@dniki:
We have no bus from Hanoi Airport to Cat Ba, you can transfer to Hanoi Old Quarter (tourist bus) or My Dinh bus station (local bus) to catch the bus. The 4 hours cruise we have option from budget to luxury and start in Morning or afternoon. I do recommend you transfer to My Dinh to catch local bus first then next day cruise in the Monring. Please give me the date and number of person to check available for you.
