dear Sirs, we are planning a 3 days cruise from 8th/november/2019 on Orchid Cruise for 3 people and your web site showed a USD 1060 price included taxes and fees. Is the transfer from Hanoi included in the price? We also have an option to get a flight from Hanoi in the same day the cruise ends at 15H20. Do you think if you get a private transfer we will be able to get this flight? thank you in advance for your attention
Answered by Jolie | Jan. 11, 2019 12:18
Dear Ms. Marcella, Thank you for your email and question! Our cost of US$ 1060 does not include transfer. The cost for the shared Limousine bus is US$ 35/person/round trip or US$ 18/person/way. Also, we can arrange for you a private car from the pier straight to the airport at an extra cost of US$ 120 for 3 people. You will reach the airport at around 14:00 thus it would be fine if your flight is domestic. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)

Asked by Aimee Kettoola | Jun. 21, 2018 11:35
Hi, I am very interested in your cruise but need to know a few more details. My husband and I and 18 month old daughter will be travelling. Is your cruise suitable for a toddler or will it be frustrating for the other guests? Do you provide a cot and high chair? Is the transfers to a from the islands flexible- i.e. if she needs to have a nap can we head back to the boat early? or leave for an excursion later if she is still napping? Can I have a small meal for her served earlier for dinner around 6pm? Do you provide appropriate sized life jackets for toddlers or should I bring my own? Are there safety gates on all the stairs? How long is the travel time between Hanoi and the cruise? And on the return stretch are you able to deliver us directly to the airport instead of our hotel? Thank you Aimee
Answered by Jolie | Jun. 21, 2018 11:37
Dear Mrs. Aimee Kettoola, 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. We did arrange Orchid Cruise for other families with young children before and 95% of the feedback have been excellent thus I believe it would be no problem. The cruise can surely arrange the cot and high chair in the restaurant for your baby. I would recommend you to take 2 days 1 night trip only since for 3 days 2 nights trip, on the second day you will transfer to a day boat for activities and it is not suitable for children. For 2 days 1 night trip, you can consider to take the activities or stay in your cabin for rest. However, the itinerary of Orchid Cruise is mainly for relaxing thus I hope it is not a big matter for your family. The dinner is at around 7:30 PM. However, if you need to prepare the meals for her earlier, you can ask the restaurant and please inform them soon for the best assistance. For the life jacket, I am sorry that there is only one size for children. You can bring her own life jacket along if needed. The stairs are safe, no worries. The transfer time between Hanoi - Orchid Cruise is around 2,5 hour and you will have a break on the way. I am sorry that the shuttle service is for hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter only. When you get back to the center, you can take a taxi by your own to the airport. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)

Answered by Hana | Apr. 23, 2018 02:46

There will be enough time for you to take the flight at 2:30pm. We can arrange private car drop off for $20/car or you can ask the tour guide to arrange taxi for you if you prefer. Best regards,
Asked by M. Logan | Apr. 18, 2018 11:31
We arrive at the Hanoi airport at 7:50am on 21 May 2018, and are hoping to be able to book the 2 day 1 night cruise for that day (May 21-22). Would it be possible to book a private car from the airport in Hanoi to the cruise port (my research shows that the one way fare in a private car is about $70-$75 each way), and then we will just take the shuttle service back to Hanoi on the 22nd (for $20)? There wasn't an option to book that way on the website, Please advise, and thanks in advance.
Answered by Hana | Apr. 18, 2018 11:35
Dear M. Logan, Thank you for your question! We can surely arrange the private transfer to pick you up from the airport straight to the cruise (total transfer cost for this option is $140 round trip including express way toll fee). However as you arrive early, I suggest we just picks up from the airport and bring you to Hanoi Old Quarter. You can leave your luggage at your hotel or our office, then have breakfast/coffee break until being picked up at 9:30am by the limousine bus service. This way it will cost you $95 in total for transfer and at a much more comfortable arrangement. I hope this information is helpful and please let me know if you have any other questions! Best regards, Hana (Ms.)

Answered by Lisa | Nov. 26, 2017 01:13

Hi, I thought of getting a cruise trip on 29 November 2017. would like to find out the following: 1) Can the pick up be done from a hotel from West lake side (Intercontinental or Sheraton) but drop off at a hotel near the Old quarters (Hotel De L'Opera Hanoi, MGallery By Sofitel or Hanoi La Siesta Diamond Hotel & Spa)? I have not booked my hotels as I am not sure whether the company does pickups and drop offs from the above hotels. How much will that cost? 2) Can we bring our luggage on board or only day bags are allowed? 3) I intend to bring my 75 year old mother along. Are the activities tedious? Can she opt to stay onboard if so? Hope to hear from you soon! Thank you!

