12:30 – Tender Transfer to Golden Cruise Vessel

The moment you step onto the tender boat, the world begins to shift. The hum of the mainland fades behind you, replaced by the gentle rhythm of water lapping against the hull. As the boat cuts through the emerald waves of Halong Bay, your senses awaken. Limestone towers rise from the sea like ancient monuments. The sky stretches wide, its reflection flickering across the surface in shimmering shades of green and gold.

This short ride isn’t just a transfer. It’s a slow unveiling of what awaits aboard the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night. As the vessel comes into view, your heart might skip a beat. With its polished woodwork, sweeping decks, and stately silhouette, the Golden Cruise feels more like a floating boutique hotel than a boat. The anticipation builds as the staff waves from the gangway, ready to welcome you aboard with grace and warmth.

From this moment on, you’re not just traveling. You’re entering an experience — one of elegance, calm, and curated discovery. Let us at Asia Travel Links help you begin this journey with complete confidence and ease. We’re here to ensure every step, from shore to ship, is unforgettable.

Scenic Tender Ride to Golden Cruise

There’s something timeless about gliding across Halong Bay by boat. The tender ride from the pier to the Golden Cruise may be brief, but it’s unforgettable — a cinematic prologue to the days ahead.

Panoramic Views of Halong Bay’s Limestone Giants: As you cruise gently toward the ship, colossal rock formations rise from the water like statues from the sea. These towering karsts, shaped by wind and time, offer a first glimpse of the wonders that await.
Tranquil Waters Beneath a Vast Sky: The bay is still and glistening, mirroring the clouds overhead. The movement of the boat is smooth and calming — perfect for setting down your bags, lifting your camera, and soaking in your surroundings.
Cooling Breezes and Gentle Waves: A soft wind brushes your face as the salt air fills your lungs. The sound of water lightly tapping the boat’s edge creates a sense of peace that signals the real world has been left behind.
Iconic First Look at the Golden Cruise: As the vessel comes into view, it commands attention — elegant and gleaming in the sun. Its structure blends tradition and luxury, making your arrival feel cinematic and ceremonial.
Photographic Moments from Every Angle: This is your first opportunity to snap breathtaking shots — both of the seascape and the approaching ship. Every view, every wave, becomes part of your story.

The transfer ends, but its emotional imprint lingers. Let Asia Travel Links take care of the details so you can focus on moments like this — the ones you’ll remember long after the voyage ends.

Welcome Drink Aboard the Golden Cruise

The moment your feet touch the deck, you’re greeted by smiling faces and a sense of calm that washes over you like the bay breeze. A tray appears — crystal glasses filled with something cool, citrusy, and aromatic. Your first sip of the welcome drink is light and refreshing, a signal that you’ve truly arrived.

Cold, Fragrant Citrus Elixir: Served in elegant glassware, this welcome drink blends tropical fruit with herbal notes, instantly cooling and re-energizing you after your transfer.
Graceful Hospitality from the Crew: The staff doesn’t just serve a drink — they offer warmth, attention, and genuine smiles. Every gesture feels thoughtful, personal, and polished.
Cooling Towels and Ocean Views: Along with your drink, you’re handed a chilled towel. The sea stretches in every direction, and the ship rocks gently beneath you — a soothing reminder that you’ve entered a world apart.
Quiet Luxury in the Details: From the gleam of the deck to the soft background music, every element is intentional — a soft-spoken luxury that doesn’t need to announce itself.
Space to Pause, Breathe, and Take It All In: This moment of arrival is yours. No rush. Just deep breaths, full glasses, and the opening chapter of something extraordinary.

From this very first impression, the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night proves it’s more than a journey — it’s a transformation. Trust Asia Travel Links to make sure this moment happens exactly as it should.

12:45 – 13:00 – Unwind Before Lunch in Style

After boarding the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night, the pace immediately softens. There’s no hurry here — just time to breathe in the bay air and let the journey settle in. This brief window between arrival and lunch offers the first chance to truly take in your surroundings. It’s not just about pausing — it’s about soaking up luxury from the moment you step aboard.

The sun deck becomes your stage for unwinding. With panoramic views of Halong Bay, gentle music floating through the air, and plush seating under shaded canopies, this isn’t a transition — it’s an experience in itself. The crew invites you to relax, recharge, and start your cruise the way you deserve: in comfort and quiet sophistication.

This moment sets the tone. With Asia Travel Links, every part of your itinerary is thoughtfully considered — even the pause before lunch is purposeful, beautiful, and yours to enjoy.

Relaxation Time on the Upper Deck

The upper deck of the Golden Cruise isn’t just a place — it’s a mindset. Here, time slows, the views open wide, and every detail encourages you to let go and settle in.

Panoramic Vistas of Halong Bay: The limestone karsts unfold in every direction, creating a shifting canvas of beauty as the ship glides forward. With each passing moment, the view becomes more immersive.
Lounge Chairs Designed for Comfort: Deep-cushioned loungers invite you to recline, sip a drink, and enjoy the shade or sun — whichever suits your mood. Nothing interrupts the comfort.
Soothing Background Music: Gentle instrumental music plays softly in the background, creating a peaceful ambiance that enhances the stillness without overpowering it.

Fresh Sea Air and Freedom: With open space and fresh air all around you, the deck becomes your personal retreat — one that redefines what luxury means.

Every luxury cruise should begin with a breath, a view, and a moment like this. We at Asia Travel Links ensure you’ll experience it exactly this way — stress-free, serene, and unforgettable.

