I am trying to find a 5 star cruise for 2 days (1 night), but i am trying to find out what I can best do if I am staying at Cat ba Island. All the cruises seem to depart from ha long bay or there is only tranfer from hanoi. What can I best do? Is there a easy way for us to book a luxury cruise and have ferry transfer from ha long?

I am looking for a top luxury cruise (we have heard there is a boat with a luxury cabin that includes a private sauna. An outdoor private spa/jacuzzi on the deck of a cabin would also be a great asset. We are wanting 3 days 2 nights (although we're completely flexible on this aspect) but the luxury status of the cruise ship is the most important thing we are looking for. What would you recommend? We are hoping to travel mid March 2025. Kind Regards
You can have look at some new boat like Grand Pioners, Venus, Catherine... that offer the services as you mention.

We plan to stay in a Hanoi hotel which will be convenient for us to take the Sao Viet luxury sleeper bus (with onboard toilet) to SAPA on March 20-23 (3 nights). Please advise the following: - your transport charges for the various transfers during my whole trip including sleeper bus. - the Halong bay ambassador cruise. - your hotel recommendation at our Ninh Binh stay convenient for us to be free and easy touring tam coc and the an Trang river etc - your hotel recommendation at Hanoi Thank you.
