About Orchid Trendy Cruise
Previously known as Azalea, Orchid Trendy is one of the most popular choices for visitors to Lan Ha Bay, offering a quality trip at reasonable price.

The most renovation in 2021 has brought new touch to Orchid Trendy, with added amenities such as a large jacuzzi on the front of the cruise, new wall murals and sofas, promising a trip to remember.

Answered by Cindy | Sep. 13, 2018 01:05
Dear Mr. Lee, Thank you for contacting us! You still have enough time to join the cruise the same day no worries. As the bus only collects from Hanoi Old Quarter, you need to take a taxi to the center of Hanoi by 9:30am to join the bus or you can take a taxi straight to the pier (2 hour drive). The taxi will cost about $100 for one way and shuttle bus costs $20/person/way. Best regards,

Hi, I am looking at booking a cruise for the 9th of July for 2 nights, 3 days. Does the cruise include pick up from the Lotte hotel in Hanoi? and where would we get dropped off in Hanoi on the 11th as we need to catch a flight to Da Nang that evening? Thanks
Answered by Jolie | Jun. 19, 2018 12:01
Dear Ben Wilkinson, 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. I am sorry that we do not have any deal of Free shuttle bus on your travel date. The cost of shuttle bus is US$ 36/person/round trip, however, the pickup area is in Hanoi Old Quarter only thus you will have to take a taxi to our office at 72 Hang Trong Street to wait for the bus. On the way back, the bus will drop you off in the Old Quarter only and you can take a taxi to the airport yourselves. However, the drop-off time is around 2:00 - 2:30 PM thus I am sure you will have enough time for your flight in the evening. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)

As far as I understand when I read your itinerary, I can start from Dinh Vu port in Hai-phong. Is it possible? I will go to Hai-phong in 17th Nov. The arrival time to the airport will be 11 am. From what time should I go to Dinh Vu Port? And after cruise, Can I go to Hanoi with your return bus? Please explain more detail. Thanks.
Answered by Lisa | Aug. 01, 2017 11:46
Dear DJ Lee, Thank you for your question! It is correct that Azalea cruise departs from Hai Phong. If you arrive at 11:00am, you can still arrive on time for the cruise (boarding time is around 12:15-12:30pm) - it takes just 30 minutes to get from Hai Phong airport to the pier. You can return to Hanoi by shuttle bus after the pier. One way fee bus is $20/person. Best regards, Lisa (Ms.)
Asked by Phil Harney | Jul. 28, 2017 11:01
Hi, In reviewing your ship I see that you open for business late Nov 2017. Does that ship depart daily for 3D/2N trips. I'm aware that the orchid sails back to the port to drop off and pick up on the 2nd day of a 3D/2N trip, is this the same process? So Can I book any day to start my trip. Was thinking 13th March 2018? Also when going to book the cruise on the website, it only offer the luxury room. Which is great (appears best room on board the vessel). Would this be the exact as the pictures detail? Appreciated your feedback. Phil
Answered by Cindy | Jul. 28, 2017 11:02
Dear Phi Harney, Thank you for your email! Yes, please be advised that the Azalea cruise departs daily for both 2 day and 3 day trip, as the boat will sail back to the port for pick up and drop off on the second day and in house guest will transfer to day boat for further activities thus you can choose any day. We have uploaded the most accurate information we have so far on website for this new cruise, and let us know if you have any question! Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Greatings Me and my wife found your cruise to have great conditions for the Halong Bay area. We wanted to know more information: - How will the cruise mannagement procede if there is a cancelation of the cruise due to bad weather (we cannot find the cruise policy: refunds? other arrangements?) - What would happen if the cruise is not ready at 10th of November? Our best regards Tiago and Lúcia

Please see our policy for trip cancellation due to bad weather below: 1/ If the tour is cancelled in advance with prior notice, full refund will be made. 2/ If the tour is cancelled midway through, you will be charged for service already use (such as shortened cruise trip, or breakfast, or shuttle bus, whichever applies in specific case). The cruise is guaranteed to run from 1 November as we are almost booked for the beginning of November please no worries. In the rare case that it does not operate by then, you will receive full refund OR Free upgrade to higher class cruise (at your acceptance). I hope this information addresses well your question.

Asked by Amanda Fenn | Jun. 06, 2017 10:56
Greetings from Canada. Is this cruise operated by the same company who are running Orchid cruise? My friend advised me to choose Orchid cruise, however, I wish to experience a newly launched cruise for our honeymoon. Any advice?, should I choose this one or Orchid cruise? Could you also prepare anything special for us? Many thanks!!
Answered by Hana | Jun. 06, 2017 11:00
Dear Ms. Amanda Fenn, Many thanks for your question. Yes, Azalea is operated by the same company as Orchid cruise and one of the most reputable liners in Halong Bay. Actually both Azalea and Orchid follow the same itinerary and share similar quality standard, only boat layout is different. Orchid cruise has fewer cabins and larger rooms, so if you do not mind the budget and prefer more privacy, you can take Orchid. Otherwise Azalea is also a great alternative as well (all of Azalea's cabins has balcony, bathtub and TV too). For your honeymoon, staff on board will set up your room to honeymoon theme, and prepare cake and candles for your celebration. If you wish to have private table set up please inform us in advance. Best regards
Asked by Peter Chan | Mar. 29, 2017 12:25
Hello, We are planning to book this cruise for our trip to Halong Bay on November 28th. Will the cruise be running then for sure? What type of cabin has balcony?
Answered by Sunny | Jun. 29, 2017 12:36
Dear Mr. Peter, Thank you very much for your question. Azalea Cruise will start service on November 1st 2017 so you can surely book your trip from now. All cabins on Azalea has private balcony so you can choose whichever type of cabin you prefer. Best regards,

The ship is well maintained and has a modern interior. We booked 2 nights and had a chance to visit different areas on Cat Ba Island. The biking trip was nice and kayaking to Dark- Bright Cave was impressive. Recommended!

The trip to Lan Ha Bay was very nice. We had a Halong Bay tour years ago and Lan Ha Bay could not be underestimated. The bay was calm and stunning. Although there are quite a lot of boats now, this area is still less touristic in my opinion. Kayaking on the bay was very nice.Cruise quality 10 Food/Drink 10 Cabin quality 10 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 10 -
