The Cruise

2 Days / 1 Night aboard the Grand Pioneers Cruise.

The Grand Pioneers fleet is the largest and most amenity-packed cruise operation on Ha Long Bay, a pair of 6-star super-yachts with over 100 cabins between them, each with floor-to-ceiling glass and a private balcony. Built with eco-conscious technology, the ship is a floating resort: an infinity saltwater pool, a sky bar, fine dining, a wine & cigar lounge, a 3D golf simulator, a kids' club, a gym and a spa. The two-day route showcases Ha Long's most iconic landmarks, the vast Sung Sot (Surprising) Cave, discovered by French explorers in 1901, and Luon Cave by bamboo boat or kayak, with a sunset canapé party, cooking class, happy hour and sunrise meditation.

Wake for the sunrise over the bay and a meditation or gym session on the sundeck, followed by breakfast.
