Itinerary

Day 1: Hanoi – Paradise Peak (L, D)

7:30 – 8:30 am: Pick up at your hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter

Along the way to Halong Bay, we will stop for a short break in an arts and crafts center. Here you are able to watch the product being made and grab a snack to eat.

11:30 am: Check-in at the Paradise Suites Hotel - Tuan Chau Island

On arrival at Paradise Lounge after the long drive from Hanoi, you will have time to refresh yourself before boarding time.

12:30 pm: Embark on Paradise Peak

Once you have embarked, you will be taken to the restaurant where you’ll meet the Paradise Peak crew. While you enjoy your welcome drink, you will be given a short briefing about your cruise and itinerary. Don’t forget - your butler will take care of your every need while you are on board.

13:00 pm: Lunch in the restaurant

Lunch will be served in the restaurant while cruising the islands and islets of stunning Halong Bay.

14:00 pm: Cruise Halong Bay or enjoy a Spa Treatment

After lunch is the time to contemplate the timeless beauty of Halong Bay as Paradise Peak cruises past the limestone islands, islets, and towers. Alternatively, you may wish to use this time for a spa treatment at Le Parfum Spa*.

14:45 pm: Visit Tung Sau Pearl Farm or kayak

Your first excursion is a visit to Tung Sau Pearl Farm, an area in Halong Bay dedicated to growing pearls and practicing a handmade technique based on Vietnamese tradition and Japanese technology. This is also an ideal destination for kayaking. If this excursion doesn’t take your fancy, stay on board and treat yourself to a delicious afternoon tea.

16:15 pm: Visit Sung Sot Cave

Your next stop is the magnificent Sung Sot Cave. The cave itself is stunning but so are the views on exit, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views across the Bay.

18:00 pm: Pre-Dinner Sunset Cocktails and Cooking Demonstration

The Paradise Peak will anchor overnight at Coconut Tree Island. Indulge in a cocktail or two during Pre-Dinner Sunset Cocktails as you watch the sunset from the sundeck, followed by a demonstration of easy-to-make Vietnamese recipes.

19:30 pm: Royal Bao Dai Dinner

Enjoy your Paradise Royal Dinner your way - dine anywhere you want on the ship: your cabin, the sundeck or the restaurant. It really is up to you. After dinner, the rest of the evening is yours to enjoy: squid fishing, a movie in your cabin, more drinks* on the sundeck or even a spa treatment at Le Parfum Spa.

 

Day 2: Paradise Peak – Hanoi (B, L)

06:30 am: Tai Chi on Sundeck

Awaken your senses with a Tai Chi session on the sundeck before breakfast. Breathe in the fresh morning air, watch the sunrise and feel your body revitalize.

07:30 am: Visit Titop Island

Paradise Peak arrives at “must-see” Titov Island. Hike to the top for stunning views of Halong Bay, or go for a refreshing swim in the cool, emerald waters. For a more relaxing visit, you can people-watch while sipping on a coconut.

08:30 am: Breakfast in the restaurant

Back on board, breakfast will be served in the restaurant or in your cabin as we cruise past Thien Cung and Dau Go Caves and Fighting Cocks Islet. Bill settlement and check-out before we return to Tuan Chau Island.

10:30 am: Disembark at the Tuan Chau Marina

After disembarking from the Paradise Peak, guests who are returning to Hanoi on the Paradise shuttle bus will be served a light lunch.

12:00 am: Return to Hanoi.
