FAQs
To fully experience Halong Bay, a three-day cruise is the best option for the following reasons:
- Diverse attractions: The program includes 3-5 places to visit, from limestone caves to fishing villages, islands, and pearl farms.
- Extra time: 3D2N cruise takes around 48 hours with an extra day (compared to 2D1N) to explore further the bay.
The main differences between the 3D2N and 2D1N cruises are the duration and price range. If you don't mind about travel time and budget, then definitely a 2-night cruise will be the best option for you.

Hi, We are looking for a 3 day /2 night Halong cruise in June. 2 adults 2 children 12 & 16 yrs, We would prefer a newer boat, connecting rooms. My daughter has diffiuwith some food especially seafood so we need a boat that can accommodate. My son is a very big eater so we need a boat that has decent portion sizes. I would like kayaking in light and Dark Caves to be included in the itinerary and we prefer a quiet location. Non smoking boat is also preferable. We have been looking at 4 and 5 star boats with pick up from old Quarter in Hanoi. There are too many options. Can you help?

Hi! For your request, we suggest below options:
- Essence Grand Cruise 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1584 (5-star, 2 cabins)
- Capella Cruise 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1572 (5-star, 1 family cabin)
- Indochine Premium Cruise 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1464 (5-star, 2 cabins)
- La Casta Cruise 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1256 (4-star, 2 cabins)
-
Sena Cruises 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1088 (4-star, 1 connecting cabin)
Cruising route that includes Dark and Light Cave is one of the top trending route, so it will be a little crowded. All boats are non-smoking inside and can be smoking at outside area.
About food, you can send your specific request to our travel consultant at least 2 days before your trip, and don't worry about the portion, usually, it isn't small.
The general kid policy is for children below 11 years old, therefore, your kids will be applied adult policy.
Please check your email for more information from our consultant.

We have no cruise from Hoi An, you should take a flight to Hanoi/ Hai Phong for the cruise. Let me know your budget so it is better for us to recommend you right one.
