After 3 days and 2 nights of experience on Ha Long Bay, this afternoon (February 13), 2 American millionaire tourists, Mr. Jeff Grinspoon and Mr. Jon Thomas Foley, and the most luxurious yacht in Ha Long Bay docked at Tuan Chau Port, ending their Ha Long Bay tour.
These two guests privately rented the Violet cruise ship, owned by Heritage Line, license plate QN – 5897.
Violet Cruise is designed with few cabins, only 6 rooms (36-38m2/room), with the desire to bring a quiet vacation to customers. Therefore, the room rates are also quite high, from over 14,000,000 VND to over 17,000,000 VND/room/night.
The common point of the rooms is that they are all spacious and have private balconies, in which the Junior Suite rooms have a design style imbued with French colonial Indochina.
At the request of 2 millionaires who needed quiet and privacy, the ship anchored in a quiet area and with a specially designed itinerary. The first night, the ship anchored in Cong Do area and the second night in Tien Ong area, Ha Long Bay.
The activities of these two American millionaire tourists during 3 days, 2 nights on Ha Long Bay are very diverse, rich but private. In which, on the first day: kayaking around Cong Do - Tra San area then returning to the cruise ship for dinner and participating in entertainment activities on the ship. Day 2: early morning exploring Vung Vieng fishing village then returning to the cruise ship for breakfast, relaxing on the ship and moving with the cruise ship to Tien Ong area; in the afternoon of the same day kayaking in Ba Ham Lake area... Day 3: participating in some activities on the ship then moving with the ship to Tuan Chau Port to end the journey.
Previously, at noon on February 11, the two tourists from Ha Giang flew by helicopter to Gia Lam and then continued to fly by helicopter to Van Don airport.
These are two American millionaires in the financial sector, traveling to Vietnam and looking for investment opportunities in the fields of footwear manufacturing and real estate.
Leaders of the Department of Tourism of Quang Ninh province and representatives of related units went to Van Don airport to welcome and present flowers to these two special tourists.
Immediately after the reception, the two American millionaires got in a car to Ao Tien Passenger Port, Van Don District, to board a speedboat and go straight to the luxury overnight ship anchored in Cong Do area, Ha Long Bay.
According to the organizer, this is the first group of millionaires and billionaires from around the world to come to Quang Ninh in a special tour program exclusively for millionaires and billionaires from around the world to explore Ha Long Bay on a new itinerary, with new stops.
It is expected that in the near future, there will be about 4 more groups of millionaires and billionaires from around the world coming to Ha Long Bay on a special tour program.
These groups of millionaires and billionaires are not among the group of about 200 billionaires participating in the “Art for Climate - Ha Long Bay 2025” Festival, which was scheduled to be held in January 2025 but was later postponed to June 2025.
To serve these special groups of billionaire tourists, Quang Ninh province has directed relevant units to research and develop tourism products to serve the high-end millionaire and billionaire market.
In particular, there is a plan to arrange 7 pristine island areas with beaches on Ha Long Bay to serve the billionaire and super-luxury customer segment belonging to 1% of the world's population.
Among these is Cat Oan beach - a smooth white sandbank emerging from the sea at low tide, connecting limestone mountains with small sandbanks at the foot of the mountains.
Another location expected to be included in the experience tour for the super-rich in Ha Long Bay is the Tra San - Cong Do area, which has many natural sand beaches, coral reefs and diverse underwater life.
