More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the teak deck as limestone towers drift past like slow-moving cliffs, the salt air pushing at your jacket and the cruise’s wake knitting a pale trail behind. Morning tai chi on the top deck meets evening squid fishing under a galaxy of boat lights — that is the rhythm of a two-day Peony Cruise through Lan Ha and Ha Long Bay.
