Overview of Halong Bay Mid-range Cruises
Finding a cruise with great services at a reasonable price? Well, it’s not that hard to find the one that can satisfy you. The answer is right in BestPrice Travel's list of the best 4-star cruises in Halong Bay.
What are the differences between Halong Bay 4-star mid-range cruise and a 5-star luxury cruise? The 3 biggest criteria are the size, the price, and the facilities.
- Cruise ship size: Most of the 4-star cruises are smaller than the 5-star ones. Only a few mid-range boats have 4 decks and have more than 20 cabins, there are usually 2 - 3 decks in this type of cruise and the number of cabins is just about 15 on average.
- Cabin area: As the size of ships is not so big, there are not many cruises that can provide standard cabins at more than 20m2. They are still very comfortable as all the necessary amenities and facilities that you need are available.
- Facilities & amenities: There are also a restaurant, a bar, a spa, and a large sundeck on almost 4-star cruises. A few cruise ships offer an outdoor jacuzzi, a mini golf, or a library so that you can enjoy your trip conveniently and joyfully.
Cruise Route & Itinerary
The itineraries for you to choose from when traveling with a 4-star Halong Bay cruise are diverse. There are 3 main destinations following the full-day, 2d1n, and 3d2n routes in the bay.
- Lan Ha Bay: The top trending travel route with most of the new cruise ships which focus on relaxation and high-class experience. The most popular itinerary visits Dark & Bright Cave, Ba Trai Dao Islet, and Viet Hai Village.
- Halong Bay: The second most popular on the classic itinerary which allows you to enjoy typical activities like cave visiting, kayaking, and bamboo boat rowing at Sung Sot Cave, Luon Cave, and Ti Top Island.
- Bai Tu Long Bay: The top favorite itinerary for those who prefer less touristy areas and relaxing vacations. Let's enjoy a cruise trip to Thien Canh Son Cave, Vung Vieng Village, and Cong Do - Cong Dam.

The price for 1 night on these new cruises is a little higher than the old ones, but with all the best experience they can bring to you, these boats are absolutely worth it.

Hello I am planning a trip to Vietnam for my honeymoon and would like to take a cruise in Halong Bay. It would be on June 1st for either a full day or 2 night 1 day cruise. Our flight leaves on the 3rd at 2am and we would like to spend some time in Hanoi before we leave, so I'm not sure if it would be better to take a full day cruise and enjoy more time in Hanoi or a 2 day 1 night cruise and spend the afternoon only in Hanoi. As for the cruise I would like one that goes to Halong Bay where we can see Sung Sot Cave or Thien Cung Cave as well as Trong Mai islet and Din Houng islet. As for the activities I would to go swimming and kayaking, visit a floating village or Titop island and do Tai Chi in the morning if we take an overnight cruise. Is there any cruises that offer this and how much would it cost? Thank you

Hi Rachael ,
If you have enough time i think 2 days 1night cruise is more suitable and not too rush.
May I know more detail about time you arrive Hanoi on 1 Jun?

@mahlavat: Normally Halong Cruise start about noon (between 12:00 - 12:30) and ending next day about 11:00. And yes all the boats could arrange vegetarian food for the traveller too. Please have look at each cruise option and give me the one you prefer. I will help you process the booking.
