About Nostalgia Cruise

Set sail in early February 2023, Nostalgia promises a deluxe cruising experience with top-notch service. With only 10 cabins, the cruise pays much attention to details not only of the interior and exterior but also of the service quality.

There are 4 room categories spreading out on 2 decks. All are well-equipped with an air-conditioned, mini bar, ocean-view bathtub and amenities, and a balcony with a table and chair. What could be better than taking a favorite cocktail or glass of wine and enjoying the spectacular view with your loved one from your private balcony?

The ship includes a spacious restaurant where you can savor a bunch of featured dishes coming from Vietnam or Western nations. On the same deck, you are invited to dip into the cool water of the swimming pool and feast your eyes with second-to-none scenery.

Sundeck is the best place to kick back and watch the dawn and dusk while the ship cruises through thousands of limestone karst. That is not to mention the serene atmosphere at night and in the early morning with the soothing Taichi session.

Nostalgia Cruise brings you from Halong bay to Lan Ha Bay - from the renowned heritage site to the "forgotten heaven" with magnificent mountains. With 2 days 1 night and 3 days 2 nights itinerary, visitors are ensured to visit the most highlighted spots of the bay and participate in no shortage of leisure and recreation activities.

Dear Mr. Mohan, We can pick up from any hotel in Hanoi Old Quater. You can bring the luggage with you but you may decide to keep the bigger ones at the cruise reception hall to avoid the hassle of bringing them on board and off board.

Dear Preston Haddon, The Princess Suite cabin is located on the first floor while the Queen Suite is on the second floor with a better view. The bathtub does not have a view of the bay. Regarding the weather, it will be quite hot at around 26-35 degrees C which will be suitable for water activities. Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Dear Winnie, Thank you for your email! We are so happy to hear from you! As there is no glass door or shower curtain in the Nostalgia cruise's bathroom, you can only use a tower to clean the floor if it's wet. Or please consider another cruise that has a separate bathtub and rain shower. For example you can consider Doris Cruise (https://www.halongbaytours.com/cruise/doris-cruise.html) as an alternative. Should you have other questions, please let me know. Best regards, Cindy

Asked by Razvan S Saileanu 4 months, 3 weeks ago
HI, retired couple travelling Asia and the world. Since we are not quite constrained by time, we tend not to make plans long in advance. My questions: (1) if I make a reservation for a date and my plans change, can I re-schedule the trip? ; (2) we will be staying somewhere in Hanoi and we'll return there after the 2-day cruise: do we pay the round-trip transfer directly to the company/ driver providing the service or will we be able to pay for that service the same time we pay for the cruise? thanks

Dear Razvan, Thank you for your inquiry! (1) Regarding your question about rescheduling a trip, it is possible to reschedule the trip as long as there are still vacancies on the new date. We always recommend you confirm the change as soon as possible to avoid cabin unavailability/ raising fee. (2) If you book the transfer service with us, please be noted that the payment will be made with our company. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Lily

Dear Brian, Thank you for your question! I would like to inform you that due to the Government policies, all of the cruises will be far from the pier. Due to that condition, you will need to take a tender to the boat instead. These tenders are included, and no extra charge required. Should you need any further assistance with your booking, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Quan

Dear Christina, Thank you for your questions and we are so happy to hear from you! After the cruise, you will arrive in the Hanoi Old Quarter at around 2:30 - 3:00 PM. And it takes 45-60 minutes to get from the Hanoi Old Quarter to the Noi Bai Airport. So there will still be enough time to catch your flight, please no worries. Or you can also fly from Cat Bi Airport which is closer to Halong Bay. If you prefer a direct transfer Halong - Noi Bai Airport/ Cat Bi Airport, please let me know! Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us! Best regards, Lily

Nostalgia is a cruise ship with a capacity of only 20 guests. So we had a much more private honeymoon than other big boats on the bay. And of course, the staff also took extra care of us like personal butlers. Every space on the boat shows the Hue royal concept. We were pampered like Kings/Queens by the friendly staff. We were immersed in dinner when we got to wear traditional Vietnamese clothes and eat beautifully presented food. The taste is also special. Thank you for this nice touch. Recommend this ship.

My couple had a memorable vacation together on the Nostalgia ship. It is a ship with Hue royal architecture, beautiful and outstanding! The schedule is carefully planned. We only did some scheduled activities, the rest of the time we relaxed at the sundeck area. The staff helped serve our vegetarian menu and made a little surprise at dinner for us since it was my girlfriend's birthday. The rooms all have breathtaking views!

We stayed 2 nights on the Nostalgia Cruise. Our room was beautiful. Staff took great care of us. They speak English very well and always find solutions to meet our needs as quickly as possible. Nothing is a problem for them. We felt at home. The service from Martin and Dat is unbeatable. The ship itself was beautiful and its excellent service far exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed relaxing on the sundeck. Overall, the experience couldn't have been better. 100% recommended!

We have recently done a 2-night cruise on Nostalgia. 1. The ship design is the most beautiful and special among the ships in Lan Ha Bay. 2. Staff is helpful and friendly. We met Martin and Jimmy who provided us with excellent service. 3. Tours are fun. We especially enjoyed kayaking and squid fishing. My husband caught a squid thanks to David's instructions and it was the ingredient for the soup at brunch the next day. We loved this trip. I will recommend it to my friends and family when I come back home.

So glad we decided to stay at Nostalgia for 2 nights. The space on board is very clean and comfortable. The crew welcomed us extremely warmly. They noted our anniversary and made it special with a celebration and a small cake. There's a lot of food. Creative drinks. David patiently taught us how to make Vietnamese rolls and squid fishing. All activities are optional. Good job for David.

The ship is in good size, not so many people. We felt very relaxed throughout the tour. Not a rushed schedule. The room was comfortable with the best view from the balcony. Dinner was the best. Thanks to the team, we enjoyed everything and had a wonderful trip. Will recommend Nostalgia Cruise to our friends.

Nostalgia Cruise was the best choice for us. There were too many cruises and this attracted us with the unique style. The ship itself looked amazing when we arrived. The interior was fabulous and so was our cabin. We had a private balcony and a great bathroom with tub. The jacuzzi on deck was a plus. The staff was friendly and willing to help. A shout-out to David, Martin, and Dat. They were the best hosts. Food and drinks were all excellent. We enjoyed it all. Thank you so much and see you again.
