Dragon Spire Pass – Halong Bay & Bangkok

About this cruise

14 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Hong Kong on November 7, 2027 and the route takes you through Halong Bay, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), with additional stops along the Southeast Asia at a pace where there's never any need to rush. Last stop: Singapore. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. The route threads through 4 countries along the Southeast Asia coast: Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Singapore. Of the stops, Halong Bay tends to be the one people talk about: Three thousand limestone pillars rising from emerald water. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Noordam has 7 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Hong Kong itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
