Hello,
I’m interested in Era cruise package. Though, I have a question on free limousine shuttle. How long does it take from Hanoi to Ha Long? Is that route use a new high way?
Wish it is not a long way.

01/08/2022Generally. The cruise ship wasn't as luxurious as I thought. There were too few activities. Maybe there could have been some explanation of the history and stories of Halong Bay, some key sights.
There could also have been more stops. Perhaps visit more caves? Quite a few times we were just stationary.

23/07/2022Our cruise with Era Cruises was the highlight since a great trip through Lan Ha Bay is less crowded and has extraordinary views. We stayed in a King Suite in the spacious and luxury accommodation. The cruise program was well organized, and the crew was amazing. Especially, the food was beyond our expectations… More Our cruise with Era Cruises was the highlight since a great trip through Lan Ha Bay is less crowded and has extraordinary views.

Especially, the food was beyond our expectations as a vegetarian I found no issues. Hopefully, we can back to our incredible Halong Bay overnight cruise. Less

27/06/2022The overnight Halong Bay cruise with Era was a superb experience. We spent 2 days enjoying the luxury stay on board and admiring the beautiful bay. The staff of the Era Cruise and BestPrice Travel were both nice and helpful. Highly recommend it to everyone!

30/05/2022We had so much fun during our overnight stay on Era Cruise. We enjoyed the facilities, activities, and cuisine. The tour guide was really attentive and entertaining. BestPrice Travel staff were also helpful. They helped me in booking the luxury bus transfer between Hanoi and Halong Bay. All in all, it was really a great cruise experience!

28/05/2022Fantastic trip. Highlight was the kayaking and cooking demonstration. The crew were very attentive and enthusiastic. Era cruise was the first luxury overnight I've ever taken in Halong bay. Worth-trying!