13:00 – 14:30 – Asian Fusion Lunch at Golden Palace Restaurant

The Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night doesn’t just showcase Halong Bay — it brings the flavors of the region to your table. As you settle in for lunch at the Golden Palace Restaurant, you’re greeted not only with a curated menu but with a culinary introduction that blends traditional Vietnamese flavors with elegant presentation and international finesse.

The dining room itself is a statement of luxury. Soft lighting, sweeping views of the bay, and attentive service set the tone. Every dish is crafted to impress — not only visually, but in every bite. The kitchen’s attention to detail ensures that your first meal aboard is more than sustenance. It’s a celebration.

This is what dining at sea should feel like — inspired, refined, and effortlessly enjoyable. And when you book with Asia Travel Links, we make sure your dietary needs and preferences are communicated in advance, giving you peace of mind to simply enjoy the journey.

Asian Menu at the Golden Palace Restaurant

At the heart of your afternoon lies a meal that blends artistry and authenticity — the Golden Palace Restaurant welcomes you with flavors as impressive as the view.

Fusion of Vietnamese and Asian Cuisine: Dishes are crafted using local herbs, spices, and fresh produce, offering a balance of flavor, texture, and tradition with a contemporary twist.

This isn’t a meal — it’s the first act in a voyage of indulgence. Book through Asia Travel Links and we’ll ensure your table is set for something extraordinary.

14:30 – 15:30 – Scenic Cruising Past Iconic Halong Bay Islets

The ship glides forward, its path slicing gently through the still waters of Halong Bay. This hour is yours — a quiet journey through one of the world’s most spectacular seascapes. You don’t need to speak. The scenery does that for you. Every turn reveals a new wonder, each more surreal than the last. Here, legends rise from the sea in stone, shaped by time and storytelling.

From the sundeck or your cabin balcony aboard the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night, you’ll witness formations that are more than rocks — they’re icons of Vietnamese folklore. Some tower like guardians; others hide secrets in their shadows. The boat slows now and then, giving you time to marvel, to photograph, to simply stare.

As you pass each landmark, you’ll find yourself swept into the rhythm of the bay. It’s a journey best savored slowly, and it’s one we at Asia Travel Links ensure is timed perfectly — so you won’t miss a thing.

Dinh Huong Islet – Guardian of the Bay

As the cruise sails further into the heart of Halong Bay, one of the first great silhouettes to emerge from the water is Dinh Huong Islet — shaped like a large incense burner placed on a stone altar.

Striking Resemblance to an Incense Burner: Rising alone from the sea, this islet is unmistakable in form — a sacred object made from stone, standing silently in spiritual tribute.
Symbol of Protection and Respect: In Vietnamese culture, incense is burned to honor ancestors. Locals believe Dinh Huong protects the bay, watching over those who sail its waters.
Photography Moment for Storytellers: With its singular form and cultural depth, this islet draws attention from every camera lens on deck.
Spiritual Start to the Cruise’s Midday Journey: The timing of its appearance feels poetic — a gentle reminder of respect and balance as your voyage deepens.
Recognizable from Vietnamese Currency: You may even recognize it from the back of the 200,000 VND note — another nod to its national importance.

This is your first true brush with the myths of the bay. When you cruise with us at Asia Travel Links, we make sure every legend comes with the space and time it deserves.

Cho Da Islet – The Market Stone

Next comes Cho Da Islet, whose name translates as “The Market Stone” — a curious title that invites stories as much as sightseeing.

Flat, Broad-Layered Rock Formation: Unlike the jagged islets surrounding it, Cho Da looks like stacked stone plates — a natural shelf carved by wind and waves.
Inspired by Ancient Trading Stories: Locals say its form reminds them of a market stall, where people once exchanged goods long before Halong became a tourist haven.
A Quiet Islet with Subtle Majesty: It doesn’t tower like others, but its simplicity is elegant — a reminder that not all treasures shout.
Popular Among Local Boatmen: Many pause here for a break, as the bay widens and the waters around Cho Da remain calm and inviting.
Evokes the Spirit of Halong’s Heritage: Cho Da whispers stories of the past — trade, community, and life lived on the sea.

It’s details like this that make your Halong Bay itinerary feel less like a list and more like a living, breathing legend. That’s what we at Asia Travel Links believe makes all the difference.

Ga Choi Islet – The Fighting Cocks

Few sights are as iconic as Ga Choi Islet — known worldwide as the Fighting Cocks, and captured in nearly every brochure and postcard.

Two Rock Pillars in a Timeless Duel: The formations lean toward one another, forever frozen in mid-sparring stance. They rise roughly 10 meters from the water, facing off in perfect balance.
A Symbol of Love and Loyalty: While most call them roosters in battle, some see a pair locked in eternal companionship — a softer story beneath the stone.
Featured in Countless Travel Magazines: Ga Choi is often described as the visual emblem of Halong Bay, recognized by travelers the world over.
A Favorite for Photographers and Poets Alike: It’s hard not to pause here — the lighting, the angle, the meaning. All of it draws you in.
Framed Perfectly from the Deck: You don’t need to jostle for a good shot. The ship slows and pivots gently so you can take it all in.

This moment reminds you why you chose this path — for beauty, for stories, for something you can’t quite describe but know you’ll never forget. And with Asia Travel Links, these moments are guaranteed, never rushed.

Sung Sot Cave Area – Arrival & Anticipation

As the ship approaches the Sung Sot Cave alignment, there’s a shift in mood. The cliffs rise higher, the bay narrows slightly, and a hush seems to fall over the deck.

