Hello, We would like to book a 3 nights/ 2 days cruise leaving on 03/06. I just wanted to confirm this is available? I ask because this website lets me choose whichever date I prefer but I am assuming the boat will not on port every day, as it will be in the middle of a cruise? Also, we will be based in Halong Bay for departure but would need to go to hanoi at the end of the cruise, would the free transfer be available for the return trip to Hanoi 05/06 ?
Dear Natasha Marques, I am sorry that the cruise is available for Executive Suite cabin on your travel date only and it is US$ 1090/cabin. Otherwise, if you can change your trip to Jun 2, the Ocean Suite cabin is still available at US$ 790/cabin. The transfer costs US$ 18/person/shuttle bus one way. The cruise will operate 3 days 2 nights on every day as on the second day, they will use a day boat for activities in further areas. Actually this is how almost all the cruises in Halongbay operate at the moment. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
