Spend two days aboard the Capella, cruising between Halong and Lan Ha bays with luxury cabins, kayaking at Frog Lagoon, cave visits by bamboo boat, and sunrise Tai Chi. This overnight combines active water time with high-end comfort and regional cultural encounters.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low sun slices the limestone towers as the Capella glides from Tuan Chau, engines soft and decks alive with sea-salted air. Onboard, teak and glass meet tailored service; offboard, karst pillars rise from green water like ancient sentinels daring you to explore. The first afternoon is playful — Frog Lagoon for swimming, SUP, and an inflatable slide — then a quiet evening of cooking class and a gourmet dinner beneath a wash of starlight.
