1. The Mon Chéri Welcome – Your Honeymoon Begins
Your private luxury vehicle transfers you from Hanoi to Tuan Chau Marina, where the Mon Chéri Lounge awaits. A personal host greets you with a refreshing welcome drink and a cool towel. Your check-in is completed in minutes, and a small tender boat carries just the two of you across the emerald water to the elegant Mon Chéri Cruise.
As you step aboard, the captain and your dedicated butler welcome you by name. You are escorted to your Mon Chéri Signature Suite – a spacious 45-square-meter cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows, a king-size bed dressed in fine linens, and a private balcony. Rose petals adorn the bed, and a handwritten love note welcomes you. A bottle of sparkling wine and fresh fruit await, setting the tone for your romantic Lan Ha Bay honeymoon.
