FAQs
Certainly! An overnight cruise lets you experience the beauty of Halong Bay beyond the surface and reach further into the bay, especially the less-touristy parts. It’s far more immersive than a day cruise and gives you time to kayak, explore caves, enjoy great food, and unwind in comfort.
Here are several highlights of a Halong Bay overnight cruise:
- Best way to explore: Allows you to fully immerse yourself in various islands, caves, and stunning landscapes, maximizing your overall experience.
- Proper itinerary: Well-planned itinerary that includes visits to both popular destinations and unspoiled areas, including fun onboard and off-board activities.
- Reasonable price: The package usually includes accommodation, meals, and various activities, making it a convenient and cost-effective option for a memorable Halong Bay experience.
Don't wait to research and book 1 night or 2 nights on a cruise for your trip now.
Both 2-day 1-night and 3-day 2-night cruises are popular, depending on your budget, travel style, and time.
- 1-night cruises are ideal for travelers with limited time. This option fits well in a short Vietnam itinerary, especially for first-time visitors and families.
- 2-night cruises offer a more relaxed and in-depth experience. You will have more time to explore less crowded areas, enjoy nature at a slower pace, and participate in extra activities like cycling or visiting floating villages.
Many travelers prefer 2 nights to fully appreciate the beauty of Halong Bay. If time permits, 2 nights are recommended for a richer and more memorable journey.
Most overnight cruises pack in a great mix of relaxation and soft adventure, such as:
- Kayaking/ rowing boating through lagoons and hidden caves.
- Visiting iconic spots like Sung Sot Cave, Dark & Bright Cave, etc.
- Swimming on an island like Titop/Cap La or in the area of Tra Bau.
- Sunset party, happy hour & cooking classes during dusk.
- Squid fishing at night.
- Tai Chi on deck at sunrise.
Longer cruises, like 2-night or 3-night, will add more engaging activities such as cycling (Viet Hai Village), visiting floating villages, exploring pearl farms, etc.
The overnight cruise's price is based on the travel date, length of stay, and service standard. Normally, it ranges from CAD 154 to 1836 per person. You can also refer to the price based on cruise standard and travel duration below:

We are travelling to Hanoi on a cruiseschip and we will arrive on the 6th. We would like to do a day cruise or overnight cruise but the itineraries don't match with our arrival or departure hours. We arrive the 6th at 11:15 am and leave the 7th at 7:00 pm. Are there any options for out situation? Thanks in advance!
Hi Davi! We understand your situation. In this case, it's quite risky for you to take the overnight cruise as your arrival time too close with the departure time of overnight cruise on 6th. However, as you depart on 7pm, 6th, a day cruise is a totally possible choice if your ship depart at Halong International Port or Cai Lan Port. The day cruise usually depart at around 10 am and arrive at 5.30 - 5.45 pm from Tuan Chau Port (only 15 - 20 minutes driving to Halong International/ Cai Lan Port).
You can consider our best suggestions for day cruise below:
- Amethyst Day Cruise - from $65/person
- Jade Sails - from $99/person
Hello! Are there any overnight boat cruises closer to Ho Chi Minh City? Most of them seem to be closer to Hanoi. Many thanks, Cynthia
Yes we have the mekong delta cruise, please check detail for offer.
I am looking to book a Ha Long Bay overnight cruise for 1 pax, departing 14 November from Hanoi for 2 days and 1 night. I would like to know what options there are and what the prices are (including all charges), especially for the Indochina Junk, Dragon Pearl Junk. Additionally, I would prefer a Bai Tu Long Bay or Lan Ha Bay route with activities similar to the Dragon Pearl Junk. My budget is around 100 USD.
If you travel alone there is a single charge and the budget will be higher than 100usd. And the cheapest one you can check for Renea Cruise with price about 190 USD.
I am coming to Hanoi on business from 15th July 2024. I was thinking of arriving on `14th July Morning and take a 2 day 1 night cruise to Halong bay.
