Yes, most 4-star Halong Bay cruises can accommodate special diets such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-friendly meals. To ensure smooth arrangements:

  • Notify the cruise operator in advance (ideally at the time of booking) so the cruise can plan ingredients.

@Oscar:

You can check Pelican Cruise (Halong Bay route), or, if you want fewer tourists, refer to Sena Cruise (Lan Ha Bay route).

The price includes a welcome drink, entrance & sightseeing fees, an in-house English-speaking tour guide, luxury cabins & suites with A/C, all meals on board, kayaking & other activities, insurance & service charges.

Hi, we are two couples and did have a look at Cozy Bay cruise and Paradise Sails cruise and they look pretty appealing. Could you please confirm if these cruises are available for 27 and 28th November? Could you also please give us a few options available for these dates for a couple of budget cruises just so we can do a comparison and browse through them.

@Vijani:

Till now the cruise still available on your travel date so but Paradise Sails is a 4 star cruise so the price will be more expensive than Cozy Bay Cruise. If you are looking for another budget cruise there will be Oriental Sails available

@Chris Hall:

All the mid range cruise can support with person limited mobility. You can note for him to stay at first floor so that he don't have to climb stair
