Also, is it possible to arrange for transport from our Hanoi hotel to the boat, and then to the airport after the cruise? Lastly, are the double beds the same as King Size beds or Queen Size beds?

Dear Russell, Thank you for your inquiry. I'm glad to assist you with your trip. The new expressway has been constructed now and some cruises change to go by this road already but please kindly note that Swan cruises still go the normal way, don't go on the highway. The bus will arrive at Bac Ninh crossroad around 3:30 pm (for 2 days or 3 days is the same). If you have the flight around 5:00 pm so you can stop here then take a taxi and go directly to the airport, otherwise you can come back to the old quarter and get a taxi later. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any inquiries. Best regards, Amber (Ms.)

Dear LT, Thank you for your question. I am very glad to assist you with your trip. Please do not worry since all the cruises can cater to vegetarians. For your reference, our shuttle bus will pick up and drop off clients within the Hanoi Old Quarter area, at a cost of $15/ person/ round trip. Thus, please kindly try to book your hotel within this area. Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from you, Kind regards, Sunny (Ms)

1 night in Bai Tu Long Bay was our best choice. The trip went smoothly from start to finish. Quick pickup and comfortable van. The ship was a bit old but the accommodation was clean and well-equipped. Food was really delicious. The staff welcomed us warmly and treated us like family throughout the tour. A shout out to Mr Sunday, our knowledgeable and thoughtful tour guide. He guided us to places in the bay and in all activities. Very happy to meet him.
Trash on the bay made us a bit disappointed. Hope the issue can be handled very soon.

An overnight cruise that everyone should try once in their lifetime. It was more wonderful than we could imagine. We were impressed with the professional service and clear communication of the staff. The hosts welcomed us warmly. A trip experience but feels like home. Highly recommend it.

The cruise on Bai Tu Long Bay is very beautiful. Every activity is well planned. The staff are lovely and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the view was great. We enjoyed 2 wonderful days on the ship and offboard activities. Thank you everyone for helping us have an unforgettable vacation.

Very good
We rate this ship as okay. We prefer more adventurous trips but that's fine. The bus was very good with comfortable seats. Tour guide was informative. The harbor is bustling with many other shipping lines. It was a blessing when we booked a room with a private balcony. Spending time there every morning was great. Enchanting scenery from Bai Tu Long bay. The food was not that great but we appreciated their efforts to take care of the special dietary requirements of all guests. Even dieters don't have to worry because the menu is great.
Swimming was fun but swimming on a beach full of trash was very bad. I thought Bai Tu Long would be very different but all the same. To be honest, we have seen much more beautiful caves. Check out very early, 9:30 a.m, after morning activities.

We loved the journey with the Swan cruise. Everything went well and smoothly. The program made our trip special. The crew was willing to help us anytime we needed to. Clean and warm room, easy to get a good sleep. Karaoke was fun to join in at night. Thanks Swan for these memories!

A huge thanks to the travel agency for recommending Bai Tu Long. We planned to travel to Halong at first. The bay was less busy. The room was incredible, the food delicious, the staff informative, especially Sunday kindly showing us the landscape.
We couldn’t swim in areas with trash floating. Little time in the room, so suggest you book a standard room.

The staff greeted us with welcoming smiles. Obviously, they were friendly and helpful. A comfy bed, a clean bathroom, and a lovely balcony. Another part we loved on the trip was activities like cave exploring, swimming, and kayaking. There were also many things to do on the boat such as Happy Hour, Cooking class, Taichi.
It should collect guests at a gathering point in Hanoi to save time. Arriving at the pier, we had to wait a long time to see the cruise. Food was good but over-served, felt like so waste to throw away leftovers.

The transfer service was safe and comfortable. Flexible itinerary so we could skip some activities for resting onboard. The staff was great. They served us attentively. They even provided separate menus for allergies or diet. Happy Hour was fun. We made friends with some lovely guests in this part.
We rate the cruise average. A bit confusing from the staff, some of them couldn’t speak English. Witness so many plastics floating on the seawater. We couldn’t swim in these areas. We looked forward to a peaceful stay on Bai Tu Long but everything didn’t go well. The pier was so crowded with hundreds of buses and tourists. Limit time on board. Early check-out. It would be better with a personalized tour.

Our Halong bay tour was amazing. Fun activities, including kayaking and squid fishing. It was great to have Ken’s help. He took us to the sights and introduced them. Electrical equipment worked safely. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was worth the price.
