Halong Bay 2-Day 1-Night Cruises

For most travelers, 2 days 1 night is the ideal time to get a glimpse of Halong Bay for the following reasons:

• Time-efficient: 2D1N cruise takes around 24 hours, which is suitable for those who have scanty time
• Reasonable: The prices are more cost-saving than the 3 days 2 night cruise trips
• Well-organized: The itinerary is sufficient enough to discover 2 - 3 highlight attractions

The main differences between the 3D2N and 2D1N cruises are the duration and price range. If you want to spend more time in Halong Bay with more relaxing time and deeper exploration, a 2-night cruise will be the best option for you.

For Canadian travelers seeking comfort, scenic beauty, and great service, the following 2D1N cruises are highly recommended:

• Peony Cruise (From CAD $224–$445 per person): Mid-range comfort with great service and Lan Ha Bay route
• Mon Cheri Cruise (From CAD $246–$540 per person): Modern design, spacious cabins with balconies
• Ambassador Cruise (From CAD $239–$710 per person): 5-star luxury with jacuzzi, sundeck bar, and live music
• Swan Cruise (From CAD $166–$373 per person): Great option for nature lovers to the quieter Bai Tu Long Bay
• Orchid Classic Cruise (From CAD $266–$563 per person): Traditional charm with excellent onboard service

Note: Cruise rates vary by travel date, cabin type, and promotions.

The cost of a 2-day, 1-night Halong Bay cruise varies based on the cruise class, amenities, and inclusions. Here is an approximate price range:

• Budget Cruises (3-star): From CAD $156–$280+ per person
• Mid-range Cruises (4-star): From CAD $180–$310+ per person
• Luxury Cruises (5-star): From CAD $200–$479+ per person

These prices generally include overnight accommodation, meals, onboard activities (such as cooking classes and tai chi), and excursions like cave visits and kayaking. However, transportation between Hanoi and the cruise port is usually not included and costs an additional CAD $60 per person for a round-trip shuttle.

Note: Prices are approximate and may vary based on the cruise operator, season, and departure date.
