Ha Long Bay Day Cruise from Hanoi – Selina Cruise 168

الاستقبال من الفندق

A full day on Ha Long Bay from Hanoi aboard Selina Cruise 168: lunch while cruising among the limestone islands, Luon Cave by kayak or bamboo boat, Sung Sot Cave, Ti Top Island and a sunset party on deck.

Ha Long Bay is the kind of place people have seen in photos long before they arrive – and it still takes the breath away. Nearly two thousand limestone islands rise straight out of jade water, and this UNESCO World Heritage site is close enough to Hanoi for a single, unhurried day.

You leave the Old Quarter in the morning and take the expressway to the coast. Selina Cruise 168 is a new 5-star luxury boat with a Jacuzzi pool, a smart sun deck, air-conditioning and Wi-Fi in the restaurant area – the new version of a large boat that carries up to 168 guests. Lunch is served as the boat slips between the islands, then the bay opens up stop by stop: the still water inside Luon Cave, the great chambers of Sung Sot, and the view from the top of Ti Top Island.

As the light turns gold, everyone gathers on deck for the sunset party before the ride back to Hanoi.

Still water
Luon Cave by kayak or bamboo boat

The view

لحظات لا تُنسى

Through the cave mouth
Paddling out of Luon Cave, the sound of the boat drops away and the hidden lake opens up: cliffs on every side, trees clinging to the peaks, and only the dip of the oars.
Above the bay
From the top of Ti Top Island the islands spread out in every direction – the view most people picture when they think of Ha Long Bay.
Sunset on deck
The light softens, the islands turn to silhouettes, and the sunset party begins: wine, afternoon tea, cakes and seasonal fruit, with live music on the top-deck stage.

لماذا نحب هذه الرحلة

It packs the best of the bay into one day without rushing it: about six hours on the water, a cave you paddle through, a cave you walk through, a beach and a viewpoint – and Selina Cruise 168 makes the hours between them easy.