Towering Limestone Walls Flank the Bay: Here, the landscape grows more dramatic — ancient cliffs streaked with moss, rising like sentinels on either side.
Hints of Hidden Chambers Within: Though the cave visit is reserved for later, this pass gives you a sense of the scale and grandeur waiting inside.
A Natural Pause in the Journey: The boat slows, allowing time to take in the textures, the echoes, the cool scent of shaded water.
Framed for Anticipation, Not Action: You won’t enter the cave just yet — but this slow cruise-by builds the kind of curiosity that only deepens the next day’s experience.
Prime Spot for Quiet Reflection: Whether you’re snapping photos or simply watching in silence, this passage through the Sung Sot area invites stillness and thought.

At Asia Travel Links, we understand that wonder is a journey — not just a destination. That’s why we’ve built your itinerary to unfold one breathtaking layer at a time.

16:00 – 17:30 – Beach Leisure & Adventure at Titop Island

As the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night anchors near Titop Island, the energy subtly shifts. After an afternoon of gentle cruising and sightseeing, it's time to get closer — to the water, the sand, and the soul of Halong Bay. A small tender brings you ashore, where the island unfolds in peaceful beauty. You step onto the beach and immediately feel it: the soft crunch beneath your feet, the warmth of the late afternoon sun, and the clear, turquoise water beckoning just a few steps away.

There’s no rush here. Whether you swim, relax, or explore, this stop is about freedom. The beach is quiet, well-kept, and framed by limestone cliffs. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time in the best way possible. And as always, Asia Travel Links ensures your visit is well-timed and smoothly organized — no waiting, no crowds, just you and the moment.

Swimming in the Clear Waters of Titop Beach

The waters off Titop Beach are as clear as glass, warm under the sun, and surrounded by jagged cliffs that rise like a natural amphitheater.

Gentle Waves and Shallow Entry Points: The beach is ideal for both experienced swimmers and beginners, with calm waters and a gradual slope into the bay.
Soft Golden Sand Underfoot: Unlike many rocky beaches in the region, Titop offers smooth, fine-grain sand that’s perfect for walking barefoot or simply lying down and soaking up the sun.
Designated Swimming Areas for Safety: Floating buoys mark the zone, keeping swimmers safely within view and away from passing boats. Lifeguards are often present during cruise stopovers.
Peaceful, Uncrowded Ambience: With limited access and controlled docking, the beach remains tranquil — perfect for unwinding or snapping a photo in solitude.
Optional Hike for Panoramic Views: If you're feeling adventurous, a stone staircase leads to a summit with a breathtaking 360-degree view of Halong Bay.

There’s something magical about swimming in a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and with Asia Travel Links, you’ll have the chance to savor that moment in full.

17:30 – 18:30 – Cultural Cruise Moments & Sunset Specials

As golden light spills across the water, the Golden Cruise transforms. The decks glow, the sea quiets, and a new rhythm takes hold. Now is when the cruise shifts from sightseeing to something more intimate — a celebration of culture, connection, and indulgence.

This hour is designed to engage your senses. Whether you’re folding spring rolls on the sundeck or clinking glasses as the sun dips below the horizon, you’ll find yourself immersed in a fusion of local flavor and luxury. These moments bring people together. They’re relaxed, yet full of energy — the perfect prelude to the evening ahead.

Every detail is timed to perfection, and every activity is hosted with care. At Asia Travel Links, we make sure you not only see Halong Bay, but taste it, feel it, and share it with others.

Cooking Demonstration on the Sundeck

The sun casts a warm glow as you gather on the upper deck. Aprons are handed out, steam rises from covered pots, and the scent of garlic and herbs fills the air. It’s time to cook — Vietnamese-style.

Guided by Professional Onboard Chefs: The demonstration is led by culinary staff with deep knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine. Their friendly, step-by-step approach makes it easy for everyone to follow along.
Hands-On Preparation of Local Dishes: Guests learn to prepare traditional staples like fresh spring rolls, green papaya salad, or pho — depending on the day’s menu.
Cultural Insights Shared Along the Way: Each dish is a story. As you chop, mix, and roll, you’ll hear about the origins, symbolism, and regional variations behind the food.
Tastings and Shared Moments: Once prepared, dishes are plated and served. There’s laughter, comparison, and a genuine sense of camaraderie around the table.
Perfect Setting Against a Dimming Sky: The sundeck becomes a living postcard — ingredients, conversation, and horizon all blending together.

Cultural immersion doesn’t have to happen in a museum. Sometimes, it happens over a cutting board, with fresh herbs in hand. And that’s exactly the kind of moment Asia Travel Links delivers.

Sunset Happy Hour with Bay Views

There’s no hour quite like this. The ship coasts gently through the bay, the sky painted in gold and tangerine. It’s time to raise a glass and let the magic unfold.

Buy 2, Get 1 Free Cocktail Offer: Guests enjoy an enticing happy hour special — order two drinks and receive a third on the house. It’s the perfect excuse to try something new or share with a friend.
Expertly Mixed Local and International Cocktails: From Vietnamese-inspired mojitos to classic gin and tonics, the bar offers a full menu of choices, all served with elegance.

Casual Conversations and New Connections: This hour invites interaction. Guests mingle, laugh, and swap travel stories under soft lighting and chilled music.
Smooth Transition into Evening Events: The relaxed mood naturally sets the stage for dinner and entertainment to follow.

Moments like this make you stop and think — this is why you came. And with Asia Travel Links, every sunset is framed for memory, not missed in motion.

19:00 – 21:00 – Western Gourmet Dinner Experience

Evening on the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night brings with it a shift in tempo — from vibrant exploration to refined indulgence. As the last traces of daylight vanish beyond the bay’s limestone cliffs, the Golden Palace Restaurant welcomes you into a space of soft light, white linen, and polished silver. Here, dinner isn’t a meal. It’s an experience that engages the senses and soothes the soul.

