Afternoon

Get on Calyso Cruise, enjoy welcome drink and cruise brief. The ship starts moving toward Lan Ha Bay while crew members are busy preparing your sumptuous lunch. After lunch, you will visit Dark-Bright cave by bamboo boat.

Come back to the boat, change your clothes to swim in the sea or dip in the jacuzzi pool onboard. While the sun sets, you can order drinks with idea discounts in the Happy Hour on the sundeck, snaps photos of the Bay or join the cooking demonstration and food décor.

At 19:00, dinner is served. The rest of the night is for social activities with other friends, karaoke singing and squid fishing. Overnight in Lan Ha Bay.

Day 2: Lan Ha Bay - Tuan Chau - Hanoi

Morning

Early risers may want to take part in morning Tai Chi Class on the sundeck. Have breakfast while contemplating the great view of the sunrise over the Bay. Getting on Gia Luan Pier, the bus takes you to Trung Trang Grotto on Cat Ba island. Here you can see the unique formation of karst and enjoy the wild nature.

Questions & Answers

Asked by Fern | Apr. 22, 2023 10:27

Hi, Can you please suggest the transport from Ninh Binh to the cruise? How much will it cost and what is the best contact for this.

Answers (1)

Answered by Cindy | Apr. 22, 2023 10:27

Dear Fern, Thank you for your email! We are so happy to hear from you! Please be advised from Ninh Binh to Halong, you can choose two options below: - Private car: USD 95 for 2 persons - Shuttle bus: USD 25/person We can provide with both options but please understand if you choose the bus option, you might have to wait at the hotel lobby in a while (from 7.15 - 8.15am) as the distance between the hotels/homestay in Ninh Binh is quite far from each other as well as not too easy to get to each place. Best regards, Cindy

Asked by Kathryn McCully | Apr. 11, 2023 12:00

Do we have to leave the cruise ship on the 2nd day of a 3 night cruise? Do you return the main ship to port to pick up more passengers?

Answers (1)

Answered by Cindy | Apr. 11, 2023 12:01

Dear Kathryn, Thank you for contacting us! Please be advised that except Au Co and Dragon Pearl, all the cruises accommodate mix of 2 day and 3 day passengers so if you take a 3 day/2 night cruise, you will leave the cruise ship on the 2nd day for further excursion and the main boat will return to port to pick up new passengers. Should you have other questions, please let me know. Best regards, Cindy

Jemma 24-06-2016

Very good

The overall experience in Calypso Cruise was nice. Beautiful setting, well-furnished amenities, friendly and attentive staff, average food.

The hard part was a four hour drive from Hanoi. It was long but unavoidable if you want to set foot in Halong.

Food can be better.

Nice boat, amazing cabin, well-decorated dining area, bar and upstairs on the top deck. The trip was well-organized, staff was out of their way to support guests. Really enjoyed the cruise with lots of fun activities (Surprising Cave exploration, fishing village visit, kayaking, swimming…).
