I hope this message finds you well. I am interested in booking a luxury cruise from Ha Long Bay to Hoi An and would like to inquire about the details of such a journey. Specifically: 1. Are there any cruises that travel directly from Ha Long Bay to Hoi An? 2. Would it be possible to disembark at Hoi An and conclude the journey there? 3. Could you please provide information about the itinerary, pricing, and availability for this route? Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response!

Hi Lee! Thanks for your message. At present, there's no cruise from Halong Bay to Hoi An. However, we can provide you a full package tour including Halong Bay cruise and Hoi An at 5-star standard. You can take a look at some of our best itineraries including reference price for 5-star service:

On the other hand, if you need a tour with only Halong Bay cruise and Hoi An (end of your trip here also), we can help you to customize. Please send more information about your request including: departure date, number of people (adult & children) to our email: sales@bestpricetravel.com or Whatsapp: +84904699428