You’re not just dining. You’re celebrating the day’s journey with a meal crafted to impress. Every course tells a story — of culinary artistry, cultural fusion, and five-star service at sea. With curated wine pairings, impeccable presentation, and quiet conversations humming in the background, the dining room becomes a sanctuary of flavor and elegance.

This is the elevated dining moment you imagined when choosing a Halong Bay luxury cruise — and with Asia Travel Links, you’ll enjoy it all without missing a single detail.

Multi-Course Western Dinner at Golden Palace

Fine Dining with a Multi-Course Format: From elegant starters to delicate desserts, each course is thoughtfully timed and perfectly plated to reflect Western culinary techniques with Vietnamese finesse.

21:00 – 23:00 – Nighttime Leisure & Onboard Indulgences

The night deepens, but your journey continues. On the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night, the hours after dinner are not an afterthought — they’re an invitation. Now is when the ship becomes quiet and personal. You’re not on a schedule. You’re free to drift — into a film, a massage, a nightcap, or simply your own thoughts beneath the stars.

Soft lighting lines the walkways. Music plays faintly in the background. The bay, now in shadows, feels even more mysterious. These final hours are about choice, comfort, and calm. With a range of understated indulgences, you’ll find your own rhythm — whether it’s in a cozy cinema chair or under the night sky.

We at Asia Travel Links ensure this part of the experience is just as special as the rest — perfectly unstructured, beautifully designed.

23:00 – End of Day One

The final lights dim across the decks of the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night. The laughter fades, the music softens, and the bay begins to whisper. This is the moment when everything slows. The energy of the day gives way to stillness. You’ve explored, indulged, and connected. Now, it's time to rest — not just your body, but your spirit.

Anchored deep within the protected heart of Halong Bay, the ship gently rocks with the tide. Outside your window, moonlight casts silver trails across the water. Inside, silence reigns. It's the perfect closure to a day curated for wonder.

Itinerary 1 - Day 2: Sunrise Serenity & Farewell to Halong Bay’s Hidden Wonders

Day: 2

Places You’ll See

The second day aboard the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night begins not with noise or bustle, but with stillness. As the first rays of light slip across the horizon, the bay transforms into a quiet, glimmering canvas. The ship rests gently in the calm waters of Halong Bay, surrounded by limestone cliffs now painted in soft gold. It's a morning designed for reflection — one that nourishes the mind, body, and memory.

There’s a grace to how the day unfolds. A wellness ritual on the sundeck. A warm breakfast served as the bay slowly stirs to life. A bamboo boat ride through hidden corners of the landscape. These aren’t just activities — they’re parting gifts from the bay, a final embrace before you return to the world beyond the water.

From wellness to wonder, the flow of experiences has been seamless. And that’s by design. When you choose the Golden Cruise, you're not just booking an itinerary — you're investing in presence, peace, and quality.

06:30 – Morning Wellness Routine on the Sundeck

The world feels different at dawn in Halong Bay. The air is cool, the sky is just beginning to blush, and the water is still enough to reflect it all. As you step onto the upper deck of the Golden Cruise, you step into a ritual of peace — a wellness routine created for clarity, calm, and quiet joy.

This hour isn't hurried. It's not structured with tight agendas. Instead, it's a choice: to wake gently, move mindfully, and let the morning set the tone for everything that follows. Whether you're stretching on a yoga mat, lifting light weights, or simply breathing in the morning mist, this is your moment to ground yourself in the beauty that surrounds you.

And with Asia Travel Links, every detail — from your timing to your towel — is taken care of. So all you have to do is rise.

Gym Access with a View of Halong Bay

Fitness at sea doesn’t require intensity — just intention. And the onboard gym offers both.

Early Morning Access for Energized Starts: Open from dawn, the gym is available for those who prefer a traditional workout before breakfast.
Panoramic Views While You Move: Large windows frame the bay as you walk the treadmill or cycle in place — a rare chance to exercise with such a breathtaking backdrop.
Compact Yet Well-Equipped Space: With cardio machines, free weights, and mats, the gym accommodates light routines without crowding.
Quiet and Unobtrusive: Limited foot traffic at this hour means you often have the space to yourself — perfect for stretching, meditation, or mindful movement.
Start the Day with Balance: Even a short session can uplift your energy and enhance your appreciation of the surrounding serenity.

Wellness isn’t only a luxury here — it’s part of the flow. And at Asia Travel Links, we make sure that flow begins the moment you wake.

Tai Chi Session Under the Rising Sun

Few things are as grounding as sunrise over Halong Bay — unless you’re flowing through Tai Chi beneath that very sky.

Led by Skilled Onboard Instructors: The Tai Chi class is gentle and inclusive, designed for all skill levels and guided with calm, clear instruction.
Held on the Sundeck with 360-Degree Views: The setting alone invites presence — wide views of the bay, morning breezes, and the glow of golden light on limestone peaks.
Focused on Breath, Balance, and Awareness: Each movement connects to breath, encouraging grace and calm as the day begins.
Natural Soundtrack of Water and Wind: No music is needed here — just the rhythmic lap of waves and the occasional call of a seabird overhead.
Opportunity to Reflect and Recharge: Many guests say this is the most memorable moment of the cruise — not because it's dramatic, but because it's deeply personal.

This is more than just a class — it's a gift. A sunrise ritual that stays with you long after you've disembarked. And it’s yours to claim when you travel with Asia Travel Links.

07:00 – 08:00 – Breakfast in the Golden Palace Restaurant

As the ship awakens to the soft light of morning, the dining room fills with the gentle clinking of cutlery and the warm scent of fresh bread. Breakfast aboard the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night isn’t rushed. It’s carefully curated — a time to nourish, recharge, and prepare for the final chapter of your journey through Halong Bay.

