Hi I am looking at booking the Exclusive Suite on 6 January 2021. But I would like to stay in Ha Long Bay rather than returning back to Hanoi. Is it possible to get off the boat stay in Ha Long Bay on the second day of the cruise? Thank you for your assistance. Looking forward to hearing from you. Nathan

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?

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 Blue Dragon Tours,
First of all, a sincere thanks to all of you for the enthusiastic communication and careful booking process. We have just come back from 1-night tour on Peony Cruise and want to share our experience. The trip was nice with super friendly and dedicated crews. Our guide was excellent in providing us with information and making us feel like home all the time. The waiter and waitress took care of my allergy well and I am very grateful. The trip was very nice. However, what made us feel disappointed was the children on the cruise. We thought that the trip would be very romantic with multiple-course meals, and we would enjoy the privacy and quietness while watching the magnificent bay. Unfortunately, there was too much noise from children running, screaming, jumping, or even playing with the doorbells when it was already bedtime. Although our kind guide has tried to control the situation yet it did not work. We don’t want to judge but their behavior really ruined all guests’ experience in a luxurious boat like this. Although you guys and the crew team were very helpful, we do hope something could be improved from this situation. Once again, thank you so much.
Regards, Nancy.
