Asked by Lili | May. 09, 2023 03:25
hi, my partner and i are in our late twenties, can you give an estimate age range of your guests? also I was wondering if the current (online) itinerary is still correct? previously I read that it changed once and went to Ha Long Bay. thank you so much in advance!
Answered by Helen | May. 09, 2023 03:26
Dear Lili, Thank you for your email. Regarding your concern, actually, there is no age limit for our customers when traveling on cruise and I think your age is very nice to enjoy the cruise. Signature Royal Cruise will visit Bai Tu Long Bay, so this cruise will suit you if you want to relax more than participate in activities. Or otherwise, if you want more activities (hiking, swimming, kayaking,...), you should choose cruises to visit Halong Bay. Also, the current itinerary (online) remains accurate, as we'll update if there are any changes. Please let us know your decide and your trip date, so that we can check availability for you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Helen
Asked by Fayley | Apr. 05, 2023 04:57
When guest join the "day boat", is it only guests from the Signature Cruise ship, or does the day boat also include guests from other boats?
Answered by Cindy | Apr. 05, 2023 04:58
Dear Fayley, Thank you for your email! If the day boat of Signature Cruise has low volume of guests (low occupancy of 3 days/2 nights bookings), they will combine with guests from other boats too as if not, they will get lost. For your question in another email, you will leave the main boat and your cabin from 8.30am to 3.00-4.00pm and during that time, if you want to freshen up, you can use the toilet on the day boat but you do not have to do that. You can see the updated itinerary of Signature Cruise for more information. Should you have other questions, please let me know. Best regards, Cindy

Asked by Hui Min | Aug. 10, 2016 02:51
How is this cruise different from Signature Cruise? Are they the same company?
Answered by Lisa | Aug. 10, 2016 02:52
Dear Hui Min, Many thanks for contacting us! Signature and Signature Royal belongs to the same Signature group, so they share quality and itinerary. The Royal vessel is newer and its cabins are a lot more spacious than the original one. It also got a Royal Suite which the Signature Cruise does not have. If you have any questions please let me know!
Asked by Jonathan | Aug. 10, 2016 02:48
How much is transfer round trip? Is the cruise likely to get full in December, should I book in advance?
Answered by Lisa | Aug. 10, 2016 02:50
Dear Jonathan, Thank you for your question! For transfer round trip from Hanoi to Halong Bay and back, the cost is $30/person by shuttle bus, or you can book a private car at a discounted price. If you travel in the last week of December, I suggest you consider booking your cruise soon as otherwise it's very full, it's a peak season for travel in Halong Bay.

Cabin was large and thoughtful-appointed. We love sitting on the private balcony and sightseeing. Ordering some drinks in Happy Hour and enjoying the sunset view from the room was the best.
