We are planning a cruise on Christmas this year. As the weather will be cold, may kayaking be canceled?
Dear Lara,
Kayaking is usually canceled due to bad weather like storms, hurricanes, tropical monsoons,... and not canceled due to the normal cold weather. Since Halong weather in December is chilly with drizzles, water activities such as kayaking or swimming may not be favorable. However, kayaking is still included in the program, and you can prepare some belongings for a convenient trip such as waterproof clothes, jacket, hat, gloves, light raincoat, etc. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out. Regards, Mary

Hello. Looking for a 3d2n tour for 2 ppl. We would like to book a cruise that only goes to secluded areas. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you, Natalia
Dear Natalia,
Thank you for your inquiry. In fact, due to the increase of tourists and cruises operating on the bay, there may not be secluded areas completely. The crowds may be different due to the season. However, you can consider the cruises to Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay. These 2 bays are adjacent and have similar landscapes to Halong Bay but are a bit less crowded. I hope this helps. Should further information be needed, do not hesitate to contact us. Regards, Mary
Hello, I am looking at Heritage Binh Chuan in November. May I ask if I need to make a full payment or a deposit? Thanks for your answer.
Dear Daniel Weber, Thanks for contacting us. Once you book, we require 30% deposit to secure the booking. The balance payment can be paid closer to the travel date. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Regards, Mary
Hello, (1) I am interested in Amethyst Cruise One-Day Tour, for November. We have 2 people. I saw the price of $52 US dollars per person on your website. Pricing shows 10% tax and 5% service charge are already included. However, on the "exclusion" section, it says tax is not included. Could you check? Cảm ơn. (2) Do you know if there are other one-day 6-hour tours, starting from early in the morning, but ends at around 3-4 p.m. in the afternoon? It would be like the Amethyst Cruise One-Day Tour, but I would like to skip the sunset party and leave for Hanoi earlier? (2) Could you give me the price for a private car from the tour ending point, Tuan Chau Port, to Hanoi Old Quarter hotel, one-way, for 2 people. Thank you. Cảm ơn. Li-Ning
Dear Li-Ning Huang, I confirm US$ 52 is our final price that includes tax and service charges. Also, I am sorry we do not have any cruise that ends at around 15:00 - 16:00. For Amethyst Cruise, if you want to return earlier, they can arrange you a speedboat and it costs around US$ 120 - 130. The private car Halong - Hanoi center costs US$ 100 for 2 persons. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
Hi I need to know about the different 1 night cruise options from Halong Bay which would even cover Sung Sot Cave.
Daer Monal Dedhia, Actually the cruises that visit Sung Sot Cave, or Halong Bay route will have quite similar itinerary.

I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)

Hello We are planning a 2 day sailing trip in January. We want to stay on board the ship during the entire stay, as we do not want to go on the day trips, but stay on board and enjoy the ship and the sea. Is it possible ?
Dear Morten Torp, Yes, you can surely skip the activities and stay on the boat if you want. If you need more assistance, feel free to contact us. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
HI, We are two adults and two children and are hoping to book a cruise of halong bay or La Han Bay. We'd ideally want a room suitable for all 4 of us. We'd look to get a cruise either departing on 26th July or starting in the few days following this and would either consider 1 night or 2 night cruises. Its hard to tell from the website as to which rooms have 4 beds (or at least 2 double beds). For example- on the Peony cruise it states that the room: (Family Deluxe (4 pax)) is for 4 adults but then states that there is only a double bed or two single beds. would there be 2 doubles or 4 singles in this room and in other similar rooms? Would you be able to advise as to which cruises are best for families? thank you.
Dear Edward Bell, Actually there are very few cruises that offer a room for 4 people, thus I would recommend you to take 2 rooms connecting instead. For example, the Family Deluxe cabin on Peony Cruise has 2 rooms connecting, each room will come with either double bed or 2 single beds. Peony Cruise is a good option and it costs US$ 590/Family Deluxe cabin for 2 days 1 night, or US$ 1020/Family Deluxe cabin for 3 days 2 nights. I wonder if it is suitable for you? Or if you have other budgets please let me know! I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
Hi, my family will have a Halong Bay tour for 2 days on Dec 17. We will take a flight to Ho Chi Minh City the next day at 3:00 pm from Noi Bai Airport. Can we catch up with the planned flight after the cruise? Is there any transport available for that? Please send me the costs for 3 pax.
Dear Isabelle Blanc,
About your flight from Noi Bai Airport to Ho Chi Minh City at 3:00 pm, we suggest you book cruises that return to the harbor early at 10:30-11:00 am (eg: Paradise Elegance, Ambassador Cruise, Ambassador Signature, Paradise Grand, Indochine, Heritage Binh Chuan, Capella, Grand Pioneers) and a private transfer to go directly from the cruise pier to the airport. In this way, you can reach the airport at around 1:00-1:30 pm. The cost for a private minivan for your group is USD145/car/way from Halong to Noi Bai Airport. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Regards, Mary

