Full Itinerary
Peony Cruise is set to depart at noon from Got Pier, around 2 hours from Hanoi. If you book shuttle bus service, the pick up time is between 9:00-9:30am. The car route is via new express way Hanoi - Hai Phong, offering beautiful insights of nothern country area. If you arrive from Hai Phong airport, the distance takes around 30 minutes.
AfternoonWe welcome our guests onboard the Peony Cruise. Check in and enjoy welcome drink as well as safety instructions. Start cruising and explore Halong Bay - one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. Our boat proceeds to Da Chong islet, where you can see a lighthouse built by the French over 100 years ago. We have lunch before continuing our journey via the islets of Con Vit and Gia Luan. These amazing limestone karst formations rise up out of the sea in an impressive manner. This area is untouched, as not many cruise ships use the route via the Cat Ba Island - Thoi Quyt area - Coc Ngoi islet - through Cua Van to Ba Trai Dao area.
We progress to Ba Trai Dao beach area of Lan Ha Bay- a separate part of Halong Bay. This is a quiet tourist paradise in Vietnam. The region is known for its pristine beaches and spectacular beauty, having about 400 fascinating islands. You may prefer to try your hand at kayaking or simply just enjoy a swim. This is a great experience, immersed in the crystal clear water of the bay, in the Ba Trai Dao area (Visiting Ba Trai Dao from October to May. From June to September, visiting Tra Bau area, belongs to Lan Ha Bay. Tra Bau is also one of the ideal destinations for kayaking and swimming. Come here, you will have a chance to immerse yourself in blue water.)
Early EveningIt’s time to try the authentic well-known local liquor as “Ba Kich liquor” (Morinda officinalis). This is a kind of wealthy and tasty liquor which is really highly recommending liquor in Viet Nam. You might never forget this lovely purple liquor. Return to boat you can watch the magnificent sunset over the Gulf of Tonkin. Onboard you may join a traditional cooking class. Our chef will instruct you in the making of some Vietnam dishes. In the early evening the boat has its Happy Hour deal.
EveningDeluxe dinner is served. Enjoy delicious local food prepared and served for you by our wonderful onboard catering staff. This is a delightful meal in an intimate romantic setting. Enjoy the landscape of the bay at night up on the top deck. Relax whilst enjoying drinks from the bar. Try your hand at night squid fishing, watching a movie in the restaurant. Overnight on board.
Why not rise early to witness the bay at its very best whilst enjoying an invigorating Tai Chi session on the sundeck; after which we serve breakfast. Upon completing breakfast continue our journey and head out in canoes to explore the bay in the area where the Sang Toi sea cave is situated.
MorningVisitors then return to PEONY CRUISE boat for check-out procedures. Whilst cruising back you can enjoy a delightful brunch. Tea Ceremony is served at the restaurant. You will learn how to enjoy Vietnamese tea and Vietnamese cultural at this ceremony. Joining Tea Ceremony with our crews team and have great fun with us!
NoonWe return to the quay side in the south of the bay, where our visitors disembark. We bid farewell at GOT ferry, this is the end of the program. We hope you have enjoyed your time with us and wish you a safe onward journey.

Asked by Dean Hoffmann | Jan. 21, 2019 09:56
Hello, I would like to book this cruise 3 days / 2 nights. Day (1) 29 Sept, day (2) 30 Sept & day (3) 1st October. Would we get back to Hanoi airport in plenty of time catch a 4.30PM flight on day 3?
Answered by Cindy | Jan. 21, 2019 09:57
Dear Mr. Dean Hoffmann, Thank you for your email. My name is Cindy from Halong Bay Tours department and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. Please be advised that the bus would get back to Hanoi at about 2.00pm and it is 45 minutes from Hanoi city center to Hanoi airport thus it would be okay if your flight is a domestic flight. If it is an international flight, to avoid any risk, you can take a private car to go to the airport directly or if you want to save cost, you can stop at the outside of Hanoi (you might reach there at about 1.30pm) and take a taxi to the airport right after. I hope my info would be helpful and please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Hi, i am planning to book for two days 1 night halong bay cruise on 25 Feb, however my worries is i might not be able to catch my flight on 26 Feb at 17;50pm flight to Siem reap. Kindly advise if the timing will allow me. Thanks

Dear Ms. Merasol Menchavez, Thank you for contacting us with your question! As Peony Cruise departs from Hai Phong, only 2 hours by bus from Hanoi, you will get back to Hanoi at 2:00-2:30pm approximately and have enough time for the flight to Siem Reap. At the moment we still have cabin available on 25 Feb- if you wish to book please let us know! Best regards,

How much would it cost per person for the shuttle service if it isn't included? Also if we wanted to stay an extra day in halong , can we take the shuttle the following day?

Hi, I'm traveling to Halong Bay this November with my husband and 3 year old kid. Will the cruise be running by then? Do I have to pay any surcharge for my child's ticket?
Answered by Hana | May. 30, 2018 12:36
Dear Ms. Alice, Thank you for your question and we are happy to know you are visiting Halong Bay this coming November! It's one of the best months to visit Halong Bay. Peony cruise will start operating on October 18th this year so you can surely book your November trip on this cruise. According to the cruise policy, children under 4 year old travel free of charge so you just need to pay normal cabin price for 2 adults (no surcharge for 3 year old child). I hope this information is helpful! Please let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance!

A nice experience from the moment the staff welcomed us at the check-in lounge with snacks and drinks. The tour was so smooth with many interesting activities like kayaking, swimming, cooking class, squid fishing, tai chi class,... All the staff was warm and hospitable, they even decorate our cabin for our anniversary. Another plus was that they didn't use any plastic. So thoughtful!I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone! Thank you Peony Cruise and Mary for arranging this trip!Cruise quality 10 Food/Drink 9 Cabin quality 9 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 10
