About Signature Cruise

Various attractions are on the program of the cruise, like Titop Island, Surprise Cave, Cua Van Floating Village where passengers can participate in wide range of joyful activities such as squid fishing, swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.

Asked by Thoufiq | Jul. 23, 2018 05:01
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!

What’s the difference between Signature and Signature Royal? Thank you:)
Answered by Cindy | Nov. 29, 2017 11:13
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.)

Hi, we are considering to book for 1 night/2 days (Saturday/Sunday). On Sunday we will have our flight back at 20:30 from Hanoi Int. airport. Is there enough time to be able to reach airport on second day? thanks
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,

And as i said, we are looking to go on a cruise in late of november, should we book as soon as possible or is that something we can wait with for some time ? /// D
Answered by Cindy | Oct. 02, 2016 11:24
Dear Mr. Daniel, Thank you very much for contacting us! For your information, private car costs $110/car if you take 2 day trip or $130/car if you take 3 day trip. As November is our peak season and over half of the date are fully booked already, I strongly recommend you to consider booking in advance. Otherwise the cruise may get fully booked quickly. Have a great day!

Dear Aman Bhalla, Thank you for contacting us! I am glad to assist you in arranging a trip to Halong bay in December with Signature cruise. Regarding your question, please no worries that the boat can arrange vegetarian food for you. If you are strict vegetarians (do not eat even seafood, egg, milk) the boat will prepare some dishes with vegetable, mushroom... for you. For the transfer cost, it is US$120 for round trip private 7 seat car for your family. I hope my info would help and kind advise me your room type preference (Junior or Senior) once you are ready to book. At this time being, both Junior and Senior are available on your trip date.

Another question, your itinerary for Day 2, what is the departure time from the cruise or shall I say what time are we arriving the pier?
Asked by Peter | Aug. 04, 2016 03:54
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
Answered by Sunny | Aug. 03, 2016 10:08
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
Is there balcony rooms and is smoking allowed
Answered by Sunny | Jul. 27, 2016 12:24
Dear Leonie, Thank you for contacting us! Signature Cruise's senior suite and family suite are both equipped with private balcony. All cabins are non-smoking but you can smoke while at your balcony or on sundeck (not inside the cabin). I hope that helps!
Asked by Manoela Zambroni | Jul. 21, 2016 07:08
Hello, i would like to know how much is charged for the transfer from Hanoi to the departure point for the adventure! And can we pay in dollar, with credit card or only vietnan cash? Thanks!
Answered by Cindy | Jul. 22, 2016 10:47
Dear Manoela, Many thanks for writing to us. The cost for transfer by shuttle bus is $15/person/way or $30/person/round trip.

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,

Ivanka USA 08-10-2018
Very good
Night squid and movie night were organized quite late at night and I felt a bit tired. More than that, next day we had to wake up early for the excursion. I think it’s not what I expected to receive for a luxury and leisure vacation. The food was average but served very quickly. That was only the plus point.

Room was extremely clean and tidy. Pleasant food was served in nice dining corner. We were happy to enjoy great cocktails on the sundeck. However, I did not like the cooking class so much. It’s tedious and boring. Squid fishing by contrast was very exciting and I had chance to socialize with a lot nice people.

The ship was beautiful and the cruise members were wonderful. I never experienced great hospitality like that. We met a lot of interesting people and had fantastic time together. The food was exceptional and service was also fast. After dinner, I had a chance to try short squid fishing. It was really memorable though I did not catch any squid at all. Drinks were great too but a bit expensive and the free mineral water bottles in room were quite limited.

Family room was seriously very big and had all necessities. We didn’t want to leave the room. Tourist spots were also very beautiful and remained its pristine. We had great time enjoying kayaking with very well-trained kayakers. The cave was amazing too. Food was wonderful but always not enough in quantity. I want it for more.

Staff on the ship were amazing. They were not only excellent in English but also knew other languages and we didn’t have language barrier. They always helped us to our every whim and we did nothing except for just relaxing and enjoying our trip. All dishes were served quickly and very sumptuous. I also really enjoyed delicious drinks on the sundeck while watching magnificent sunset view.
