Why Choose Cat Ba Island Cruise
As the biggest island in the Gulf of Tonkin, located on the way from Halong Bay to Lan Ha Bay, Cat Ba Island is one of the most popular attractions in the Bay with the marvelous Trung Trang Cave, Nation Park with the complicated ecosystem, tranquil Viet Hai fishing village, beautiful beaches and a long coastal line which are suitable for many joyful activities such as swimming, walking, and biking.
- Luxury facilities: Most Cat Ba cruises are 4 - 5-star ships offering 10 - 43 cabins which are at least 25m2 large, have impressive designs and full amenities. You will have many options with spa & fitness, jacuzzi pool, private balcony, even mini golf, boutique shop, and live kitchen.
- Reasonable price: Cat Ba Island cruise prices are varied due to the boat standard, the length of tours, and the cruise brands' reputation. However, as all cruises here are luxury, the prices among these aren't different so much. The obvious difference is in the price between the 2d1n and 3d1n tours.
A Cat Ba Island Cruise - Peony Cruise
For the best 2d1n itinerary of the Cat Ba cruise, you should book Mon Cheri, Indochine, Ginger, and Stellar of the Seas. On the other hand, some cruises only have Cat Ba in their 3d2n itineraries such as Heritage Binh Chuan (4d3n itinerary available) which allows you to spend more time exploring and enjoying.

Next month, my family is planning to celebrate my father's birthday on a Cat Ba cruise. However, my father has asthma and is sensitive to cold weather, so I'm concerned about the temperature in Vietnam during that time. I would also like to inquire if the cruises provide respiratory medications or if we should bring our own.
