FAQs
A Halong Bay cruise 2 nights is the best option to fully explore the bay 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: The 3D2N cruise takes around 48 hours with an extra day (compared to 2D1N) to explore further the bay.
The 3D2N cruise average price ranges fromUS $160to$700per person. The cruise packages do not include the transportation fee, so you have to pay an extra (around US $20/ way/ pax) for the pick-up from Hanoi.
Yes, 3-day cruises typically venture deeper into less touristy areas that 2-day trips skip. While the first day covers popular highlights, Day 2 often takes you to hidden gems such as:
- Cong Dam or Vung Vieng Fishing Village in Bai Tu Long Bay—peaceful areas with traditional floating houses
- Ba Trai Dao Islets in Lan Ha Bay—scenic spots ideal for kayaking and swimming
- Tien Ong Cave or Thien Canh Son Cave—lesser-known caves with fewer crowds
- Viet Hai Village on Cat Ba Island—a quiet, bike-accessible village surrounded by jungle and mountains
These extra stops offer a more tranquil and authentic experience of the bay, with time for activities like kayaking, biking, beach visits, and interacting with locals.
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.

Questions & Answers (47)
Do you do a package 13-15th September where you can pick up from Ninh Binh (Trans An Ecolodge) to go to Ha Long Bay Cruise x3 nights, then after the cruise you lift back to old quarter hotel Hanoi?
Yes most the cruise we can pick you from Ninh Binh with surcharge bus fees.
I'm looking to travel to Vietnam on 2nd November and I want to go on a 2 night Cruise. I see you offer airport collection. My flight from Hong Kong would land in Noi Bai International Airport at 8:45am. Is it possible to be collected and taken to the cruise at this time? I don’t know how long it will take to get out of the airport, but assuming it would be around 9:30am.
Hi! With your arrival time, it seems quite rush and risky to get to the habour on-time for your Halong Bay cruise as it cost you at least 2.5 hours to transfer from Noi Bai International Airport to the habour and usually cruises depart from 11.30am - 12.00pm. We suggest you should spend your first day in Hanoi and then have Halong cruise for the next day.
I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently exploring cruise options for a 3-day crusise for my family and had a few questions I was hoping you could assist with. We’ll be travelling with our 4-year-old child and wanted to ask:
• Does a child of that age pay full price, or are there any discounts or special rates available?
• Would it be possible for a 4-year-old to be accommodated in a standard 2-person cabin with parents?
• Would our child need to pay for the transfer to and from Hanoi?
• Could you recommend which of your cruises are particularly suitable for young children or offer family-friendly activities?
• Are there any cruises in your fleet that feature a swimming pool onboard? We’d really appreciate any details or suggestions you can provide as we plan our trip.
Thanks for contacting us.
Depend on your child age, if under 5 some cruise offer free of charge, child need to share bed, share bus seats with parents. If child need own seats on bus/ extra bed surcharge will be applied.
Is there any longer cruises that 3 day 2 nights?
We have fews option for 3 nights, you can have look.
Looking at 3 d 2 n Halong bay cruise for 4 adults, leaving on 7 march , any suggestions budget around $1000 dollars aus per couple . Thanks
We will send you option via email
