Questions & Answers (78)
Hello, can you please provide me with offers for a 3 days /2nights cruise starting July 5th for 2 persons? Is a pickup from Cat Ba possible? Thank you.
Hi! AsCat Ba cruises don't start from Cat Ba island, so there's no picking up from Cat Ba. As Cat Ba island is a part of cruise itinerary, we suggest you don't have to get there on your own, just try the cruise only as the island is included.
Our best suggestions for cruise include:
- Nostalgia Cruise - from $574/cabin
- Indochine Cruise - from $614/cabin
- La Regina Legend Cruise - from $616/cabin
Can you suggest a Cat Ba cruise with US $130/ pax for a family with 4 people ( 2 adults plus 2 kids aged both 8)? Travel in January or April will be better (we are considering in terms of weather, don't want too cold). Thanks for your advice.
We have the Sena which about 145 USD/person and Apr is better weather.

Hi there, I'm currently searching for a Cat Ba Island cruise for either a 2-day or 3-day trip starting on Jan 18th. I'm specifically interested in booking a room with a double bed and a balcony. Are there any current best offers or deals available that you can recommend?

Hi there, I'm looking to book a 3-day/2-night cruise in Cat Ba Island with my girlfiend. We would like to visit from January 2nd to 5th.

Thank you in advance!
We have the cruise offer pick up or visit Cat Ba, not overnight here, is it ok for you? Also may I know your budget.
