Asked by Tyler Elliott | May. 30, 2022 09:56
Would it be a better option to fly into Haiphong? Is there departures in the afternoon? Can fly in at 10:20am or 12:45pm
Answered by Jolie | May. 30, 2022 09:57
Dear Mr. Tyler Elliott, Thank you for your question. Hai Phong Airport will be closer to the cruise, however, it has fewer flight options. Please note that all the overnight cruises depart at noon (around 11:30 - 12:00) and it takes around 1 hour from Cat Bi Airport to the cruise pier so it is fine if your flight that arrives at 10:20 is on time and you can leave the airport right away. However, I think it is very risky as if your flight is delayed, you will miss the trip. Maybe can you please consider staying in either Halong, Hai Phong or Hanoi the day before and take the cruise trip the following day? I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)
Asked by Nikki | May. 19, 2022 09:09

Dear Ms. Nikki, Thank you for your email! Our bus picks up from 8:30-9:00am so please let me know if you can arrive in Hanoi before 8:30am to guarantee being on time for the cruise. If you are flying to Hanoi at 9:00am you will need to take the cruise the next day. I look forward to hearing from you! Melissa (Ms.)

Hi, For 2-day Paradise Elegance Cruise, I saw peak season surcharge of $50 per person per night. When is this paid? I didn't see during check out process. My date is Dec 29, 2020 for 2D1N trip. Also, for Deluxe room, it showed max two adults and one child less than 5 year old. However, when I chose the option, I entered my 10 year old son. Not sure if this is acceptable.

Diversified programs on board and off board. Taichi and squid fishing were interesting. We like kayaking but it would be best if we can spend more time (at least 1 hour). Food was tasty and nicely presented.
