Dear Milly Sin, Thank you for your inquiries and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. Please be advised that on the route Hanoi - Halong, the bus does not stop for lunch so you may miss the cruise if you want to have lunch in Hai Phong. Thus, I suggest your group should go directly to Halong, then 5 members will board the cruise and 2 other members can choose to stay in Vinpearl Halong Resort instead. Is that okay for you? I can help you to arrange Halong bay cruise thus please share with me more details about your inquiry for our further help. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Asked by Russell | Jun. 14, 2023 08:42
Hi, your cruise looks wonderful. I see that others have asked about going to the airport after the cruise - however have also read that a new expressway has now been constructed. Has the travel time to the Bac Ninh Crossroad changed? What time could the free shuttle drop us off there? Is the time the same for the 2day1night and 3day2night cruises? Thank you!
Answered by Amber | Jun. 14, 2023 08:43
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.)

Asked by Susan Lerner | Jun. 01, 2023 08:31
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?
Answered by Cindy | Jun. 01, 2023 08:30

Asked by Adam | Apr. 28, 2018 12:40
Hello, Two of us are looking in to booking your lovely cruise later this year. We would be coming from Hanoi so can take the shuttle from here, but we will then be travelling on to Ninh Binh after. Is it straightforward enough to get from where the tour ends at Halong to a train station for the journey to Ninh Binh? Thanks very much.
Answered by Jolie | Apr. 28, 2018 10:51
Dear Mr. Adam, Thank you very much for your question about Swan Cruise! It's easier if you join the bus back to Hanoi and then take a train or bus to Ninh Binh (2 hours away). 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. If you need further information please feel free to contact us anytime!
Asked by Rhea | Apr. 27, 2018 12:35
Hi, I would like to join the may 20 cruise but I'm on a tight schedule. I'll be arriving to Hanoi on may 20 onboard a sleeper train...it says it will arrive in the morning. What time is your pick up from Hanoi? What time will you dock on the 21st may for me to catch a flight from either Hanoi or HPH to Bangkok to catch the flight from Bangkok at 11pm.
Answered by Lisa | Apr. 27, 2018 12:37
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.)

Is it possible to book all these different rooms in one booking, to make sure we all get aboard in te same boat?

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.)

The cruise is small but clean. Although it is a bit downgraded, there are enough necessary amenities for a comfortable trip on the bay. The scenery was spectacular. Very worth trying!Cruise quality 9 Food/Drink 9 Cabin quality 9 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 10 -

We are 4 of us and booked family connecting cabins. It was quite comfortable and view from the cabin was nice. We went kayaking to the cave and the scenery was impeccable. Taichi and squid fishing was interesting.

Swan ship has a traditional style with small rooms and enough space. We had a nice time on the bay with new friends and friendly staff. Food was good and valued for money. Highly recommended.Cruise quality 9 Food/Drink 10 Cabin quality 9 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 10 -

If you are on a tight budget and wanna experience an overnight cruise on Halong Bay, this one should not be ignored. The program also brought us to famous attractions like other cruises such as Dark - Bright Cave, Ao Ech, and allows us to swim in the bay or go kayaking/sampan boat. We also enjoyed all meals on board, food was lovely. The staff is friendly and ready to help you at any time. That is more than enough for us. Highly recommend this tour!