Hi, my fiance and I would like to travel on the 3day/2night cruise Nov. 14. How much would it cost to be picked up from our hotel in Hanoi and then dropped off at the Hanoi airport after our cruise? Thanks - Carrie
Answered by Lisa | Sep. 03, 2017 11:59
Thank you for your question and I am glad to know that you are visiting Halong Bay this November. Orchid cruise shuttle bus cost $40/person/ round trip and it's a very good limousine service. However the bus only drops off in Hanoi Old Quarter around 2:00pm. In case you wish to go directly to the airport, the cost for private transfer round trip is $150. If you are not rushed for time, it's best to return to Hanoi to collect your luggage and then take a taxi to the airport. This will save you extra budget on transfer fee. If you have any other questions please let me know.

I'd like to make a reservation for August 20, but can I get off the plane and pick up it right away? Will you be late for the cruise tour? I arrive at 9:30 at the airport in hanoi. Vietjet air VJ 963 from inchen(korea) to hanoi.
Answered by Sunny | Jul. 28, 2017 11:31
Dear Ms Lee Jihye, Thank you for your contacting us. As I am not sure if your flight may have delay or not, I suggest you wait until closer to your trip date to confirm your flight details. Also you are arriving in Hanoi at 9:30am which will be rather late for all cruises including Orchid. It takes about 2.5 hours to reach Dinh Vu port from Noi Bai airport. I recommend that you spend the first night in Hanoi and join our cruise in the next day. Thank you! Kind regards, Sunny (Ms)

Hello, I would like to make a reservation for 4 people on the 16th of Dec. The price above shows 880USD in total. Does this include the back and forth transportation from Hanoi to the port? If not, can I add the shuttle bus service with extra cost? How much would it be? Look forward to hear from you soon. Thanks, Yeiwon.
Answered by Lisa | Jul. 28, 2017 10:45
Dear Yeiwon CHO, Thank you very much for contacting us. I am glad to inform you we still have available cabins on your trip date. The cost $880 is for 2 cabins and does not include transfer. You can book limousine bus for $40/person OR private car for $135/car for all 4 persons (the bus will be more comfortable). You can add the transfer when you are on booking page (after choosing the room type). Best regards,

I arrive at Haiphong airport at 10:40 a.m. but I'd like to go straight to the port at the airport. Can I ride on time? and... Can you pick me up at Haiphong airport instead of Hanoi?
Answered by Lisa | Jul. 11, 2017 03:40
Dear Kibeom Kim, Thank you for your question. You can arrive on time for the cruise for sure. It takes about 30 minutes from Hai Phong Airport to the pier only. Our bus cannot pick up from Hai Phong Airport but we can arrange the private car for you that picks up from Hai Phong Airport. Should you need any further assistance from us, please do not hesitate to ask in advance. Many thanks with best regards, Lisa (Ms.)

Dear HJ, Thank you for your contacting us and we still can operate if it rains. We only cancel our cruise trip for some of the reason such as typhoon.

In such case, we will make alternative travel arrangement for you on request or offer refund in accordance with the cruise policy. If the trip has yet to take place, full refund of deposit will be made for sure. Kind regards, Sunny (Ms)

Asked by Joe Reid | Jun. 14, 2017 10:09
Hello, I would like to book at 2D1N cruise on Tuesday 18th July. We are planning on flying from Da Nang to either Hanoi or Hai Phong on the Tuesday morning, go on the cruise, then stay in Hanoi for a few days afterwards. Firstly, is it better to fly to Hai Phong on the Tuesday morning (arrive at 9:45am) and arrange a transfer from there to the Orchid Cruise pier, instead of flying to Hanoi? Secondly, can we arrange a one-way transfer to Hanoi after the cruise has finished? Kind regards, Joe
Answered by Cindy | Jun. 14, 2017 10:09
Dear Joe Reid, Thank you for your email! However, as I have checked, Orchid cruise is fully booked on 18 July thus can you change the date to 19 instead? If yes, you can flight to Hai Phong instead of Hanoi to save time for driving. It is only about 30 minutes from Hai Phong airport to Orchid cruise pier. Besides, we can surely arrange one way transfer to Hanoi after cruise has finished. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Dear So-Jeong Kim, Thank you for your email and our cost for one way transfer from Haiphong airport to Orchid cruise is US $ 29 per one way by private 4 seat car for 2 persons. I am so sorry as our cost at US $ 20 per car is our old cost and transfer cost has risen recently. I highly recommend you to book the flight depart at 08.30AM just in case of the flight delay. It is around 30 minutes transfer from Haiphong airport to Orchid cruise. The cruise will leave the pier at around noon time 11.30 - 12.00 as latest time. At the moment, we still have 01 Suite balcony cabin available on your trip date- 18June for 2days 1night with the cost at US $ 360 for 2 persons travelling. May I know if you need the return trip back to Hanoi? if yes, you can consider our shuttle bus with the cost at US $ 20 per person. Thank you! I look forward to hearing from you, Kind regards, Sunny (Ms)

Dear Cho Minsuk, Thank you for your question. May I know which airport you are arriving to? If it is Hai Phong Airport, we can pick you up from the airport and the fee is only $29/car and it's about 10km away from the pier. If you are arriving at Hanoi Airport, the cost will be higher and the ride takes about 3 hours. I hope to hear from you soon!