The Golden Palace Restaurant greets you with a spread that honors both East and West. From steaming bowls of pho to flaky pastries and tropical fruits, the menu invites you to eat with curiosity and comfort. Every dish is prepared fresh, every table is attended with care, and every bite carries the same attention to detail that defines the cruise.

It’s the kind of breakfast that doesn’t just fill you — it sets the tone for a day of discovery. And at Asia Travel Links, we ensure you begin your morning with everything you need: flavor, ease, and a view worth waking up early for.

International Buffet Breakfast Experience

The day begins with flavor, freshness, and a view that turns every bite into a moment of indulgence.

Wide Selection of Local and Western Dishes: The buffet features Vietnamese classics like pho and fried rice alongside Western staples such as eggs, sausages, baked goods, and cereals — all made with quality ingredients.

More than a meal, this breakfast becomes a quiet joy — the kind that leaves you full and smiling before the day has even begun. Let Asia Travel Links guide you to experiences like this, where every detail feels designed for you.

08:00 – 09:00 – Bamboo Boat Excursion to Luon Cave

The final excursion of your Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night invites you to leave the modern world behind for a while and drift into one of Halong Bay’s most serene and storied corners — Luon Cave. Here, nature isn’t just beautiful. It’s untouched, unhurried, and waiting to be quietly discovered.

You step aboard a traditional bamboo boat, steered by a local rower. The water is impossibly still. Towering cliffs surround you, their reflections mirrored on the glass-like surface. As the cave narrows and opens again into a hidden lagoon, the outside world disappears. There are no motors, no crowds, no noise — just the sound of oars, birds, and the occasional splash.

This is one of the bay’s most sacred places. And it feels that way. You don’t just see Luon Cave — you feel it. And with Asia Travel Links, you arrive at just the right time, in just the right way.

Exploring Luon Cave by Traditional Bamboo Boat

This peaceful journey is a reminder of how nature speaks loudest in silence.

Scenic Entrance into a Natural Archway: Your boat glides under a low limestone bridge, an arched gateway formed over centuries by wind and tide.
Hidden Lagoon Surrounded by Cliffs: Inside, the world opens up again — a glassy lagoon encircled by towering karsts and lush greenery that blocks out everything but the present.
Spotting Native Wildlife Along the Way: Keep your eyes peeled for monkeys in the treetops or kingfishers skimming across the water — each sighting feels like a small gift.
Guided by Skilled Local Rowers: The rowers not only navigate the cave gently but often share local legends and insights, enriching the experience with quiet storytelling.
Perfect for Photography and Presence: Whether you're capturing the landscape or simply letting your camera rest on your lap, this excursion invites stillness, reflection, and awe.

Some journeys change your perspective. This one slows your breath. When you book your luxury cruise bamboo boat tour through Asia Travel Links, you gain access to the kind of experience that words can’t quite capture — but one you'll remember for years.

09:00 – 09:30 – Final Cabin Checkout

As your Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night nears its close, the thought of packing up and leaving your luxury cabin might bring a subtle pang of reluctance. After all, your room has been more than just a place to sleep — it’s been your sanctuary, your front-row seat to Halong Bay’s natural theater. The last thing you want is for checkout to disrupt that sense of peace.

Too often, the final hours of a journey feel hurried or impersonal. But not here. The Golden Cruise team has designed the checkout process to be as thoughtful and seamless as the voyage itself. There are no long lines, no confusing procedures, and no pressure to rush. Just a calm, well-coordinated transition handled with quiet efficiency.

With Asia Travel Links, every part of your cruise — even the last — reflects care, clarity, and comfort. You’ll leave the ship just as gracefully as you boarded it.

Seamless Checkout from Your Luxury Cabin

Disembarkation doesn’t have to be stressful. Here, it’s just another part of the curated experience.

Clear and Simple Instructions Delivered in Advance: The evening before, you receive a printed notice with step-by-step checkout guidelines, including timing and staff contacts.
Luggage Assistance Right from Your Cabin Door: At the designated time, your bags are collected by the crew and brought directly to the pier — no dragging or heavy lifting required.
Room-by-Room Support from Friendly Staff: Crew members are stationed throughout the corridors to answer questions and offer help, ensuring nothing is left behind.
Flexible Timing for a Relaxed Departure: Checkout flows smoothly without overwhelming everyone at once, so you can enjoy your final morning without watching the clock.
Continued Comfort Until the Last Step: Even after leaving your cabin, you’re welcome to relax in the lounge, enjoy a coffee, or take in one more panoramic view before brunch.

Every transition matters. At Asia Travel Links, we ensure your last impression is just as polished as your first.

09:30 – 10:30 – Brunch & Final Toast to Halong Bay

The final meal aboard the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night isn’t just about nourishment — it’s a celebration. A quiet toast to the bay, to new friends, to the moments that moved you. The Golden Palace Restaurant once again sets the stage, this time with a comforting yet elegant brunch designed to bring closure to your journey without rushing you out the door.

Through wide windows, Halong Bay drifts by one last time. The cliffs are still. The water glimmers. Conversations soften into shared reflection. It’s a time to savor not only the flavors on your plate but the memories they accompany.

This final moment is what defines the cruise as a complete experience — not a trip, but a full-circle journey. And when you book with Asia Travel Links, we ensure your farewell is just as meaningful as your welcome.

Farewell Brunch at Golden Palace Restaurant

As the ship begins its quiet return to port, the brunch table becomes the last gathering point — warm, generous, and filled with flavor.

