On-board activities
MORNING TAICHI
Tai Chi is known as an exercise which enhances health, releases stress and relaxes the mind and body. Taking part in short Tai Chi exercises on your L’Azalée Cruise’s sundeck while surrounded by Halong’s limestone karsts and fresh air is a special way to start a new day.
KAYAKING
With instructions from trained and attentive tour guides on how to paddle and remain in a safe area, you can take your kayak and explore the breathtaking beauty of Halong Bay, visiting caves, hidden lagoons and floating villages along the way.
PEARL FARM VISIT
The ideal way to get a closer look at part of Halong’s culture. Guests will observe the lives of locals on a floating pearl farm village while contemplating the sparkling beauty of the pearls. During the visit, guests will learn the process of using pearls to make high-end jewelry, and see the initial step in this process first-hand, all while surrounded by stunning limestone karsts and the bay’s calm water.
COOKING CLASS
A fun and useful way to learn about Vietnamese culture is by cooking Vietnamese cuisine. Join in the L’Azalée Cruise cooking class with your friends and savor dishes you make with your own hands. The class will also teach you how to decorate a dish with vegetables in order to create a beautiful presentation.
