Vietnam Dining Experience in a Cave

Asia Premier Cruises (APC) is offering a 2.5-hour cave dining and entertainment experience inside Dragon Pearl Cave—one of the largest caves in the Bai Tu Long region of Cam Pha District, Quang Ninh Province. Just 30 minutes from Halong City, the 43,000-square-foot cave is perched 430 feet above sea level and surrounded by the Ban Co mountain range, offering views of Bai Tu Long Bay.

Locals have long referred to Dragon Pearl Cave as “a theatre inside a mountain” for its dual chambers, rock formations and natural acoustics. Guests begin their journey with a 45-minute performance titled The Quest for the Dragon Pearl. Set against the cave’s stalagmites, the theatrical show combines live music, acrobatics, puppetry and traditional costumes to tell the legend of the sacred Dragon Pearl—a tale of power, harmony and the balance between heaven and earth.

Following the performance, guests are treated to a dining experience by candlelight. The multi-course meal features ingredients and culinary traditions of Quang Ninh Province. Dishes include grilled Van Don oysters with scallop sauce, hand-pounded Co To squid cakes, lobster with Tien Vua imperial sauce and Yen Tu golden flower tea.
