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!

@Davi:

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:

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.
