Hello, we'll be arriving in Hanoi by train early morning (05.00am) on the 19th of July. Do you have a transfer/shuttle service from Hanoi to Ha Long for the overnight cruise? If so, where are the pick up points? Thank you!

We're looking for a cruise to Bai Tu Long and find this cruise suitable for our budget. We need two cabins for our group of 4 (on the 2nd floor if possible). Can you check the dates for the 20th & 21st for me?

Are the activities on this cruise suitable for kids under 4 years old? Is there any baby cot service on board?

@Nina P:
Hi there, we believe the cooking class and rowing boat are ok with your 4-year-old kid (accompanied with parents). About the baby cot service, if you really need that, the 5-star cruise is a better choice. Cabins of this boat are really small for that.

From the very beginning, I communicated with Rosie Nhung Nguyen, and she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. I also celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary during the trip, and Rosie went the extra mile by arranging a room upgrade and a bottle of wine. I’m still amazed at how flawlessly everything came together.
From the amazing food, the excursion to activities, all was great. We would definitely recommend this cruise.
Hope to come back again!
Thank you, Hang, it was great!

The boat is new as you mentioned, cabins are nicely decorated, staff is very friendly and helpful, everything is on high level. Unfortunately my friend got food poisoning (before the cruise) and stayed most of the time in the cabin, so she didn’t take full advantage of the cruise, but the crew took a good care of her and the cabin itself was a very comfortable and clean place to stay in. We had amazing views right from the bed. I enjoyed the guided tours and food services as well. A big thank you for this upgrade! Less
