Asked by Lucia Leskovska | Oct. 02, 2023 02:11
Hi, I am planning to book a trip in January. I've just wanted to double check- just in case the cruise would be cancelled due to bad weather from your side, would I get the full refund? Also please what is the difference between deluxe room and premium deluxe room? Many Thanks
Answered by Cindy | Oct. 02, 2023 02:18
Dear Lucia, Thank you for your question! Please see our cancellation due to bad weather below: (1) If the tour is canceled in advance with prior notice, a full refund will be made. (2) If the tour is canceled midway through, you will be charged for service already use (such as shortened cruise trip, or breakfast, or shuttle bus, whichever applies in specific case). And the difference between a deluxe room and premium deluxe room is only the location. The Deluxe room is on the 1st deck and the premium deluxe room is on the 2nd deck. Other things are the same.

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

Hello, I am looking to book the peony cruise 3days/2nights from 18-20th May 2022 for 3 people. I would like to ask the following questions before booking: 1) Can I have the full itinerary for the entire cruise. 2) If I want to include roundtrip transport from Hanoi to Halong Bay, how much is it per pax? And where are the pickup point(s) and what time would it be? 3) What time are we expected to be back at Hanoi on the 20th?

Hello - We would like to arrange to be driven directly to the airport from Hai Phong, after the cruise. How much would that cost? It is for 2 people. Thank you!

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, 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,

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!

Outstanding
The ship was not too big and small, enough for a relaxing trip. Peony crew team was very hospitable and willing to help. Food was mouthwatering and plenty of it. 1 night was short. Highly recommend everyone to book 2 nights.

We were lucky to be upgraded to the cabin on the second deck. The cabin was spacious, pretty and had a nice view from the balcony. We stayed 2 nights and the schedule was well planned. We did not feel rushed and could enjoy every moment onboard. Mr. Lee and Ken were best managers. I would highly recommend the Peony Cruise to anyone visiting Ha Long Bay.Cruise quality 10 Food/Drink 10 Cabin quality 10 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 10 -

Our room was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Food was fabulous. My son was a bit picky but he enjoyed the food onboard. The manager was also very kind when asking if he want some extra.
