12.30	Get on Gray Line cruise by private pier, and welcome drink is available, following Cruise manager’s briefing. Check-in reserved cabins and have a rest!
13.30	Enjoy set-menu lunch. By local flavors, it vitally helps to recuperate after a 4-hour-car drive. In the meantime, Gray Line goes ahead to the Bay’s center. Free to relax on sundeck after lunch. While the light of afternoon decreases slightly, hundreds of islands with different shares definitely amaze you by its natural beauty. What Gray Line makes your trip different is not the sights of Halong, but the line that you are on. Best to watch unparalleled sceneries of Halong in slow motion.
15:00	Explore Me Cung (Maze) cave. The non-crowned cave locates on a remote island, which is rare in cave-lake seascape. Climb up several rugged stone stairs to admire the miracle of stalactites in a very complex structure, then gradually to the west overlooking a great lake considered as a royal garden surrounding by natural mountain walls, seemingly isolated on the bay. Its water looks blue all year round and breathtaking from high above. Moreover, values of nature and archeology of the cave as well as the life of local ancient people in thousand years ago will be revealed by tour guide.
15.40	By tender, visit Titop Island. Free choice of activities: sunbathing, swimming and especially conquering the peak of the biggest island in Halong named of a Russian space hero and taking panoramic photos of Halong bay in dusk
17:30	Go back Gray Line boat for relaxation. Enjoy a free mini sunset party with seasonal fruits and snacks. Should order Halong-styled cocktail in buy-one-get-one-free promotion and save your memorable sunset moments. Best time to have unforgettable photos also!
18.30	Have fun in cooking class on the sundeck. Gray Line’s chef shows you how to make Spring Roll - an authentic specialty, which is voted for World's 50 best foods by CNN. Then you could do it yourself and taste it right after to see how well your skill.
19.30	A sophisticated dinner that gives you an appetite will be dedicatedly served in romantic ambience, especially with BBQ fresh seafood and a variety of foods.
21:00	Free choice of evening activities: watching film; playing board, guitar and card games; going fishing squid on tender. Enjoy squid cooked after fishing if you are lucky!

08.30	Arrive at Luon Cave. You will discover the area’s tranquility by kayaking – an indispensable water activity in Halong, for those who love challenging themselves or sitting on bamboo boat, for those who love being gentle and sophisticated, to admire breathtaking scenes. Centrally, the activity offers the serenity of escape, particularly in the early morning. From a distance, few small junks drift off under the sunrise slowly. What cool and poetic moment!
09.30	Come back the cruise. Time to check out your cabin, but not the end. Gray Line runs on another route back to the marina that offers amazing pictures of Mother Nature showing full of typical islets in Halong Bay. It must be a big part of your journey. Let us enjoy!
