Halong Bay 3 Days, 2 Nights Cruises

A Halong Bay cruise 2 nights is the best option to fully explore the bay for the following reasons:

• Diverse attractions: The program includes 3-5 places to visit, from limestone caves to fishing villages, islands, and pearl farms.
• Extra time: The 3D2N cruise takes around 48 hours with an extra day (compared to 2D1N) to explore further the bay.

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.

Cruise rates usually range from INR ₹21,200 to INR ₹60,700 per person, depending on the cruise class and season. In case you prefer a private cruise, the 3-day trip may cost around INR ₹76,800–₹137,500 per person.

Note: Shuttle service from Hanoi costs around INR ₹2,500–₹4,000 each way, which is not included in the cruise package.
