AfternoonGet 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.

Asked by anneke | Jun. 30, 2023 10:37
Dear Calypso, We would like to book a tour this summer (1 night in August). Our family has 3 persons (me, my husband and our daughter who is 12). We would like to share 1 cabin because our daughter does not want to sleep alone in a cabin. Can you tell us if that is possible? Looking forward hearing from you, Anneke
Answered by Jolie | Jun. 30, 2023 10:38
Dear Ms. Anneke, Thank you for your inquiry and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. Actually, the cabin of Calypso Cruise is quite cramped for 3 persons, however, we can still put an extra mattress in the cabin so that your family can stay together. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)

Answered by Sunny | Jun. 27, 2023 11:16
Dear Erin Brown, Thank you for your inquiry and yes, we can arrange an extra bed into the same cabin for your group. Thus, please kindly let me know when you would like to travel and if you wish to spend 2day 1night OR 3days 2nights on board. I look forward to hearing from you, Kind regards, Sunny (Ms)

Asked by Shahid sarker | Jun. 21, 2023 02:01
We are arriving at Hanoi airport at 08:30 morning on 06/11/23 and flying out of Hanoi at 17:00 on 07/11/23. Can you please accommodate us (4 adults) in your Halong Bay Cruise tour, please let us know ASAP. Regards. Shahid Sarker
Answered by Cindy | Jun. 21, 2023 02:02
Dear Shahid Sarker, Thank you for your inquiry! Please be advised that if your arrival flight on 6 Nov is domestic, you will have enough time to join the cruise but if it is international, I am sorry that you might miss the cruise. May I know your flight details? Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)
Asked by Katrina Roman | Jun. 08, 2023 08:32
Hello, we are a family of 4, with 2 young adults. (Q1) We haven’t booked accommodation in Hanoi yet, (but we are there for a very short time and are looking at hotels closer to the airport because we then have to fly back home ). Do you pick up from any area in Hanoi? (Q2) My husband is tall, we are wondering what type of transportation (type of bus, and how comfortable is it) do you use travelling to Halong bay? Regards, Katrina Roman
Answered by Jolie | Jun. 08, 2023 08:33
Dear Katrina Roman, Thank you for your question. I am very glad to assist you with your trip. I would like to answer your question as follows: (1) The bus can only pick you up from the Hanoi Old Quarter area located in Hanoi center and is around 45-60 minutes driving from the airport. If you stay near the airport, you will need to take a taxi to the Hanoi Old quarter to get on the bus. (2) The cruise will use a normal minibus (29-seater car) for transfer. However, they also offer the Fuso 18-seat which is more comfortable, thus you can consider it. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)
Asked by ThaoNgoc Nguyen | Jun. 08, 2023 08:29
I have total of 5 people with me, I'm planning to book two rooms, is it allowed to have one room with three people, we will purchase the rollaway bed.
Answered by Cindy | Jun. 08, 2023 08:29
Dear Thao Ngoc Nguyen, Thank you for your question! Please be advised that it is not possible for 3 persons sharing a cabin on Calypso cruise thus kindly consider taking 3 rooms. Or if not, I can suggest you other cruises that have room to accommodate 3 persons. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)
Asked by Cathy Sheppard | Jun. 08, 2023 08:25
Hello. How many people does the Calypso Cruise hold? Thank you, Cathy
Answered by Cindy | Jun. 08, 2023 08:28
Dear Cathy Sheppard, Thank you for your inquiry. I am very glad to assist you with your trip. Please be advised that Calypso cruise has 12 cabins thus it can accommodate max 24 persons. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)
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.
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?
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

A memorable trip on a clean and beautiful boat! This cruise is more affordable compared to other ones in Halong Bay. With the price paid, there’s nothing to fault.

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.Cruise quality 8 Food/Drink 7 Cabin quality 8 Staff quality 9 Entertainment 8 -

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…).
