About Indochina Sails Cruise
Indochina Sails can be said to be the great sister of all cruises in Halong Bay, offering excellent service with an unparalleled cruise itinerary for the past 15 years in operation. There are a total of two Indochina Sails vessels and one higher class (Indochina Sails Premium), making the company among the largest cruise operators in Halong Bay.
This traditionally built, custom-designed yacht stands out with attentive service, spacious and well-appointed cabins, which are divided into a variety of classes for the better consideration of passengers: Superior, Deluxe, Suite and President Suite.
Indochina Sails delight its passengers with a large sundeck where outdoor BBQ would be the highlight and Taichi classes every early morning to refresh and absorb full of energy for a long trip; elegant restaurants serving both Vietnamese authentic and international buffets; international wine bar and a variety of on-board entertaining activities: kayaking and beauty spa service and massage. It is without doubt that Indochina Sails has made its name in Halong Bay's boat selection.

Hi, Where do you pick up from in Hanoi and how do we pre-book and pay for the shuttle? Thanks,
Answered by Cindy | Sep. 27, 2016 01:48

Asked by Noele Kaykas | Sep. 12, 2016 03:03
What is the New Year Surcharge? Do you have to book the transfer ahead of time, or is it done automatically when passage is booked? Is it your dedicated bus, or a bus that many of the junks use? And how much is the transfer?
Answered by Sunny | Sep. 14, 2016 12:49
Dear Noele Kaykas, Thank you so much for your contacting us and our New Year surcharge for Indochina Sails is US $ 40 per person. Because our cost does not include shuttle bus transfer round trip Hanoi hotel - Halong - Hanoi hotel thus you will need to book in together with your cabin booking. The shuttle bus transfer is US $ 30 per person ( Indochina Sails's bus - not public bus for all cruises). Thank you! Should you need any further assistance, please feel free to let me know. It's my pleasure to help! Kind regards,

How much does the bus cost? What time is the pick up?
Asked by Wilke | Jul. 11, 2016 01:56
Hallo, ich hätte gerne ein Angebot für eine Kreuzfahrt vom 28.10.2016 - 30.10.2016. Es sollte kein so großes Schiff sein. Der Transfer ist mit einzurechnen. Es steht ein Budget von ca. 700 $ für 2 Personen zur Verfügung. Weiterhin hätten wir auch eine genaue Beschreibung der Reise.Zu beachten ist auch, dass eine Person keinen Fisch und kein Geflügel isst.

Although we did not go hiking to the cave, we had a nice time on the boat sightseeing and taking photos of the sunset. The food was good, especially seafood.
