Operated since mid-April 2017, Athena Cruise seeks to deliver a one-of-its kind trip to the natural world heritage site of Halong Bay. There are 4 types of cabins spreading over 3 decks: Executive suites, Elegant Suite, Terrace suite and Family Suite.
Restaurants and sundecks are both spacious and well-equipped to make sure you will enjoy every single moment being on board. You can spend your leisure time reading books or watching sunset with 360 degree view from the top deck, or indulge in luxury spa service.
All staffs of Athena are well trained and always try to go out of their way to keep their inhouse guests happy all throughout the trip.
Transfer to Halong Bay (shuttle bus or private car, not included in cabin price).
AfternoonTake a tender to the main vessel. Be warmly welcomed by friendly crews and receive a complimentary drink with brief introduction and safety guidelines. Check in your cabin and enjoy lunch. Arrive at Cong Do area then transfer by tender to visit Thien Canh Son Cave. As the cruise heads further into Bai Tu Long Bay you will enjoy the magnetic beauty of this world wonder.
Return to boat and sail to Cap La island where you can kayak for about 45 minutes.
EveningIn early evening you can enjoy Happy Hour on sundeck, or learn how to make Vietnamese food with the cooking class. Later dinner will be served and followed by free time for dinner activity.
Early risers can head to sundeck for a morning Tai Chi session. Light breakfast will be served, just before your visit to Vung Vieng fishing village. Return to main board and free time to relax. Later check out of your cabin and enjoy a delicious brunch as the cruise heads back to pier.

Hello, May I ask is there any private car go directly to the airport from the cruise when the day I check out the room? Or I have to get on same shuttle bus to Hanoi and find a way to the airport myself? Thanks!!

Dear Ms. Bella, Thank you for your question. My name is Cindy from Halong Bay Tour department and I'm glad to assist you with your trip Yes, we do offer private car service driving directly from the cruise to the airport so you do not have to use shuttle bus service.

Asked by Lisa Ha | Dec. 03, 2020 08:50
When exploring the cave, how much time will we be there walking around and exploring?
Answered by Amber | Dec. 03, 2020 08:54
Dear Lisa Ha, Thank you for your email. My name is Amber from Halong Bay Tour department and I'm glad to assist you with your trip. At this time, Athena cruises visit Sung Sot Cave and Ti Top Island on Halong bay instead of Thien Canh Son cave and Vung Vieng village in Bai Tu Long bay. You will have around 50 minutes walking around and exploring the cave. Could you provide me your travel date so I can check availability for you. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any questions. Best regards, Amber (Ms.)
Asked by Samantha Sumarli | Jan. 16, 2019 12:23
Hi There, I'd like to check what time we arrive back in Hanoi with the shuttle option as I have a flight that evening at 7.10pm. Thank you!
Asked by miyu | Jul. 25, 2018 05:02
Please tell me the detail of transfer . Do you pick me up at hotel or do I need to go the meeting place by my self? Is it possible to pick me up at Air port if you have picking up service.
Answered by Jolie | Jul. 25, 2018 05:03
Dear Ms. Miyu, Thank you for your email. My name is Jolie from Halong Bay Tours department and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. The shuttle bus can pick you up directly at your hotel if it locates in Hanoi Old Quarter area. Otherwise, you will have to take a taxi to our office at 72 Hang Trong Street to wait for the bus. Besides, we can arrange a private car to pick you up straight at the airport to Ha Long at an extra cost US$ 110/sedan car for 2 persons. However, may I ask for your flight details? Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)
Asked by Yvonne Juch | Jan. 03, 2018 10:39
On the 2nd day after disembarking, we won't return to Hanoi. Instead we want to head for Hai Phong. Is it possible to get a transfer to Hai Phong?
Answered by Sunny | Jan. 04, 2018 10:32
Dear Ms. Yvonne Juch, Thank you for your email and if you do not use the shuttle bus back to Hanoi, you may need a taxi or private car transfer to Haiphong as our bus only do pick up and drop off clients within Hanoi Center/ Hanoi Old Quarter area. Thanks for your kind notice and understanding! Kind regards, Sunny (Ms)

Is Athena cruise running? DO you have availability Sept 28th for 4 people or 4th Oct ?
Answered by Cindy | Aug. 26, 2017 12:42
Thank you very much for your question. Athena Cruise is already running. We have special promotion for September 28th of $155/person including shuttle bus round trip so I think it's best you travel in September instead of October. In case you prefer to travel in October instead, the cost is $210/ persons including bus round trip. Best regards,

Asked by DIEGO | Mar. 29, 2017 11:31
Is it possible to catch an international flight on day 2 departing Hanoi 19:45?
Answered by Cindy | Mar. 29, 2017 11:32
Dear Mr. Diego, Yes, you can catch an international flight on day 2 departing Hanoi at 19.45 as the bus will return back Hanoi at around 4pm. Or to be sure, you can take a private car go directly from Halong to Hanoi airport. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)
Asked by Lily Lee | Mar. 16, 2017 05:55
What time shuttle departs Hanoi on day 1 What time shuttle arrive Hanoi on day 2 Is it possible to catch an international flight on day 2 departing Hanoi 17:00?
Answered by Cindy | Mar. 16, 2017 05:57
Dear Ms. Lee, Thank you for your question. Please note that the shuttle bus will return to Hanoi around 4:30-5:00pm - so you cannot catch the flight ontime. If you wish to take the flight at 17:00 you can take a private transfer from the pier and will reach Hanoi Airport around 2:00pm. If you have any question please let me know!
