Hi there, I am planning a trip to Halong bay with your Cruise. We are 3 adults with 1-year old infant by the traveling time (late August this year). 2 questions, 1st question : how much do you charge the infant of 1 year ? 2nd question : we want to use a private car for the transfer from and back to Hanoi. for 3 adults and 1 infant, what kind of car will be suitable and how much will it cost? on the booking page, I could see a private car of cost 120 USD (named 'Sedan') but indicating only 2 adults with 1 child. Would not it be enough for us? thank you for your reply in advance.

Hi dear, I would like to use your family suite, 2 days 1 night cruise tour on 20 Nov. But I wondered that It includes the shuttle fee from and to hanoi hotel. Do I have to add extra service for round trip transportation (hanoi - halong bay)? My hotel will be in Hanoi, old quauter.
Answered by Cindy | Oct. 19, 2016 02:04
Dear Sandra, Thank you for contacting us! Regarding your question about Aphrodite cruise, please be advised that the shuttle bus is not included in cruise's fare. The cost is US$30/person for round trip Hanoi hotel - Halong. This can be added when you confirm your reservation. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Answered by Cindy | Sep. 04, 2016 05:39
Dear Kyungmin, Unfortunately Aphrodite Cruise is fully booked on 10 November already and not available until later. November is one of the busy months in Halong Bay. For alternatives, please consider Bhaya Cruise or Pelican cruise, both share similar price range and quality to Aphrodite Cruise! Best regards,

Hi, Can you pick up from Vietnam Hanoi Merci Hotel (32 Ly Thai To Street,Old Quarter,Hoan Kiem District, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, Vietnam ) ?
Asked by Kim | Aug. 19, 2016 02:13
I'd like to make a reservation for 3 adults in November. I want to ask you just two questions, before I reserve. Is there any extra charge excluding tips and personal shopping? (kayaking, shuttle, guide fee, karaoke... etc) Plus, Is there a balcony with family room?
Answered by Sunny | Aug. 22, 2016 12:14
Dear Mr. Kim, Thank you for contacting us. Please note that the balcony cabin can only hold maximum 2 adults. If you want to stay together, I recommend you to take family cabin but this cabin does not have balcony. The cost for 2 day trip already includes kayaking, shuttle, guide fee, etc.. Please don't worry!

HI, I NEED TO KNOW IF I CAN GO WITH LUGGAGE (two bigs suitcases) BECAUSE I WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE AIRPORT AFTER THE CRUISE .

Dear Mr. Gonzalo, Thank you for contacting us! It's totally fine to bring the suite cases with you - you can leave it in the lockers at our lounge, or bring on board with you, whichever is more convenient. If you have any questions please let me know!

Hi there, I have 2 questions (1) Is kayaking available for the 2D1N tour? (2) If I stay at a hotel near the bay with walkable distance to your cruise boat. Do I need the shuttle bus service?
Answered by Lisa | Jul. 25, 2016 10:25
Dear Sophia, Thank you so much for your question. If you are close to our pier, you can surely walk to the waiting lounge and do not need the shuttle bus transfer service. If you need to return to Hanoi at the end of your trip, you can go with one way shuttle bus transfer Halong - Hanoi. We offer free of charge kayaking option for 2days 1night for Aphrodite Cruise passengers. Please make a request when you book on our website. If you have any other questions please feel free to let us know.
Asked by Hoyle Kim | Jul. 22, 2016 10:52
Hi, I am planning on a 2-day Halong Bay cruise tour in early October. We have 2 adults, a 12-year old big boy and a 9-year old girl in our family, and I would like to know if a Family Suite room will be enough for us, and understanding that the room is for 3 adults, whether or not I have to pay for the meal of the 9-year older separately.
Answered by Cindy | Jul. 22, 2016 10:53
Dear Hoyle, Thank you for contacting us! The price for family suite on our website is based on 3 adults, and kids under 12 are charged 75% adult rate on top of that. As the family suite has 1 double and 2 single beds, I think it will work just fine for your family! If you have any questions please let us know!

Asked by KIM KYUNGHEE | Jul. 19, 2016 03:18
HI, We are 3 members of family, all adults. I saw your cruise options and found family suite to be suitable for us. Our check-in date will be 13/10/2016 for 1 night and 2 days stay and I saw the official price on you web $450. Is this price for 3 adults or do I have to pay extra?
Answered by Cindy | Jul. 19, 2016 03:20
Dear Kim, Thank you for contacting us. The price $450 as listed is for 3 adults and you don't have to pay extra for the third adult. Please note however that the price listed does not yet include transfer round trip from Hanoi to Halong Bay and back ($30/person/round trip by shuttle bus). If you have any other questions please let me know!

Answered by Sunny | Jul. 18, 2016 09:35
Dear Park, Thank you very much for contacting us. As you are a group of 5, the most cost saving options will be taking a family suite and a luxury window cabin - we can arrange them side by side for you. As for the transfer, we can surely upgrade from shuttle bus to private limousine for your group. Best regards,

Staff did an excellent job. They took care of everyone so well and were always friendly and enthusiastic. The bed was so comfy.
Although the excursion was nice to visit, the crowds were too much and caused the long waiting line. The cruising time was not long as we expected since the ship puts the anchor right after reaching and finishing the excursion.Cruise quality 9 Food/Drink 10 Cabin quality 10 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 9 -

Beautiful ship. The most comfortable bed I've slept in on our trip. Although the ship is aged compared with many other cruises, we still recommend Aphrodite if you like the traditional style. Food was superb, too.
