Carina Cruise is a boutique vessel with only nine luxurious en-suite cabins. With an objective of bringing passengers the most personalized services and the cozy and intimate space, Carina Cruise only caters for individuals, couples, and small groups. The medium-sized space makes the cruise spacious enough to not be cramped but small enough for your personal privacy.
Regarding to facilities on board, Carina Cruise has a sundeck with panoramic view of Halong Bay, bar and restaurant with the capacity of 20 passengers, and 9 luxury en-suite cabins. Cabins are divided into two types including 5 Deluxe Cabins (on the first deck) and 4 Premium Cabins (on the second deck). All cabins have windows in order to provide the best view for passengers.
Choosing Carina Cruise, tourists can delight in doing the most anticipated activities in Halong Bay like swimming, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, local boat rowing, and trekking to the top of the island. The cruise will take you to visit beautiful attractions in the Bay such as Surprising Cave, Van Gia Floating Village, Three Peaches Islets, Dark and Light Cave, and a pearl farm.
Get ready to be picked up between 7:45 and 8:15 at your hotel. This four-hour-drive offers you a wonderful opportunity to admire Vietnam countryside with green fields and peaceful rivers. However, if you are not interested, prepare for yourself an interesting book or a pair of headphones. Arrive in Tuan Chau Marina in the midday, embark on board, and enjoy a welcome drink. Then, hospitable crew will help you to complete the check-in procedure.

Asked by Abu | Apr. 20, 2022 08:44
Does the 4-hour journey from Hanoi to Halong and back have toilet stops? My wife has a condition that requires her to go every two hours. Secondly, is the surprising cave tiresome for the legs? My wife cannot walk or climb stairs too long. We prefer more swimming in the sea than hiking, cycling or kayaking. Thanks!
Answered by Melissa | Apr. 20, 2022 08:45
Dear Mr. Abu, Thank you for your inquiry and we are so happy to hear of your trip plan to Halong Bay. Please note that: - We now use expressway so it takes over 2.5 hours to get from Hanoi to Halong Bay. You can request for toilet stop which is in the middle of the way - The Surprise cave can be a bit of a challenge if your wife cannot climb - As Carina Cruise does not yet operate, can you consider other options please? I look forward to hearing from you! Melissa (Ms.)

Shailesh Saxena India 24-03-2017
Timely pick up from the hotel at Hanoi. Good bus (with wifi).
The cruise itself is just superb. Those mystical islands gliding past you in a timeless pace
Great room. Stayed on the top deck rooms with small balconies
Food: Amazing. Should be the best food we ever had. You will be stuffed.
Crew: They would do anything to take care of us.
The day boat was large and clean. The safety standards were not compromised even once. Even if we took the small boat for 5 minutes, everyone had to wear the life jacket. They even had life jackets for the young one.

Emma Cowan UK 23-03-2017
We really enjoyed this cruise. It was one of our highlights of Vietnam. There are plenty of options for cruising in Halong Bay but after seeing some of the other boats we were pleased with our choice.The cruise itself was superb including safety aspects. The 24 hour experience was well structured and organised. However, drinks on ship are too expensive. Anyway, I would definitely recommend you guy for the Halong Bay tour! Cheers.

Our tour guide was really helpful, always took care of us. The meals, the cabin... were all great. However, you should be more flexible in pickup. Spend 1 additional hour due to other pickups. Overall a FANTASTIC MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE.
