Halong Cruise Part 2

By Joshua Berida On August 12, 2013 In Vietnam

It was the second day of my cruise aboard the Victory Star and I was looking forward to the day's activities.

Halong Bay means 'Descending Dragon bay'. Legend has it that a dragon flew over Vietnam and protected its people from foreign invaders. It spread thousands of jewels into the bay which formed thousands of islets and islands.

The UNESCO Heritage Site, Ha Long Bay, has been on my to visit list since I started to travel. And now, I finally had the chance to set my eyes on this beautiful masterpiece of nature.

I was given the chance to board the Victory Star during my 2 days and 1 night trip around Ha Long Bay. The company covered the transportation from the hotel to the ship and the transfer back to the hotel the next day. After a four hour trip through the countryside, I finally got to board the ship.

Imagine waking up in a new destination every morning, enjoying a leisurely breakfast from such delights as croissants, freshly baked pain au chocolat, smoked salmon or perhaps sausage sandwiches. Then it's time to pack a day bag and head off into today's destination, to spend time exploring the sights and sounds in your own time or as part of an organised tour. At the end of the day it's back onto the ship to enjoy a refreshing sundowner, perhaps on the top deck watching the sun go down, before you take your pick from the restaurants on board for a fabulous dinner, and finally head off to enjoy an evening show, kick back in the piano bar or - if you've got the stamina - dance 'til the early hours in the nightclub.
