Dear Mr. Mark, Thank you for your question. I would like to confirm that you will have the same cabin for both nights. However on second day you will take a day trip with smaller boat (so as to get you further into the Bay) so you may not have access to your cabin until afternoon while on day boat. Best regards,

Hello. I'm planning to take the shuttle bus. But.. when we come back to Hanoi, I'm worried about arrival time. Because I have to arrive at Hanoi airport at least 5pm.(the flight time is 6:30pm) So, can you drop off me at Hanoi airport not a hotel by shuttle bus? or Do I have to take the private car? Please let me know.
Answered by Sunny | Feb. 17, 2017 11:16
Dear Kim, Thank you for your email and you will need one way Halong - Hanoi airport by private car as our shuttle bus can not drop you off right at the airport (it is 35km far from Hanoi center/ Hanoi Old Quarter area.) Or we can drop off when you are closer to the airport and you can take a taxi to the airport, reaching it arond 5:00pm. I hope this information is helpful! Kind regards,

We also are a family of 5 and will look at booking 2 premium rooms. The youngest will be 14 so can stay in one of the rooms in a roll away bed. Is there an additional charge to do this?
Answered by Lisa | Sep. 04, 2016 05:46
Dear Angela, Thank you for your question! Your 14 year old child can surely take an extra mattress and share room with his/her sibling and the cost will be 50% room charge as he or she is considered an adult already. The cost covers for overnight fee, entrance fee, meals, and other services on board too. If you have any questions please let me know!

Hi, I was wondering if your set meals cater to people with Gluten allergies? Thanks.
Answered by Sunny | Jul. 27, 2016 12:30
Dear D'Arcy, Thank you for contacting us! We can cater to Gluten-free meal request, please don't worry. As wheat is not so popular in Vietnam and to be found primarily in bread and pastries, you can feel more at ease with your trip here. I hope this information is helpful for you!

we are 5 persons family, all adults. can we book two room for 2 + 3 persons in each? I only found children can stay together with additional bed.
Answered by Cindy | Jul. 10, 2016 10:16
Dear Ms. Park, Thank you for your question! I would like to answer your question about Paloma Cruise below: We allow 3 person stay only in premium cabin or family cabin only. For most cost saving option, you can consider to stay in 2 premium room (we will place an additional bed in the cabin for you). For maximum comfort, a family room and a premium room will be more spacious. Best regards,