Buffet of Vietnamese and Western Favorites: Choose from delicate seafood dishes, handmade pastries, egg specialties, and more — all presented with the same finesse as dinner.
Fresh Juice and Coffee to Linger With: Pair your plate with tropical juices or one final cup of rich Vietnamese coffee, brewed to perfection and served with a smile.
Comfortable Seating with Panoramic Bay Views: Watch the last limestone peaks pass by as you dine in relaxed elegance, surrounded by light and calm.
Chance to Connect and Reflect: Guests often exchange contacts, share photos, or simply sit in quiet appreciation — each person processing the journey in their own way.
A Culinary Goodbye Worth Remembering: The flavors are simple but rich, and the setting turns the meal into something more than sustenance — it becomes a memory in itself.

At Asia Travel Links, we believe that even the final bite should reflect the journey you’ve just taken — thoughtful, delicious, and unforgettable.

11:00 – Return to Tuan Chau Pier

The journey aboard the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night ends as gracefully as it began. The vessel glides back into the harbor, the limestone cliffs now slowly fading from view behind you. The atmosphere is quiet, reflective — not because something has ended, but because something meaningful has just unfolded.

Crew members line the deck to offer final farewells, their warm smiles mirroring the attentiveness you’ve experienced throughout the cruise. There are no loud announcements or rushed movements. Every part of this return has been timed for calm — a final reminder of the cruise’s elegant rhythm.

It’s not goodbye, really. It’s a promise. That the magic of Halong Bay, the peaceful pace, the curated comfort — it can be yours again. And when you're ready, Asia Travel Links will be here to make it effortless.

Disembarkation at Tuan Chau Pier

Your cruise concludes where it began — but not how it began. You return lighter, fuller, more connected to the world around you.

Smooth and Well-Timed Docking: The ship arrives on schedule, allowing for an unhurried disembarkation with staff guiding you each step of the way.
Grateful Farewell from the Crew: Smiles, waves, and kind words from the staff create a heartfelt conclusion to your experience.
Luggage Returned Directly at the Pier: Your bags are already waiting by the time you reach the dock, tagged, handled, and organized for a swift transition to land transport.
Efficient Transfer Coordination: Whether you’ve booked onward transport through Asia Travel Links or arranged it yourself, ground logistics flow seamlessly.

This isn’t just about skipping queues — it’s about removing barriers between you and the beauty of Halong Bay. That’s what a cruise with meals and activities included should deliver. And when you travel with Asia Travel Links, it always does.

Professional English-Speaking Tour Guide

Aboard the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night, your journey through Halong Bay becomes more than sightseeing — it transforms into a cultural story, told with care and expertise. At the heart of this storytelling is your onboard guide — a fluent English speaker with a passion for history, folklore, and personal connection.

This isn’t just someone pointing out landmarks. It’s a knowledgeable companion who brings depth to every destination, offers support during activities, and makes every interaction more engaging and informative. With them by your side, you don’t just observe Halong Bay — you understand it.

And because your guide is included in the Vietnam cruise package, there are no added fees, no uncertainty — just a consistent, high-value presence from beginning to end, provided by Asia Travel Links.

When you book with Asia Travel Links, this level of insight comes standard. It’s how we ensure your Halong Bay luxury cruise isn’t just scenic — it’s meaningful.

Accommodation in Standard Cabins

The foundation of every luxury experience is comfort. Even in the Golden Cruise’s standard cabins, that comfort is carefully curated — with sea views, climate control, and elegant touches that reflect the cruise’s overall sophistication. You don’t need to upgrade to experience quality — it’s built in.

Each cabin offers a private sanctuary from the day’s adventures, allowing you to rest deeply, wake refreshed, and fully enjoy the beauty of Halong Bay. Clean lines, thoughtful amenities, and warm lighting make the space feel both modern and welcoming.

Of course, for those looking to elevate their stay even further, Asia Travel Links can assist with premium suite upgrades — customized to your needs, group size, or special occasion.

Comfortable Cabins with Essential Amenities

Your cabin is more than a place to sleep — it’s your retreat, your recharge point, your private view of the bay.

Private Bathrooms with Hot Showers: Every room includes a personal en-suite, stocked with clean towels, toiletries, and reliable hot water for post-excursion refreshment.
Air-Conditioned for Total Climate Control: Regardless of the season, you’ll enjoy cool, comfortable temperatures at all times.
Windows with Natural Light and Scenic Views: While not all rooms include balconies, every cabin allows you to enjoy the shifting scenery of Halong Bay from your bed.

Optional Upgrades to Premium Suites: If you’re celebrating or simply want more, we at Asia Travel Links can help you secure larger rooms with private balconies and enhanced amenities.

This is how a cruise with meals and activities included should feel — complete, well-equipped, and elevated by attention to detail. With Asia Travel Links, every stay is made exceptional.

Inclusive Onboard Dining – Full-Board Meals

Few experiences rival dining on the open water — especially when every meal is part of a meticulously curated itinerary like the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night. From the moment you step aboard, food becomes more than sustenance; it becomes an experience — a sensory journey through both Vietnamese tradition and Western refinement.

The dining program is fully inclusive, with four distinct meals served across two luxurious days. Each one is timed to complement the flow of your day — energizing you after excursions, unwinding you at sunset, or easing you gently into a tranquil morning. And because it’s part of your Halong Bay luxury cruise, there are no surprises — just exceptional cuisine in breathtaking settings.

When you book through Asia Travel Links, you enjoy a cruise with meals and activities included, where each dish is served with precision, warmth, and an unforgettable view.

01 Lunch – Flavorful First Impression

The first lunch on Day 1 is your culinary introduction to the Golden Cruise — and it’s one that leaves a lasting mark.

