Asked by Bryan Oglesby | Feb. 09, 2023 11:05
I am looking to book a Doris Cruise 2 Days/1 Night in early April. My question is regarding the limousine service. Being round trip, is the return to Hanoi scheduled right after disembark, or can the time be chosen for later in the day? My partner and I are planning an additional outing after the Doris Cruise, and to return to Hanoi that evening. Maybe there is a one way pricing plan to choose from.
Answered by Quan | Feb. 09, 2023 11:05
Dear Bryan, Thank you for your email and question. Our scheduled shuttle will pick up guests from the cruise right after the trip. If you require a specific pick up time, we can help you book other local buses, or a private car to return to Hanoi. One way transfer can also be arranged and costs 15-20$/guest depending on the cruise you book. Best regards, Quan.
