Hi. Will there be pick up from Noi Bai International Airport to the cruise?
Answered by Hana | Jul. 23, 2018 05:01
Dear Mr. Thoufiq, Thank you for contacting us with your request. I am sorry that the shuttle bus only picks up in Hanoi Old Quarter. If you want to travel direct from the airport to the pier, you can book private transfer service instead. Can you please share with me your trip date so we can check availability? We wish you a nice day! Hana (Ms.)
Answered by Thoufiq | Jul. 24, 2018 02:30
Our date will be on 14th September. We planning to book a 2 days 1 night trip for the cruise.
Answered by Hana | Jul. 24, 2018 02:50
Thank you for getting back to me! At the moment we still have junior suite cabin available on your trip date and the cost is $280 excluding transfer. If you are arriving by air, I suggest you to take flight that arrives in Hanoi no later than 7:30am so as to be on time for the cruise. We can arrange a private transfer direct from the airport to the pier and the cost is $120/car. If you have other questions please let me know!

Dear Ines Sieres, Thank you for your email! Please be advised that Signature Royal cabins are bigger and newer than Signature cruise. That's why Signature Royal's price is a bit higher. The two cruises follow the exact same itinerary. Should other information needed, please feel free to let me know. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Answered by Lisa | Aug. 17, 2017 10:09
Dear Mr. Guido, Thank you very much for your question. You will surely have enough time to transfer to the airport as you reach Hanoi around 4:30pm and it takes about 30-40 minutes to get to the airport only. Best regards, Lisa (Ms.)

Hello there! I'm planning to travel the Hanoi at the Vietnam and during the traveling, Im planning to visit the Halong bay and i wanna enjoy your cruise package. But we are currently 5 people to travel, and i've seen that the biggest room is maximum 4 adults + 1 child. Is there any bigger room at your cruise or can I use the room "Elite Family Suite"? Please answer my question and give me feedback. thanks!
Answered by Cindy | Mar. 17, 2017 11:31
Dear Wookyung Joo, Thank you for your question! For Signature Cruise, it is possible for 5 adults to take a Family Suite cabin + 1 extra bed. Either this or you can take 2 junior suites side by side with an extra bed which will be more cost saving for you. Best regards,

Hello, My wife and I are thinking of taking your 2 day 1 night cruise around the 11th of October. We saw photos of the bay from a lookout on the land. Is there a chance to see the bay from there or is there no time after the transfer shuttle arrives or before it leaves the next day?
Asked by Danielle Ramsay | Aug. 02, 2016 04:39
Hello, We are a family of four (2 adults, 6yr old & 4 yr old) travelling in September. Which room would you recommend? Also my 6yr old has a peanut allergy and cannot eat peanuts or anything cooked in peanut oil. Would you be able to cater for her? Many thanks, Danielle

Dear Danielle, Your family can take either the exclusive or the elite family suite, both will be spacious enough to accommodate your family! About your requirement for food, please no worries as we can offer your daughter with peanut-free menu. Actually peanut oil is not popular in Vietnam. If you have any question please let me know!
Asked by chew | Jul. 25, 2016 02:03
Hi. We are 2 families, each family with 2 adult and 2 children (aged 6-11). Are we able to fit in two Junior or Senior Suites? How much would it cost for a 3D 2N cruise travelling on 27 Nov?
Answered by Sunny | Jul. 25, 2016 10:23
Dear Chew, As you are 2 families with 2 children/ each thus I am afraid that 4 of you can not stay within 01 cabin even for Junior or Senior suite cabin thus you may need to go with 03 cabins for 2 families ( 2 kids - stay at a twin cabin) another 2 kids will share the same beds with parents to save cost. Your cabin cost will charge as 75% based on parents' cabin. An alternative is to take 2 family suites - which will be easier for you to attend to your children. If you have any questions please let me know!
Asked by leonie smith-gee | Jul. 23, 2016 01:22

Asked by Jari | Jul. 16, 2016 05:07
We plan to have a 3 days Cruise 9-11.4.2017. We plan to take a flight from Hanoi at 17:55 after the Cruise (11.4) . Would that work?
Answered by Cindy | Jul. 17, 2016 01:15
Dear Jari, Thank you very much for contacting us. If you decide to take the flight at 17:55, you may need to take a private transfer straight back to the airport instead of taking the shuttle bus as the bus gets back to Hanoi around 5:00pm and it is late for your flight. Best regards,

hello, we have 9 people in total being 4 adults and 5 young adults, we would like to have 3 of the young adults in one room. We will need 4 rooms in total. can you please advise how to do this.
Answered by Cindy | Jul. 08, 2016 12:38
Dear Nicole, Thanks for your question! Signature has a family room that can house 3 adults. For your group I suggest you take 3 junior suites (for 6 persons) and 1 family suite (for 3 persons). You can contact us directly: info@halongbaytours.com so we can give you the best rate for your group.
Asked by Michelle | Jul. 07, 2016 02:14
We are a group of 5 adults travelling to Halong in June next year, may we know if there is any room that can afford our group? Does signature offer private charter?
Answered by Cindy | Jul. 07, 2016 05:27
Hi Julie, Thank you for your question! As your group has 5 adults, I suggest you take either a family suite + a junior suite, or 2 junior suites with extra bed. The maximum capacity a cabin on Signature can hold is 4 adults only. For your information, Signature Cruise is available for charter but with 12 cabins, the cruise may be a bit too much for your group. I suggest you consider Legend Halong Cruise 3 cabins, Amira Cruise 3 cabins, or Valentine Cruise 5 cabins, which are closer match. Best regards,

We lived in Vietnam for a while and this is the first time to Halong. It was a bit crowded during summer due to this is the peak season for Vietnamese. If possible, we would love to do it again on another occasion. Halong Bay is breathtaking. Cruise itinerary was very interesting!
