Around midday, lunch will be served on board. Enjoy attentive, personalized service by the ship’s crew while feasting on delicious, fresh seafood and a selection of Vietnamese dishes.

In the morning, depart for Ba Na Hills, also known as Chua Mount (Mount of the Goddess), by passing the seashore on Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, one of the most beautiful roads in Da Nang City, and Red Beach. Ba Na Hills used to be a small French resort nestled in the mountains and has recently been transformed into the most well-known amusement park in Vietnam thanks to its good location, geological formations, and climate.

Arrive at the cable car station at the foot of Ba Na Mountain. Enjoy the first leg of the cable car, which achieved two Guinness World Records as the longest non-stop cable car (5,042m) and the highest non-stop single-track cable car (1,292m). The cable cars were built to access the mountaintop of Ba Na Hills, but they’re also the perfect way to get spectacular views of Da Nang and the surrounding forests.

Upon reaching Ba Na Hills, start the trip with a visit to the Golden Bridge, which is designed to connect the cable car station with the main gardens of this mountaintop. It also provides a scenic overlook and tourist attraction. The gold-colored walkway is lined with purple Lobelia Chrysanthemums and is 150 meters long, supported by two giant hands constructed of fiberglass and wire mesh. These two hands appear like stone hands that emerge from the landscape.

After the Golden Bridge, continue to visit Le Jardin d’Amour (the Love Garden), old wineries, the remains of French Villas, and Linh Ung Pagoda with its 27m-high Buddha statue. Then leave Le Jardin for the second cable car station to visit the top of the mountain where the remains of old French villas can be found. Conquer the Peak of Chua Mount at a height of 1,487m, viewing the whole of Da Nang city beneath a cluster of white clouds. After the Peak of Chua Mount, visit the trail of the Dreaming Stream, Rainbow Waterfall, Suspension Bridge, Golden Valley, and the ruined Opera House. Play with wild monkeys and take photos. Enjoy free time until it's time to return to the cable car station to descend to the foot of the mountain. Transfer back to Da Nang City.

Once a bustling maritime commercial port in Asia between the 15th and 19th centuries, Hoi An is now a peaceful town with exceptionally well-preserved architecture, lifestyles, and traditions. The town exemplifies a fascinating fusion of cultures between Vietnam and the outside world, including China, Japan, Thailand, and the Philippines. Highlights for sightseeing include the town’s iconic 400-year-old Covered Bridge with a small temple attached to one side as a prominent example of Japanese architecture, the Museum of Trade Ceramics, which is an elegant Vietnamese-style wooden house built in 1858 showcasing antique ceramic artifacts, the 200-year-old Tan Ky House typifying an ancient Chinese merchant residence, and Ong Temple built in 1653 by Chinese settlers to worship Guan Yu, an ancient Chinese general whose character stands for loyalty, bravery, and justice.

In the afternoon, take a scenic cruise on the Thu Bon River to enjoy the countryside landscapes. Sitting relaxingly on a boat, rowing along the river, you will be appealed to by the bustle of craft villages along the bank such as Thanh Ha for pottery, Phuoc Kieu for bronze casting, Tra Que for vegetables, Ma Chau for silk, and Phu Chiem for rice paper.
