Vessel & Onboard Facilities

Diamond Era Cruise measures 39.45m in length and 9.29m in width, built with a modern steel hull and warm wooden interior finishes across three decks. The standout feature is the four-season outdoor jacuzzi pool on the second deck, a rare amenity among Halong Bay day cruises, where guests can soak while taking in views of the surrounding limestone karsts. Above it, the 250m² sundeck is fitted with a sound system and stage, used for the onboard music and the afternoon sunset tea party. The ship also has an open-air sky bar lounge with comfortable seating, and two dining restaurants with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows and private dining tables, so every guest gets a bay view with their meal. Free wifi and air conditioning are available throughout, and every guest receives a life jacket for water activities.

Full-Day Itinerary & Activities

The standard Diamond Era Cruise itinerary runs as a single full day trip from Hanoi to Halong Bay and back:

Morning – Hanoi to Tuan Chau Marina

Guests are picked up between 7:45–8:30 AM from hotels in the Hanoi Old Quarter, or can meet the group directly at the Hanoi Opera House if their hotel is outside the Old Quarter, before the coach heads out via the expressway toward Halong Bay. A short rest stop is included around 10:00–10:20 AM. Boarding takes place at Tuan Chau International Marina between 11:20 AM and 12:30 PM, where guests are welcomed onboard Diamond Era Cruise with a drink and a short briefing from the captain and cruise director on the day’s schedule and safety instructions.

Midday – Cruising, Lunch & Luon Cave

The cruise departs Tuan Chau Marina around midday while a buffet lunch is served onboard in the panoramic-window restaurant. In the afternoon, Diamond Era Cruise anchors near Luon Cave, where guests can kayak or ride a traditional bamboo boat through the low limestone arch into the lagoon beyond – one of the most photographed activities on any Halong Bay day tour.

Afternoon – Sung Sot Cave & Ti Top Island

The cruise continues to Bo Hon Island for a visit to Sung Sot Cave (Surprising Cave), widely considered the largest and most spectacular cave in Halong Bay, reached via a short flight of stairs. Sightseeing tickets for Sung Sot Cave and Ti Top Island are included in the tour, with Ti Top’s sandy beach and viewpoint offering one of the best panoramic photo spots over the bay for guests who want to swim or climb up for the view.

Late Afternoon – Sunset Tea Party & Return

As Diamond Era Cruise cruises back toward the harbour between roughly 4:30–5:45 PM, guests are invited to a sunset tea party on the sundeck with tea, juice, fresh fruit and cakes while live music plays. The ship returns to Tuan Chau Marina by around 6:00 PM, and for guests on the Hanoi package, the coach departs in the evening (around 9:00–9:30 PM) back to the Hanoi Old Quarter via the expressway, closing out the day trip.

Dining & Culinary Experience

Lunch aboard Diamond Era Cruise is served buffet-style, with fresh seafood such as prawns, squid and oysters, Vietnamese specialties, and international dishes, plus a dedicated vegetarian buffet line for guests who prefer meat-free options. For Indian travellers and groups, Diamond Era Cruise also offers an Indian vegetarian set menu on request, featuring naan, lentil daal, paneer and green bean curry and other authentic Indian dishes – a detail that makes the ship a popular choice for Indian family and group tours in Halong Bay. The sunset tea party on the sundeck rounds out the day with tea, juice, seasonal fruit and cakes.

Transportation from Hanoi

Diamond Era Cruise offers two package options for guests joining from Hanoi: a standard shuttle bus transfer, or an upgraded limousine bus transfer with premium reclining leather seats. Round-trip transfers between Hanoi and Tuan Chau Marina are included only when the Hanoi pickup package is selected; guests already in Halong Bay or Tuan Chau can also join the cruise itself without the transfer. Bottled drinking water is provided on the coach, and the total journey (including the cruise) typically runs from around 7 hours up to roughly 13 hours depending on the departure point and package chosen.
