On our way to Halong Bay, we will set sail and enjoy lunch in the luxury restaurant of Aspira Cruises while observing the picturesque canals.
15:00 - 16:00: We reach Dark and Lights Cave, where you can kayak or ride a bamboo boat rowed by locals. Then, return to Aspira Cruises and swim in the nearby area of the ship.
16:30 - 17:30: When you go back to Aspira Cruises, you can watch the beautiful sunset over the Gulf of Tonkin and relax in the seasonal Jacuzzi. You can also enjoy a free sunset party and our Happy Hour Deal at all the bars on the cruise.

You can also get a massage on the ship, which is a luxurious service. (Please talk to the Cruise Manager on the boat about making reservations.) In particular, cruises have fitness centers that are always free to use and are set up on high decks with great views.
