Looking for a memorable way to spend the upcoming Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays? A special lineup of themed cruise voyages will be launched in Haikou Bay. Whether you want to stargaze under the full moon, groove to live music, or treat the kids to an interactive cultural tour, there’s a special adventure waiting on the water.

Setting off from the historic Dongpo Wharf, the 12-kilometer journey takes passengers past some of the city’s most iconic waterfront landmarks, including the Century Bridge, Sky Mountain, the Wormhole Library, and Huacai Plaza. The fleet currently features two vessels. Hailv 01 offers an open-air observation deck and versatile event spaces, while Hailv 03 steps it up with a second-story deck for panoramic views.

To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, exclusive moon-viewing evening cruises will run on September 25 and 26. Capped at an intimate 150 passengers per sailing, these voyages invite visitors to admire the full moon from the deck, snap photos at traditional Chinese-themed installations, indulge in a buffet dinner, and enjoy live interactive entertainment.

As the national holiday week unfolds, the cruise schedule diversifies with day and night offerings. On the morning of October 1, a family-oriented daytime voyage will set sail from 10:00 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. Limited to 150 visitors, this trip features engaging maritime workshops and sessions focused on local history and festive cultural traditions.

When evening falls, the vibe shifts. The first nightly departure of Hailv 01 throughout the holiday will feature live onboard concerts. Professional bands and vocalists will serve up a mix of pop, folk, and light jazz, creating the perfect soundtrack as passengers soak in the moonlight and the glittering cityscape.

As a bonus from October 1 to 7, anyone purchasing a regular cruise ticket can upgrade their experience for just 39 RMB (about $5.50) to receive an adult pass for the Hailv 03 night tour—perfect for those who want to see the bay in a different light.
