The Cruise

3 Days / 2 Nights aboard the Grand Pioneers Cruise.

The three-day Grand Pioneers itinerary ventures beyond the classic sights into the serene Bai Tu Long Bay. Alongside the Sung Sot Cave, Luon Cave and Titop Island, you'll explore the Thien Canh Son Cave, kayak in pristine waters, visit the Vung Vieng fishing village and a pearl farm, and take in the dramatic scenery around the Cap La area and Da Xep Nature Park. With full access to the ship's vast entertainment hub, the infinity pool, 3D golf, spa, karaoke and lounges, it's the most complete way to experience the bay's largest 6-star cruise.
