the bar for some pre-dinner drinks and then have a resplendent evening meal in the dining room.

For evening entertainment, the bar will be open and the crew will be available to set you up for squid fishing on the tender boat.

 Meals:  Lunch, Dinner

 Day 2: Lan Ha Bay - Hanoi (B/L)

On the upper deck this morning a tai chi class will be held to get the new day underway. Have a light breakfast downstairs after this as we begin the day’s cruising.

We weigh anchor and begin our transit to Tra Bau, a fantastically beautiful area and one that enjoys much peace and quiet. We can explore the area via a kayak or a sampan boat, giving us a chance to marvel at the beauty around us.

Enjoy a full brunch in the dining room once we have re-boarded the Ginger Cruise. Savour the last of Lan Ha Bay’s tremendous atmosphere as we head back to the mainland harbour.

We will drop you off at the harbour at 11am, allowing you to make your onwards journey.

Thanks for joining the Ginger Cruise for this tour. I was a pleasure to have you on board and we would love to have that pleasure again someday!