Asian Fusion Dishes Crafted Fresh Onboard: From stir-fried seafood to grilled meats and fresh local vegetables, each plate reflects Vietnam’s rich culinary diversity with a modern twist.
Served at Golden Palace Restaurant with Panoramic Views: As the cruise begins its scenic journey, you dine in a glass-wrapped setting overlooking the rising limestone cliffs.

01 Dinner – Elegant Evening at Sea

As the sun sets and the ship settles into a calm anchorage, the evening meal becomes an event in itself — refined, relaxed, and richly satisfying.

01 Breakfast – Sunrise Meal with a View

Morning on the bay is a peaceful affair — and breakfast reflects that serenity. It’s light, fresh, and filled with choice.

It’s a fitting close to your full-service Halong Bay cruise tour — one last expression of thoughtfulness, flavor, and Vietnamese hospitality, made seamless through Asia Travel Links.

Government Taxes & Service Charges Included

When booking a cruise, hidden fees can quickly turn a dream getaway into a frustrating experience. Unexpected charges for service or government taxes are often buried in the fine print, making it hard to trust what’s actually included. This uncertainty can chip away at your peace of mind — especially when you're looking for a truly all-inclusive journey.

The Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night eliminates that stress entirely. All mandatory service fees and government taxes are already factored into the package price. There are no surprise surcharges, no last-minute additions — just straightforward pricing that reflects the quality and transparency of a premium Halong Bay luxury cruise.

With Asia Travel Links, you always know exactly what you’re paying for: a seamless, elevated experience from start to finish.

No Hidden Fees – Full Transparency Guaranteed

Every inclusion is intentional. Every cost is accounted for.

Government VAT and Cruise Service Fees Included: You won’t be asked to pay extra for entry permits, environmental fees, or staff gratuities — they’re built into the price.
Clear Pricing From the Moment You Inquire: All costs are laid out upfront by Asia Travel Links, with no fine-print traps or post-booking adjustments.
No Surprise Bills at Checkout: When you disembark, your only focus will be memories — not calculations.
Transparent Billing and Documentation Provided: From confirmation to check-in, your invoice clearly reflects what’s covered.
Trust Built on Honesty: Inclusions reflect true value — no fluff, no padding, just well-designed service.

A Vietnam cruise package should feel rewarding, not complicated. That’s why when you travel with Asia Travel Links, everything — including peace of mind — is included.

Exclusions - Itinerary 1

While the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night offers a well-rounded and all-inclusive journey through Halong Bay, there are a few services that fall outside the standard package. These exclusions often catch travelers off guard, leading to last-minute expenses or disrupted plans.

That’s why clarity matters — and it’s why we at Asia Travel Links make it a point to outline what’s not included in Halong Bay cruise experiences like this one. With a few key exceptions, everything from meals to activities to taxes is already covered. For the rest, we offer dedicated support to help you customize your cruise, add optional enhancements, and plan confidently.

This is how we build trust: by being transparent, responsive, and ready to help you shape your perfect Halong Bay luxury cruise experience — with no surprises, just solutions.

Transportation Fee Not Included

Transportation to and from the cruise departure point is not bundled into the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night base fare — and for good reason. Every traveler’s needs are different, and not everyone departs from the same location or at the same time.

Without this flexibility, you’d be limited to a one-size-fits-all solution. But that can also leave some travelers scrambling to organize logistics, especially those unfamiliar with Vietnam’s geography or local transport options. It’s a small detail — but one that can create unnecessary stress if not addressed early.

Fortunately, this is where Asia Travel Links steps in — offering customizable transfer options designed to fit your schedule, group size, and travel preferences.

Transfer Services Available Upon Request

Getting to and from the pier should be the easiest part of your journey — and we’re here to make sure it is.

Transportation Not Included in Cruise Base Package: Guests are responsible for reaching the departure point at Tuan Chau Pier or the Golden Cruise Centre independently.
Private Car and Shuttle Options Available: Whether you're traveling from Hanoi, Hai Phong, or other nearby areas, we offer comfortable and reliable vehicles suited to couples, families, or groups.
Flexible Timing and Route Options: Choose pick-up and drop-off times that align with your flights, hotels, or onward travel plans.
Dedicated Driver and Assistance Throughout: Enjoy a stress-free ride with professional drivers, clean vehicles, and direct transfer to the pier.
Contact Asia Travel Links to Add-On Transfers Easily: We're happy to integrate transportation into your booking — simply email us or call +84917506881 for personalized arrangements.

Don’t let transportation stand between you and your Halong Bay cruise. With the right plan — and the right partner — the journey is as seamless as the destination.

Personal Beverages Are Charged Separately

One of the joys of a luxury cruise is indulging in your favorite drinks — whether it’s a crisp white wine with dinner, a fresh juice in the afternoon, or a signature cocktail under the stars. However, while the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night includes full-board meals, beverages outside of those meals are not part of the base package.

Rather than limiting your options to a narrow selection, the cruise offers a full-service bar where you can enjoy drinks on your own terms. This gives you the flexibility to tailor your beverage choices to your taste — from classic cocktails to local specialties and imported wines.

With Asia Travel Links, you’ll be informed in advance and supported in every way — so there are no surprises, only the delight of choosing exactly what you want, when you want it.

Wines, Cocktails & Soft Drinks Not Covered

Drinks are a personal pleasure — and on board, they’re your choice to enjoy.

Beverages Ordered Outside of Mealtime Are Extra: Any soft drinks, juices, or alcoholic beverages ordered between meals or at the bar will be billed to your room.
Wide Range of Options Available Onboard: Choose from Vietnamese beers, French and Australian wines, classic spirits, and handcrafted cocktails.
Drink Menu Presented Upon Boarding: You’ll receive a full list of beverage offerings and prices on arrival for complete transparency.
Bar Service Available Throughout the Day and Evening: Whether it’s a poolside mocktail or a nightcap on the deck, the team is ready to serve.
Pay-as-You-Go or Settle at Checkout: Charges are tracked to your cabin and settled smoothly before disembarkation.

