FAQs
For most travelers, 2 days 1 night is the ideal time to get a glimpse of Halong Bay for the following reasons:
- Time-efficient: 2D1N cruise takes around 24 hours, which is suitable for those who have scanty time
- Reasonable: The prices are more cost-saving than the 3 days 2 night cruise trips
- Well-organized: The itinerary is sufficient enough to discover 2 - 3 highlight attractions
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.
| 1 Night | 2 Nights | |
| Time length | Quite short to fully discover (24 hours) | More time to explore deeper (48 hours) |
| Attractions | 2 - 3 places to visit | 4 - 6 places to visit |
| Price | From US $108/pax | From US $219/pax |
The price for a 2-day, 1-night Halong Bay cruise typically ranges from US $108 to $675 per person. However, transportation fees are not included in the package.
An additional charge of approximately US $20 per way per person applies for pickup from Hanoi. This means the total cost for a two-day Halong Bay tour from Hanoi, including round-trip transfers, starts at around US $150 per person.
A 2-day, 1-night Halong Bay cruise offers a balanced mix of sightseeing and relaxation. Here is a typical schedule:
Onboard Activities

- Cooking class (often making spring rolls)
- Sunset party, happy hour drinks, or canapés
- Night squid fishing, movie, or live music
- Morning tai chi on the sundeck

We wish to book the 1 night 2day Halong Bay Cruise but We have a few questions first. 1. What Hotels do you pick up from ? We were told if you want the luxury small van to pick up and drive direct to Halong Bay that you only pick up from the French Quarter Hotels, if so what hotels do we have to choose from? ( We don't want a large bus stopping at multiple hotels) We would like to book Cabins 201 & 202 Elegance Suite on the upper deck Our booking dates are 11th March 2025 departing and returning 12th March 2025 (1 night 2 day cruise)
Hello, the bus will pick up about 3-4 point and can pick you around Old Quarter or French Quarter. The cabin can not be assign ahead but we will take note your preference.
