FULL ITINERARY

Ship Arrival - Halong International Cruise Port

This experience is featured within our curated Halong Bay shore excursions. Upon your ship’s arrival at Halong International Cruise Port, you will be greeted by our professional local guide from Shore Excursions Asia at the port exit. After a brief welcome and orientation, board a comfortable air-conditioned private vehicle and begin a luxury shore excursion planned with flexibility, smooth pacing, and careful attention to your time ashore.

Azure 9 Yacht

Begin your shore excursion with a scenic coastal cruise aboard the modern Azure 9 yacht, following a well-planned morning route along Halong’s waterfront. Departing from the port, the yacht passes Bai Chay Bridge and continues along the coastline, offering open views of the Sun Wheel, Vincom Plaza, and notable landmarks such as the Quang Ninh Museum and the Provincial Exhibition and Planning Complex.

This coastal loop provides a clear overview of Halong’s urban waterfront set against the backdrop of limestone formations offshore. Throughout the cruise, guests experience a relaxed atmosphere with comfortable seating, steady service, and unobstructed coastal views. It is a pleasant introduction to Halong by sea, without the longer sailing times of traditional bay cruises.

(Morning departure, approximately 2 hours; timing arranged to suit cruise schedules.)

Lunch Experience

After disembarking from the yacht, continue your shore excursion with a pre-arranged lunch at a selected local restaurant. The venue is chosen for its convenient location, comfortable setting, and reliable service. This lunch break allows time to rest and enjoy regional cuisine at an easy pace before proceeding to the next part of the excursion.

Scenic Seaplane Flight over Halong Bay

Experience one of Halong’s most exclusive highlights with a scenic seaplane flight operated by Hai Au Aviation. As the aircraft ascends above the bay, enjoy breathtaking aerial views of limestone karsts, emerald waters, and the dramatic coastal landscape below. This approximately 25-minute flight offers a rare perspective of Halong Bay, elevating the shore excursion with a distinctive and memorable luxury experience. Flight timing is selected based on cruise arrival, weather conditions, and seat availability.

Quang Ninh Museum - Curated Cultural Visit

Continue your shore excursion with a curated visit to the striking Quang Ninh Museum, an architectural landmark overlooking the bay. Rather than a full museum walkthrough, your guide will introduce selected exhibitions that highlight the region’s heritage, maritime culture, and contemporary design. This focused cultural experience adds depth and context to the excursion while preserving its relaxed and refined tempo.

Return to Halong International Cruise Port

After the museum visit, enjoy a comfortable transfer back to Halong International Cruise Port. You will arrive with generous buffer time before your ship’s departure, concluding a well-composed luxury shore excursion that balances elegance, exclusivity, and cultural insight.
