Asked by Klara Khanh Amrein | Feb. 27, 2023 10:11
Hi we're going to arrive in Hai Phong, Cat Bi at about 11:30 o'clock. Could you pick us up with your airport shuttle so we could check in on time? Could we still check in later than 13 o'clock in case our flight is delayed ? Best regards!
Answered by Annie | Feb. 27, 2023 10:13
Dear Klara Khanh Amrein, Thank you for your message. My name is Annie from Halong Bay Tours department and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. I am sorry that almost all of the cruises will depart at around 12:00 and it takes 1 hour from the airport to the cruise pier so I am afraid you cannot make it on time. You can still join the cruise later than others, but you will need to pay for a speedboat to catch the boat, also, miss a part of the trip. Hence, I would suggest you to take the cruise trip on the following day instead. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)

Asked by Kunal Mahajan | Aug. 19, 2022 10:08
Is the visa fees also included in the free visa approval letter
Answered by Ellie | Aug. 19, 2022 10:08
Dear Kunal, Before Covid the visa on arrival system used to be in place and you could apply online for a visa letter ($25/person) and pay stamping fee ($25/person) at the airport. We have helped with the visa letter so you just need to pay $25/person stamping fee at the airport, therefore saving you on the approval letter fee. After Covid the immigration policy changes and we can only apply for the visa letter if guests book their whole trip in Vietnam with us. As you are only booking the Halong Bay trip so we are not eligible to apply for the visa letter for you. Instead the evisa system is in place and you pay $25/person for evisa fee. It's still the same amount you would pay as before. I hope this information is clear and please let me know if you have any questions! Ellie

Hi there, I see from the Q&As that the cruise does not operate daily. May I ask 1) Is the cruise available for 26-27 June? I'm looking at a cabin for 2 persons. 2) Is the shuttle bus transfer able to pick up at Sheraton Hanoi at West Lake? 3) I don't see cooking demonstration/class or taichi class included in the itinerary. Are they not included?

Hi, 1) I saw this Q&A section that your trips are affected by covid.

How much will that be? Thank you.

The family suite is connecting deluxe balcony cabin and with extra set up of fruits and flowers. Actually the price $490 is price set for 3 persons only. As your family has 4 member it will cost extra and the cost is $650 for family cabin for 4. Please note that the cabin cost does not include the transfer from/to Hanoi Old Quarter. If you need this service, the extra cost is US$ 30/person/round trip. The bus is Limousine van thus it is very comfortable.

Hi, If we took this cruise, would it be possible to get back to Hanoi Noi Bai airport in time for a 3:30 pm flight to Kuala Lumpur if we took the regular shuttle?
Answered by Jolie | Aug. 17, 2019 12:08
Dear Mr. Michael Wu, Thank you for your email. My name is Jolie from Halong Bay Tours department and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. I am sorry that even if you take a private car, you will reach the airport at around 2:00 - 2:30 PM and I am afraid it is late for your flight. Can you please change to a later flight or take the cruise a day earlier? I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards,

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.)

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,

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!

We love the design of Peony cruise. It is a pity that we did not see the sails up during the tour. The crew is friendly and attentive. Food is average but diversified. Kayaking is nice.

My family and I just had 1 night trip on Peony cruise. The ship looks nice and well furnished. Our cabin has a private balcony with large glass windows. We love kicking back at the top deck and watching the view. Lan Ha Bay is indeed charming and calm. We wish we booked 2 nights to go to further areas.
