Extended Indochine Premium Halong Bay Cruise

Two nights in Halong Bay, with a full day spent away from the main cruise route, travelling deeper into the bay on a smaller boat.

This itinerary gives you time and access to get to know Halong Bay properly. The first day introduces Halong Bay’s headline scenery, limestone islands, caves, and sheltered lagoons, while the second takes you beyond the main route into quieter areas. What makes it work is the balance: structured excursions when they matter, and enough time in between to take in the setting without feeling rushed.

The ship is one of the larger vessels in the bay, with 37 cabins spread across three decks, so there’s space to move around and more than one place to sit, both indoors and out. Cabins feature floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies, keeping the view close at hand throughout. On board, there is a restaurant, a bar, sun decks, lounge areas, and a small pool, giving you options beyond a single shared space. If you’re mulling over this trip for your family, it’s helpful to know that there are interconnecting Junior Suites, which makes a practical choice for a family of four travelling together without needing to split up.
