Is everything included in the quoted price for the 3 day 2 night Bai Tu Long cruise? I can guess that drinks and transfers are extra, but is everything else (food, activities, etc.) included? 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.)

You will reach the airport at around 4:30 - 5:00 PM. - If it is international, please kindly consider taking a private car from the pier straight to the airport.

Dear Ms. Rachelle, Thank you for your email. As far as I know you are a family of 5 thus you will need 1 double/twin + 1 triple cabin for your stay in Halong Bay. At the moment we are still available on 10th of July. Besides, our shuttle bus only do pick up and drop off clients within Hanoi Old Quarter area thus please kindly try to book your hotel within this area. If not, please take the taxi on your own from your hotel to our office at 72 HANG TRONG street to join the bus on your departure date. Thanks for your kind notice and understanding. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Sunny (Ms)

Dear Ms. Rhea, Thank you very much for your question and we are happy to assist you with your trip. Swan is a good cruise to travel with and you will be fine with the schedule. Most sleeper train (from Sapa?) arrive in Hanoi at 5:00am and the bus does not pick up until 8:00am so you have plenty of time in between. You will arrive the next day in Hanoi around 5:00pm. It's best to fly from Hanoi airport to Bangkok as there will be more flight options and shorter travel time as well. I hope this is useful for you! Best regards, Lisa (Ms.)

Alternatively you can take a taxi from the cruise pier to the central bus station in Halong City and take a local bus to Ninh Binh.

Asked by Manu 1 year, 2 months ago
Good afternoon, We would like to book a 2D1N cruise on 6 May, for 3 people (one couple and one dad). My dad would like to book the summer promotion deal, is this the standard deluxe room and does the promotion apply to one single person as well? Would he have to share his room with a stranger? My partner and I would like to stay in the Suite Cabin with balcony. Does the $125 dollar promotion apply to this room as well? Or do we pay the regular price? Is it possible to book all these different rooms in one booking, to make sure we all get aboard in te same boat? Last question :-), I am vegan, so I do not eat any animals or animal products like dairy or eggs or fish sauce. Can there be vegan options on board? Many thanks in advance for replying my questions!!

Dear Manu, Thank you for your question and I am glad to assist with your trip! Please be advised that our rate US$125 per person is for double/twin sharing and it is for deluxe room only. Thus if your dad takes his own room, our rate is US$190 and our rate for Suite room is US$320 for 2 persons thus total cost for you is US$510 for 1 Deluxe cabin + 1 Suite cabin including shuttle bus. It is not yet possible to book 2 types of room in the same booking on our website thus I would book manually for you. Yes, the boat has vegan options thus kindly no worries. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Cindy (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.

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.

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.
