Morning light slides across green water as the Dragon Bay cruise eases away from Tuan Chau Marina, limestone towers rising like weathered pillars around the ship. The first day unfolds in slow, marine time: tender transfers, a welcome lunch, and a route through Lan Ha Bay where silence replaces the city’s pulse and local fishermen steer bamboo boats into sheltered coves.
