Questions & Answers (508)
Ask a questionWe will be travelling from Ninh Binh to Halong Bay & can arrange transport for that through our hotel. But will be travelling to Hanoi Old quarter hotel coming back. Can travel be organised for that or is there a shuttle service available?
Dear Trevor, I would like to advise you that we do provide transfer round trip Ninh Binh - Halong - Hanoi at normally 37usd per person. If you wish to use the transfer service, please do note with us in your reservation. Regards, Phoebe
We are looking to book your cruise. I just need to know do you have gluten free food onboard
Dear Mr Alan, I would like to advise you that we can note down your dietary and cater proper meals for you onboard. As long as you share with us on the booking reservation, that's all fine. Should you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Phoebe
Does your Orchard Classic 3 day Tour leave on 29th Sept?
Dear Mr. Trevor, Orchid Classic has daily departure for 3 day 2 night trip. You can book directly on our website and we will respond to you as soon as possible. Best regards, Melissa
Hey! I have a flight to Phu Quoc at 3:00 will it be possible to depart early from the cruise in order to make it in time to Hanoi Airport.
Dear Rekha Datla, Orchid Cruise disembarks at 11:30 and you will reach the airport at around 14:00. I am afraid it may be quite a rush thus you may consider the following suggestions:
- Taking a speedboat to return to the pier earlier (cost around US$ 80 - US$ 100)
- Consider the cruises that disembark earlier (at around 10:30 - 11:00), for example, Indochine Cruise, Paradise Cruise, Ambassador Cruise, Bhaya Cruise, Capella Cruise, Heritage Cruise, etc.
I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries.
Best regards,
Annie (Ms.)
Hi. We are looking at booking the overnight cruise 2 - 3 Sept. Can you please tell me what time the boat docks at the conclusion of the overnight cruise? I understand we need to purchase a shuttle from the port to Hanoi. I am looking to book the 720pm train to Da Nang and want to make sure we can make the overnight train. Thank you
Dear Sonya, Thank you for contacting us and we are happy to hear from you. I see that you are interested in Orchid Cruise? If so this cruise will disembark at Tuan Chau Marina. All buses return to Hanoi around 2:30pm so there's plenty of time for your continuing train to Danang. Should you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact us! Best regards, Melissa