Asked by G. Howell | Apr. 17, 2017 10:22
Hello, How long is the drive from Hanoi to Halong Bay? On other sites they say it is a four-hour journey each way but some of the answers for your tour appear to say this is only 2.5 hours. We will be staying in a hotel in the historic French Quarter. Also, the transport is noted as a limousine. Is this a luxury mini-van? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Answered by Lisa | Apr. 17, 2017 10:22
Dear Glynn Howell, Thank you for your question. As we use the express freeway for Orchid cruise, the journey from Hanoi will take you 2.5 hour only. Also the bus is luxury minivan as you already said. If you have any questions please let me know! Lisa (Ms.)
Asked by Jaeyeon Lee | Apr. 05, 2017 11:07
Hello, If it's 3 people, is Private MPV better than shuttle bus? Will it save more time?
Answered by Cindy | Apr. 05, 2017 11:09
Dear Ms. Jaeyeon Lee, Thank you for your question. A private MPV will be more private, but the shuttle bus seat is also very comfortable as it's luxury limousine. If you prefer privacy I suggest you go with a private car. If you don't mind the bus going around picking up a few other passengers, the bus is very comfortable as well. Time-wise both are the same.
Asked by Anthony | Mar. 29, 2017 11:35
Hi,we are looking for booking a tour for 2 at the cost of 350$.can you confirm the cost of round trip transportation from Hanoi? Also,please confirm when we would be back in Hanoi after the trip? Thanks in advance
Answered by Trang | Mar. 29, 2017 11:37
Dear Mr. Anthony, Thank you for your question. As Orchid bus is luxury limousine the price is quite higher than other shuttle bus service ($40/person/round trip) but you will surely enjoy the extra luxury. The bus can pick up and drop off from Hanoi Old Quarter area. You will be back to Hanoi around 2:00-2:30pm as it takes only 2.5 hours (or faster) for the transfer each way.

Hi, We're looking to book for 2 days 1 night Orchid cruise around the 22nd of July. Can you please advise what the weather will be like as we heard its monsoon season? Also we will be flying out from Hanoi to Da Nang at 5pm on the 23rd of July. Will there be enough time for us to get to Noi Bai airport from where we disembark the Orchid cruise? Thank you.
Answered by Cindy | Mar. 16, 2017 06:10
Dear Ms. Jennifer, Thank you for your question It is correct that July is in monsoon season and there are chances that the trip can get cancelled due to bad weather. However, as per our experience July is still a good month to visit Halong Bay (bright and sunny for great activities), and the chance is very slim. Re your flight, you surely have enough time to take flight as it is only 2 hours driving from Hai Phong to Hanoi and you would arrive back hotel at 2pm then you can take a taxi to the airport for your flight. I hope my info would be helpful thus kindly share with me your idea for our further assistance. Best regards,

Hi, We are looking to book the regular suite cabin or premium suite cabin for 3D/2N and we are 2 adults and 2 children (ages 4 & 3) in 1st week of May. Can both children be accommodated FOC? Is there an extra charge? What is the fee for return transfer from Hanoi hotel to Cruise & Cruise to Cat Bi airport? Regards, Deepak
Answered by Sunny | Mar. 16, 2017 06:07
Dear Deepak, Thank you so much for your contacting us and please kindly find my comments below: - Actually we offer free of charge for kid under 5 years old, however this policy only offer for 1 kid per 2 adults thus if you are travelling with 2 kids, the second kid will need to pay 50% of an adult cost. By the way, as your travelling with 2 little kids thus I highly recommend you to spend 2 days 1night cruise option instead of 3days 2nights as they are too small to join the second day. As on the second day, you will need to move to another boat (small boat) for cruise further and only return to the big boat in the late afternoon. Thanks for your kind notice and understanding! - About the transfer, our shuttle bus can only do pick up and drop off within Hanoi Center/ Hanoi Old Quarter thus our bus can not drop you off at Cat Bi airport. Therefore, you can consider to go with one way shuttle bus + taxi transfer to Cat Bi airport on your own OR you can go with a private car transfer round trip. The detailed pricing has been emailed to you. Thank you! I look forward to hearing from you, Kind regards,

Answered by Sunny | Mar. 16, 2017 06:03
Dear Gary Callister, Thank you so much for your question.

The cost is $40/person/round trip by luxury minivan. There is overnight parking available at the pier in case you wish to drive yourself, we will send you an instruction map in such case.

- It would have been nice to have an electricity outlet near the bed to keep our phone charged. It's our alarm and our clock!

Very good
The flute music was too loud. Not appropriate for dinner. A visit to water village or pearl farm would have been good.
