Halong Bay Overnight Cruises: 160+ Options Available

Question 1

1. Should I stay overnight in Halong Bay Cruise?

Answer

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.

3. What’s the price difference between luxury and mid-range overnight cruises?

Answer

Luxury Halong Bay cruises cost around SGD 250 - 400 per person for 2D1N, while mid-range options are about SGD 160 - 240.

Luxury gives you larger cabins, fine dining, and high-class amenities, ideal for couples or family trips.
Mid-range cruises are value-for-money, with nice services, decent comfort, and standard inclusions.

Tip: If it's your first time or a short getaway, mid-range is great. For anniversaries or relaxing in style, go luxury.

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:

Amethyst Day Cruise - from $65/person
Jade Sails - from $99/person

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.
