Overview

The beautiful and unique interior design of the Violet Cruise hints at the specialised service you will receive no a voyage with us. We are one of the leading and most experienced luxury cruises in Halong Bay and have been providing outstanding touring experiences for our guests for over a decade. That passion and history has bled into the walls of the Violet Cruise, giving our passengers the feeling of a ship steeped in tradition. To this end, you will find burnished wood running throughout the boat, in the cabins and their private balconies as well as the sundeck. We promote a social atmosphere on the Violet Cruise through our use of just six cabins, giving you a chance to enjoy the company of other passengers while still retaining plenty of personal space on board. Because of this, the Violet Cruise is also one of the top rated private cruises in Halong Bay.

 Day 1: Hanoi – Halong Bay (L/D)

Enjoy the magical feeling as the Violet Cruise sets sail and our staff lay out the delicious buffet lunch in the dining room.

We start the excursions with a visit to Cua Van fishing village, a colourful community living on the water, easy to explore via kayak or a sampan boat rowed by one of the friendly residents. 

Tien Ong Cave is the next stop. This amazing cave has several beautiful rock formations within, some of which feature evidence of human habitation from as far back as 10,000 years ago.

We return to the Violet Cruise for sunset and a cooking class by our talented chefs.

The dining room will host a fabulous dinner, after which you can relax into the evening in any way that seems fit. Try squid fishing or maybe take some relaxed drinks at the bar.

 Meals:  Lunch, Dinner

 Day 2: Halong Bay – Hanoi (B/L)

We greet the day the Asian way, with tai chi on the beautiful wooden deck that crowns the top of the Violet Cruise.

A light breakfast in the dining room will prepare us for the morning ahead.

We spend our morning hours at Titop Island, either relaxing at ground level on the sand or in the sea, or climbing to the peak of the island for an amazing panorama of the scene around.

Savour the final brunch as we approach the harbour, we will be disembark when reaching Tuan Chau.

We are very grateful to all of our customers for their visits. We hope that you enjoyed yours!

 Day 1: Hanoi – Halong Bay (L/D)

We begin the tour by boarding the Violet Cruise at Tuan Chau Harbour. Head to the sundeck to get some great pictures before lunch is served downstairs in the dining room.

Our first stop is Cua Van fishing village, a cluster of floating houses atop rafts tethered to the mountains of the bay. We will explore around here via kayaks or a sampan boat rowed by a resident.

In Tien Ong cave, we find an ancient system that contains evidence of human activity from about 10,000 years ago.

Relax onto the deck of the Violet Cruise as we begin cruising over to the area of Lon Bo, where we will be dropping anchor for the evening. A cooking class will accompany our cruise over there.

We will feature an excellent dinner in the dining room, all before you take your pick of our evening activities, including squid fishing or playing board games with the crew.

 Day 2: Ha Long Bay (B/L/D)

The new day in Halong Bay starts for us atop the sundeck, where a tai chi class will introduce us to the natural beauty on display.

We enjoy a full breakfast once we have transferred onto the nimble day boat, ‘The Sunset’. Our first stop will be the Amazing Cave, which features some of the most impressive stalactites and stalagmites in the bay.

After this, we head to one of the quieter areas of the bay to enjoy some private swimming and kayaking activities.

Halong Bay’s only floating pearl farm will introduce us to the processing of this gem from raw material to precious jewellery.

We will have the rest of the afternoon aboard the Violet Cruise, where we will be able to relax on the sundeck, in the cabins or by enjoying drinks at the bar.

Dinner will again be served in beautiful style in the dining room.

You will have a few more choices of post-dinner activities to keep you entertained before bed. Enjoy drinks at the bar or simply retire to your cabin for a night of relaxation.

 Day 3: Ha Long Bay - Hanoi (B/L)

Breakfast snacks and tai chi will be the call of order for the morning of our final day in Halong Bay.

We head to Titop Island this morning to enjoy the wealth of activities available here. These include relaxing on the beach or swimming the ocean, with trekking to the top of the island and its viewing platform available for our more active passengers.

On the way back to Tuan Chau harbour, we take a final brunch and enjoy the consistently gorgeous scenery en route.

At the harbour, we leave the Violet Cruise where it stands and take any onwards travel from the Violet waiting lounge.

This is where your time aboard the Violet Cruise will draw to its conclusion. Thank you for your visit and we hope to get the same pleasure of hosting you in the future.