Knowing what’s included in your Vietnam cruise package helps you plan better — and we at Asia Travel Links are always here to help you enjoy it, your way.

Kayak Experience Available at Extra Cost

While the base Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night itinerary is rich with excursions and exploration, the kayak experience offers something uniquely personal — freedom to paddle into quiet coves, glide beneath cliffs, and connect with Halong Bay from water level.

This immersive activity isn’t bundled into the package by default, giving you the flexibility to opt in if adventure calls. For those who love active travel, kayaking is one of the most memorable — and photogenic — ways to experience the bay’s beauty.

Through Asia Travel Links, booking this optional upgrade is effortless, allowing you to customize your cruise in advance.

Explore Halong Bay by Kayak – Optional Add-On

Kayaking lets you discover the bay at your own pace — quietly, closely, and with a sense of wonder.

Kayak Rental Not Included in Base Package: This activity is optional and available at an additional fee, which can be paid onboard or pre-arranged.
Ideal for Adventure Seekers and Nature Lovers: Paddle through hidden lagoons, get close to cave entrances, and experience the bay’s grandeur without a motor.
Safe and Guided Option Available: Staff provide instructions and life jackets, and guided group kayaking is sometimes offered for additional safety and insight.
Short Duration for Maximum Flexibility: Most kayak sessions last around 30–45 minutes — enough to explore without overexerting.
Easily Booked Through Asia Travel Links: Let us know your interest, and we’ll add it to your itinerary in advance.

This is your optional service on a luxury cruise, and with the right planning, it becomes a highlight of your Halong Bay escape.

Gratuities Are Not Included

Tipping is a common question when it comes to cruises — especially when so many services are included. On the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night, gratuities are not automatically charged, which gives you the freedom to express appreciation in a way that feels right to you.

However, many guests aren’t sure what’s customary — and that uncertainty can lead to awkwardness or missed gestures of gratitude. That’s why Asia Travel Links is here to provide clarity, not pressure. We’ll help you understand the norm so you can tip confidently and generously, if you choose.

Tipping Guidelines for Cruise Staff

Your kindness goes a long way — and it’s always appreciated.

Tipping Is Voluntary, Not Mandatory: You are never obligated to tip, and staff provide the same exceptional service regardless.
Typical Gratuity Ranges from $3–$5 USD Per Guest, Per Day: This is a common benchmark across Vietnam cruises, based on service standards and cruise duration.
Collected Individually or at Checkout: You may tip crew members directly or leave a single gratuity when settling your cabin bill.
Tips Support Crew Across Departments: Gratuities are often pooled to reward all departments — from housekeeping to kitchen to deck staff.
Clear Tipping Guidelines Provided Onboard: You’ll receive polite suggestions from the crew or cruise manager, ensuring transparency and choice.

When you book through Asia Travel Links, we help you navigate every detail — even the ones others overlook. It’s our way of ensuring your Halong Bay cruise tipping and extras feel thoughtful, never forced.

Spa & Massage Services Charged Separately

After a day of exploration on the Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night, few things feel better than sinking into the calm of a professional massage. Whether it’s a soothing foot rub after walking Titop Island or a full-body session under soft lighting and ocean breeze, spa treatments onboard elevate your relaxation to another level.

These premium services are not included in the base Vietnam cruise package, allowing you to choose your ideal moments of indulgence. You control the when, where, and how — with flexibility to book either onboard or in advance.

With Asia Travel Links, your well-being is never an afterthought. We offer easy pre-booking and personalized recommendations for those who want to enhance their Halong Bay luxury cruise with total serenity.

Onboard Massage – Relaxation at Your Convenience

Luxury is in the details — and few details are more satisfying than a tailored massage.

Spa Services Not Included in Cruise Package: Massages are optional add-ons and billed separately, giving you the freedom to choose based on your needs and preferences.
Wide Range of Offerings: From head and shoulder relief to full-body therapy, treatments are designed to melt stress and fatigue.

True luxury isn’t just in where you go — it’s in how you feel. Let Asia Travel Links help you personalize your journey, one spa session at a time.

Laundry Services Available Upon Request

When you’re traveling light — or continuing your adventure beyond the bay — clean clothes become essential. Yet, it’s easy to assume services like laundry are included, only to discover later that they’re not.

The Golden Cruise 2 Days 1 Night offers onboard laundry, but it operates on a pay-per-item basis. That means you won’t be charged unless you use it — and if you do, it’s easy to request and quick to process.

This model keeps your cruise cost clear and your expectations aligned. And with Asia Travel Links by your side, we’re always available to clarify inclusions or arrange any extras you may need.

Laundry Not Part of Standard Package

When you're extending your travels, fresh clothes can make all the difference.

Pay-Per-Item Pricing Model: Laundry isn’t bundled into the standard package, which means you only pay for what you use — and you control the cost.
Simple Request Process: Just leave your laundry in the designated bag or inform reception — it’ll be returned cleaned and folded within hours.
Ideal for Longer Vietnam Itineraries: If your cruise is just one part of a larger journey, laundry service helps keep you feeling fresh without overpacking.
Clear Menu of Rates Provided: Prices are listed in your in-cabin directory or available at the front desk for full transparency.
Asia Travel Links Can Pre-Arrange Requests: Need your clothes ready for the next stop? We’ll coordinate it to fit your schedule.

Cruising is about ease — and this optional service ensures your journey stays light, clean, and worry-free.
