Meet your shuttle bus at 9.00-9.30 and arrive in Hanoi at 15:00. Hanoi Old Quarter is the pickup/drop-off place.

A lot of impressive activities for your experience such as doing Tai-chi sessions, visiting caves and fishing villages, joining cooking demonstrations, trying squid fishing, swimming ...

If you want to enjoy your trip with your family, we recommend these 2 types of the cabin for you. The first one is Deluxe Cabin which has 2 beds for 3 max guests. The other is Family Deluxe Cabin which has two separate rooms connected with a door like a two-room house. It can contain a maximum of 4 people.

Extra beds and single supplements are dependent on the room you choose. Please check the individual room capacity for more details.

Calypso provides you with a lunch or dinner buffet, and the cruise bar featuring rum punch, wine, and beer for extra order.

My partner and I enjoyed a two-night trip with Calypso. The ship was nicely decorated, and our room was comfy. The jacuzzi pool on the terrace was lovely. Love the breathtaking view from the sundeck. Just a minus that the quantity and quality of food should be improved.

I am considering a Calypso cruise 2 days 1 night for 2 pax on March 29th 2023. Pick up from Haiphong 29th March and drop off Hanoi 30th March. How much will it cost and can I pay at your Ho Chih Minh office on 26th or 27th March? Can I pay in Dong or must it be in US$? Thank you

You can pay in cash at our office in Saigon but should deposit first to avoid sold out all cabin. We will count by bank exchange rate at the payment time.
