Our all-inclusive luxury package Northern Delights offers the perfect 5-day/4-night journey for anyone visiting Northern Vietnam. Stay at the luxurious Capella Hotel in Hanoi, with optional half-day tours tailored to your interests, from culinary to cultural or cycling experiences. Then, discover the Gulf of Tonkin with a choice of two customizable circuits: a scenic two-night cruise aboard Heritage Line ‘Violet’, exploring the lesser-known region of Bai Tu Long (Halong Bay), or a more active two-night adventure aboard Heritage Line ‘Ylang’, discovering the beautiful islands of Cat Ba and Lan Ha Bay.
Beyond Halong: the quieter neighboring bays
Beyond the horizon of Halong, located just northeast of Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long shares the same iconic scenery of limestone karst formations and evergreen islands and islets while attracting far fewer travellers. One might call it “Halong Bay 0.0” – a return to the roots of Halong Bay. The nearby Lan Ha Bay also offers a quieter, more serene escape with its untouched beauty. Rich in history and culture, these bays offer a variety of unique sightseeing opportunities and activities. Whether exploring the unknow Bai Tu Long Bay or the peaceful coves of Lan Ha Bay, guests are treated to a refreshing clear waters and sunny days, perfect for relaxation and adventure.
