A weekend family getaway with Halong Bay Cruise

Last updated on

Sapa, Hanoi, and Halong Bay are the most common destinations chosen by tourists in Vietnam. Sapa is poured over with the mountainous scene and kindled with the ambition of conquering Indochina’s roof, the Fanxipan. It is also an ideal place for a weekend family who seeks adventurous activities in villages and the forest. However, Sapa is quite far away from Hanoi and combining with the meandering path. Therefore, it is not always convenient to reach the destination.

Hanoi is the second largest economic center of Vietnam. It is nourished with culture from the ancient time and constantly revolves. But to be honest, Hanoi is small and sort of limited in entertainment. Beyond the food scene, it is tedious to jump to other subjects like going to the movies, reserving a ticket at a concert, or shopping all the time. Plus, Hanoi is not rich in nature scene, which makes ones drained out after weeks of the repetitive cycle.

Whatever the fresh air is to break the chain and to be spontaneous in a more open scenery. Luckily, Halong’s appeared to be the most convenient destination because it is only two hours away from the Capital. Also, the drive has become so smooth because of the recent launch of the new highway in September. Guests now have more options to relax at the weekend and awaken their inner curiosity for exciting adventures ahead.

PRIVATE SPACE FOR INTIMATE JOURNEY
Time is a limited resource. And for today’s many people, time seems to be rarer to spend with the family since everyone is so busy with personal projects and self-development. What if you can choose both at the same time without feeling guilty? Here in Halong Bay, many cruise operators have offered practical cruise packages for your vacation. Ideally, for a family that wants to spend more quality time together, a charter cruise will be perfect for you all. A charter cruise means the whole boat belongs to your stay without any other guests’ interruption. And the vacation period on this kind of charter cruise lasts in only 2 days and 1 night, which is perfect for a busy family. Bhaya Legend will not only offer this kind of charter cruise within the short time, but it also brings you beyond Halong Bay: toward Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay.

Well, the cruise scene in Halong Bay will change your mindset and open to a variety of options.
