Named for the Greek goddess of heaven, Hera Cruises offers passengers a personal slice of the divine while sliding gracefully through an ancient land. Hera Cruises is one of Halong Bay’s luxury cruises, but one that takes the experience to the next level, providing 5-star amenities and services that give the voyage a feeling of total opulence and serenity. Personal butlers provide another avenue for your relaxation, waiting on your every whim with excellent English skills and a consistently friendly attitude.
As far as facilities go, the Hera Cruise remains head-and-shoulders above the rest. Five different types of suites contain excellent design features and universal balconies, with a spa, gym, two restaurants and a resplendent sundeck crowning the top.
Let the Hera Cruise take you into heaven.
7:30 – 8.00 From your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, our driver will meet you and transfer you eastwards for about 3.5 hours, ending at Tuan Chau harbour in Halong Bay.
12:15 - 12:30 The luxury begins with a homemade welcome drink, presented to you as you step onto the majestic Hera Cruise for the first time.
13:15 – 14:30 In the Lily Restaurant, an a la carte lunch will set you up for a beautiful day of cruising.
15:30 – 16:45 During a serene cruise through the bay, you will have two options through which to explore the majesty of Halong Bay from a closer angle.
Option 1: We can take a local rowing boat ride around Cua Van fishing village or opt instead to kayak around it ourselves.
Option 2: We can visit the dramatic Tien Ong Cave and find another world of illuminated stalactite and stalagmite formations.
17:00 – 17:45 Upon returning to the Hera Cruise, you will be presented with our afternoon tea set, featuring many hot beverages and a selection of small side dishes for accompaniment.
17:00 – 18:45 In the Iris Restaurant, our chefs will put on an excellent cooking demonstration. After this, happy hour begins at the bar.
19:00 The theme of our dinner tonight is that of a ‘floating restaurant’, so indulge yourself here and prepare for a tranquil night of quiet activities such as squid fishing or a relaxing session at the onboard spa.
