Main Experiences on Signature Cruise

Squid Fishing

Spending the night on Bai Tu Long Bay is an unforgettable experience. Feeling like starting a night adventure? Go squid fishing! 

Join Signature Cruise as they’ll take you to the squid's haunts, where you may see these fascinating creatures at night while they hunt. To be ready for squid fishing, the crew set up a lighting system in the water to lure the fish. If you want to try your luck, the cruise will supply you all the gear you need, including fishing rods and rackets. The lure is a beam hook that mimics the form of a shrimp. In their voracious appetite, squid will immediately associate the light-illuminated hook with shrimp and dive in headfirst, baitless, to reel them in.

Going fishing at night in Bai Tu Long is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The dazzling splendor of Bai Tu Long Bay, especially at night, is a sight to behold, and not only for squid fishermen.

Pearl Farm

You will be taken to the Pearl Village of Vung Vieng Village during your excursion on the Signature Cruise. From planting until harvest, you'll be able to see the whole chain of events that creates the gem. Each step of the pearl-making process was taught by the teachers with great attention.

Visiting Caves 

Similar to Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay is renowned for its numerous stunning and distinctive caves. Today, more and more people are flocking to Bai Tu Long as the perfect place to swim, relax, explore, and enjoy a voyage of discovery. Mysterious and dazzling, each of the bay's caverns piques the interest of sightseers and encourages them to explore more. Come to Bai Tu Long Bay with Signature Cruise and experience the world's most famous and stunning caverns, as well as one of nature's most impressive wonders.

Kayaking and boat rowing

These are both must-try activities in Bai Tu Long Bay and Halong Bay. While kayaking is pretty popular found in Halong cruise companies, you will also want to try the bamboo woven boat - traditional transportation of local villages there. Immerse in the breathtaking limestone landscape, you'll be wowed and can't agree more about why this place is recognized as 7 Wonders of the World by UNESCO. It can be a bit adventurous for those who can’t swim or never sailed before, however, the Signature Cruise always has guides and protection accessories to keep you safe. Please be mindful about instruction before taking part in the activities.

Tai Chi Class

One of Vietnam's most well-known martial arts is tai chi that combines peaceful breathing with slow, purposeful movement, meditation, and breathing exercises.

In the morning, this session will help you relax and get your body moving. You may renew your thoughts in a very practical way. On a Signature Cruise, you'll get an opportunity to try exercising Tai Chi.

Cooking Demonstration

Not only will your trip to Vietnam be an adventure you will never forget, but the Signature Cruise crew will also demonstrate how to cook, together with you on board.
