Asked by Vipul Kabra | Aug. 09, 2023 08:56
Hi, I am flying into Hanoi on 8th Sep 2023 morning at 7:50 am and I was wondering if this gives us enough time to make the 12:00 check in for the cruise. We are interested in the 3 day 2 night option. Could you please confirm this is available by the pick-up you provide or is there another option we would have? Regards, Vipul Kabra
Answered by Cindy | Aug. 09, 2023 08:58
Dear Vipul Kabra, Thank you for your question and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. Yes, as it is only about 2,5 hours drive from Hanoi airport to Mon Cheri cruise, you would still have enough time to check in for the cruise at 12.00pm. However, the shuttle bus only picks up and drops off in Hanoi Old Quarter. Thus, you will need a private car to pick you up from Hanoi airport to go directly to the cruise port. I can arrange a private car for you with rate US$110/ one way for 2 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 Debashree Bose | Jul. 11, 2023 09:04
Hi greetings! I will be taking a 2D1N trip on 18/19 Nov. I have the following question: The VISA approval letter that will be provided, will this help for VISA on arrival? is there anything else that will be required? After this, we will require only the stamping fees and not any other fees right? THANKS
Answered by Jolie | Jul. 11, 2023 09:06
Dear Debashree Bose, Thank you for your question and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. Yes, the approval letter is to obtain Visa on arrival when you enter Vietnam. You will need to bring the letter with your passport and US$ 25/person in cash for the stamping fee and no extra fee needed. However, as per our guests' experience, you will have to queue up, the process might take up to 1 hour. Hence if possible, I propose you consider e-visa, which has the same cost but is more convenient. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)

Asked by K Tan | Apr. 03, 2023 01:52
Hi, will we be disembarking to visit any fishing villages?
Answered by Halongbaytours Team | Apr. 03, 2023 02:07
Dear K Tan, Thank you for your email and question. Your trip on Mon Cheri Cruise will not include a fishing village. However, if you book a 2-night trip, there will be a trip to a local village on Cat Ba island. This is a small village nestled in the dense jungle and mountains. You can cycle or take an electric car on rustic paths, watch the tranquil scenery, visit an ancient house, and learn more about daily life here. If you still prefer a floating fishing village, you can consider Ambassador, Paradise Elegance, Paradise Sails, Essence Grand, Swan, or Dragon Legend cruise. I hope this helps. If you need further information, do not hesitate to contact us. Regards, Halongbaytours Team

There are few questions i would like to ask: 1) In total 3 adults and 1 child (13years old), is there any family room for us, or we need to book 2 cabins? 2) Is there shuttle service from Hanoi international airport to Halong Bay? If yes, how much and how long does it take? Thank you

Dear Jenny Chan, Thank you for your interest in our service. I would like to answer your questions as follows: 1) The cruise has a triple cabin for a maximum of 3 adults yet you have a total of 4, I suggest you take 2 Ocean cabins connecting for more comfort. 2) The shuttle bus does not pick up from Hanoi airport to Got Pier, Haiphong (cruise pier) yet we offer a private 7-seat car at a cost of US$115/car/way. It takes you around 2 hours on the new highway. You can book the shuttle bus after the cruise to get to Hanoi Center at a cost of US$15/person/way for more cost-saving. I hope this helps. If you need more information, we are happy to assist. Regards, Mary (Ms.)

Hi Do you still offer free transportation from Hanoi to the cruise by limo bus? Also we need to return to Cat Bi airport for a 13:55 flight. Is this possible for me to catch my flight?
Answered by Cindy | Dec. 16, 2020 02:36
Dear Lisa, Thank you for your question. My name is Cindy and I am very happy to assist you with your trip plan! Please be advised that our promotion for free transportation for Mon Cheri cruise has finished already. Now it is chargeable. Besides, you still have enough time to catch the flight at 13.55 but you need to take a taxi or a private car to Cat Bi airport as the bus only picks up and drops off in Hanoi city center. I hope my info would be helpful and please feel free to let me know if you have other questions. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Hi, I'm interested in a 3d?2n cruise with Mon Cheri Cruise, we need one cabin for 2 adults and cabin for 2 adults and 10 years old child. Your pricing shows availability in 2 ocean suite cabins bit it says that are just with double or twin beds. Will one cabin be available with 3 separate beds? I have noticed that prices includes a return transfer from Haonoi, correct? Thank you for your assistance. Dalibor

Dear Gili Amir, Thank you for your question. My name is Bailey from Halong Bay Tours department and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. About your question, may I reconfirm if you would like to know about the shuttle bus transfer from Hanoi to the Mon Cheri cruise, am I right? If yes, please no worries as we do offer our clients this kind of service. Our bus will do pick up and drop off clients right at their hotel within Hanoi Old Quarter thus please try to book your hotel within this area. Thanks for your kind notice! By the way, may I know your trip date, group size and if you prefer to spend 1 night or 2 nights onboard thus I could check availability and get back to you with more details. Thank you!

Asked by Sue | Dec. 07, 2020 11:33
Hello, I was just wondering if Lan Ha Bay was as scenic as Bai Tu Bay and Halong Bay. how does it differ?
Answered by Mary | Dec. 07, 2020 11:45
Dear Sue, Thank you for your question. Lan Ha Bay actually has the same scenic beauty as Halong Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay. Halong bay is well-known and understandably more crowded than Lan Ha and Bai Tu Long. But if you are seeking a new destination with a quieter cruising experience and would love to maximize your time relaxing, Lan Ha Bay should be on your travel list. I hope this helps. If further information needed, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Best regard, Mary (Ms.)

Dear Ms. Sarah O'Kelly-Lynch, Thank you for your email. My name is Jolie from Halong Bay Tours department and I am very glad to assist you with your trip.

I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)

Asked by Yeng | Mar. 24, 2018 09:18
We plan to book mon cheri cruise on 5/17/2018 for 2 people and one 15 months baby. Is the baby counted as third person? I noticed for some cruises when we entered 2 adults + 1 child it did not show regular room but only family room options, which are almost double the price. Can we book Mon Cheri suite for our family? Also your site showed free round trip shuttle promotion, does it apply to May too or just up to April 30th? Thank you!

Mon Cheri Cruise is an excellent host. They accommodated to our needs well. Food was plentiful and they catered to vegans as well. Kayaking was interesting. The cave on Cat Ba island was small. Overall, it was a worth-trying experience.
