HIDDEN WONDERS OF LAN HA BAY

THIS SAILING IS ONLY AVAILABLE AS PART OF A TAILOR-MADE JOURNEY IN VIETNAM, NOT AS A STAND-ALONE CRUISE.

Relax on board Ginger, a 12-suite ship with swimming pool and spa, and one of the first boats to cruise the emerald waters of Lan Ha Bay in the Gulf of Tonkin. Ginger is a floating boutique hotel with high staff to guest ratio to ensure a top level of service and commanding stunning views from the private balconies in each suite. This cruise accesses areas that many of the Halong Bay cruises don't reach before they have to turn back.

HIGHLIGHTS

Cruising the tranquil waters of Lan Ha Bay - far from the crowds in Halong Bay.
Exploring Cat Ba Island by bicycle or on foot.
Kayaking in Frog Lake.

Arrive
Day 1 Hai Phong - Lan Ha Bay

Lan Ha Bay sits in the Gulf of Tonkin, only recently opened to the public. This hidden world offers the same magical scenery as Halong Bay, iconic limestone karsts and tiny islets, but without the crowds. Ginger is amongst the first boats to cruise these waters, offering 12 suites (each with its own balcony), swimming pool, spa, restaurant and bar.
Board Ginger at the pier in Hai Phong at 12h00 and enjoy lunch as you set sail. Relax on the sun deck, enjoy the pool or test the Lady Ginger Spa as you head deeper and further south into the maze of Lan Ha Bay. At Viet Hai Village, you can hop on bikes (or e-buggies) to explore the local village and school and meet the inhabitants. Back on board chef will entertain you with a cooking demonstration, before cocktails are served under the stars ahead of dinner in the dining room. Before retiring to bed there is squid fishing or a film in the cinema for those that wish.

Overnight: Ginger
Day 2 Lan Ha Bay - Hai Phong

Enjoy an early session of Tai Chi on the sun deck before Ginger ups anchor and cruises to Frog Lake, a secluded spot perfect for kayaking or swimming. Feel a sense of freedom as you paddle through the lake with a backdrop of tree-topped islands. Back on board a hearty breakfast is served as you cruise back into harbour, arriving at 11h00 and from where you can continue your onward journey.
