During their three-day trip, they will visit Bai Tu Long Bay and Ha Long Bay on a new pilot tourism route designed for the super-rich, which Quang Ninh province planned in advance.

On the first day of their journey, Grinspoon and Foley will embark on a luxury cruise aboard the Heritage Line – Violet, enjoying a private party and kayaking around the Cong Do and Tra San areas before spending the night on the ship.

On the second day, they will explore Vung Vieng fishing village, visit the Tien Ong area, and kayak in Ba Ham Lake. The ship will anchor overnight in Tien Ong.

The third day will be dedicated to onboard activities, relaxation, and cruising through Bai Tu Long Bay and Ha Long Bay before arriving at Tuan Chau Port, marking the end of their journey.

After disembarking, they will continue their itinerary by road to other destinations in Vietnam.

When in Vietnam, they will travel by helicopter, luxury car, and yacht, and utilise high-end services, as part of the new initiatives targeting the high-end travel market.

This is the first group of global millionaires and billionaires visiting Quang Ninh as part of a special tour program designed for ultra-luxury travelers. It is expected that around 4 more groups of world billionaires will visit the province, with the largest group consisting of 106 German billionaires.
