Most Lan Ha Bay cruises offer a wide range of cabins to suit different types of travellers.

• Couples: Most cruises offer double suites (king or queen bed) with a private balcony and a jacuzzi/bathtub. Higher-end choices include honeymoon, executive, or premium suites, perfect for special occasions. Prices typically range from £350 to £1,000 per couple for 2 nights, depending on the cruise class.
• Families: You can choose between connecting cabins (two separate but adjoining rooms) or a family suite (one large cabin) that fits 4–5 people. Both options often include private balconies and larger living spaces. Expect to pay £1,000–£2,000 per family of four for 2 nights on a mid- to luxury cruise.
• Solo travellers: Budget-friendly cabins are available on 3-star cruises, usually with a glass window instead of a balcony. If you prefer more comfort and privacy, you can book a balcony suite on a 4-star cruise. Solo prices start from around £300–£400 for 2 nights.

A 3-day, 2-night Lan Ha Bay cruise offers a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.

• Kayaking at scenic spots such as Ao Ech Lagoon or Dark & Bright Cave (bamboo boat option also available for non-paddlers)
• Swimming in crystal-clear waters around Ba Trai Dao Islets, famous for sandy beaches and calm bays
• Cycling in Viet Hai Village on Cat Ba Island to see local life and lush landscapes
• Exploring caves and hidden lagoons away from tourist crowds like Trung Trang Cave
• Onboard activities include Vietnamese cooking class, Sunset Party and Happy Hours, Morning Tai Chi, and Night squid fishing (seasonal)

The 3-day cruise goes deeper into Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Island with more time for activities like cycling in Viet Hai Village, exploring Trung Trang Cave, and swimming at Ba Trai Dao Islets. It offers a slower, more immersive experience than the 2-day option.

Both options are worth experiencing. A 2-day, 1-night cruise is more budget-friendly and ideal if you’re short on time. A 3-day, 2-night cruise lets you explore secluded parts of the bay with extra activities like cycling, swimming, and cave visits.
