For an added dose of romance, couples can book a private dinner under the stars. Think: a beautifully set table on the deck, candlelight flickering, waves gently lapping beneath you, and a chef-curated menu to match the moment. Whether you're toasting to a milestone or simply savoring each other’s company, it’s the kind of dining experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Explore Together, Stay Closer

While it’s tempting to spend the entire trip wrapped in the comfort of your suite, Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay invite exploration  and discovering it as a duo only adds to the magic. If you're sailing with Indochine Premium, you'll enjoy kayaking through natural beach areas and exploring Sung Sot Cave or soaking in the view from Ti Top Island. With Indochine Cruise and Indochine Grand, the itinerary expands to include the wonders of Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Island, where you can explore Trung Trang Cave or venture by kayak or bamboo boat into the mysterious Dark and Bright Cave.

You can also try squid fishing under the stars, a fun and unexpected activity that adds a bit of playfulness to your romantic escape. As the sky turns dusky pink, return to the ship for curated evening entertainment. Catch an open-air movie, sip cocktails as live jazz floats through the night air, or simply lie back on a lounger, counting constellations. It’s slow travel at its most romantic - and exactly the kind of shared experience that deepens connection.