Hello! We are wanting to book 3D2N cruise departing Sat 28 OR Sun 29 Dec 2024.

Hi there, I'd like to get an information with Catherine Cruise.

Desired date : Nov 25-26 2 Prs Thanks for your support. Kind regards, EY
Dear E Yoon, Please kindly note that the cabin cost does not include any transfer thus it would be the same if you start from Hanoi, Halong or Hai Phong. Depending on where you are staying, we can assist you with the transfer and it is at an extra cost. If you are staying in Hai Phong, we offer private sedan car to Halong at US$ 50 for 2 persons. If you are staying in Halong, you can simply take a taxi to save cost as it is just a short distance. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
Hello, we are excited about the cruise trip to Halong Bay. Can you tell me if wheelchairs are allowed onboard and what activities may be suitable? We appreciate your reply.
Dear Milena,
We welcome people who use wheelchairs and will do our best to accommodate your requests. There are a bunch of activities on and off the boat. However, we are concerned that it may be a challenge for you to participate in off-board activities. We suggest you enjoy onboard activities such as sunbathing and sightseeing on the top deck, joining a cooking class, watching the sunset, savoring canapes and favorite drinks at Happy Hour (if available), or simply relaxing and enjoying the view from your comfortable cabin. Some luxury cruises have more facilities such as sauna, spa & massage room, karaoke, cigar & poker club, art gallery, etc. So if you have any special requests, please let us know. We are more than happy to help. Regards, Mary
I’m planning to visit Halong Bay this October. What will the weather be like? One more question, I want to take my parents on this cruise. They are in good health but, to be sure, are activities suitable for old people?
Dear Joshua Brown,
In October, Halong Bay’s weather becomes more pleasant with average temperatures ranging from 20-28 degrees C, gentle sunshine, and ideal for sightseeing and joining activities.
For activities, if some physically demanding activities such as climbing/biking/kayaking are not favorable for your parents, there are a bunch of leisure activities that they will be interested in such as swimming, bamboo boating, sightseeing, cooking class, Tai Chi class, or squid fishing.
If you have any special requirements, please do not hesitate to inform us.

Do all shuttle buses take 3 hrs from Hanoi Center to the Halong pier? Is there any option with less time?
Dear Mr. Hiroko, Thank you for your question! All shuttle bus transfers take about 2.5 to 3 hours to travel from Hanoi Center to Halong Pier. If you're looking to save time, I highly recommend booking a private car. This option allows you to avoid the delays caused by picking up other passengers or traffic situations, ensuring a faster and more comfortable journey. I hope this answer will help your Halong Bay tour. If you have any further questions, please contact us. Regards, Tearis
Hi, we are going to stay in Halong City on October 3rd and meet the boat on October 4th. Can we only get a transfer back to Hanoi after the cruise?
Dear Mr. Pedro, Yes, we can totally arrange for you a back transfer to Hanoi. You can choose between a sharing bus or a private car. Let us know your preference and we will make sure everything meets your needs. Regards, Tearis.
Where will we gather if we are not staying in any hotel around the Hanoi Old Quarter? Or any default pickup place for us?
In case you don’t stay around the Hanoi Old Quarter, you can take a taxi from your location to our office at 72 Hang Trong Street, Hoan Kiem to get picked up by bus. For more convenient, you can also book a private car to be picked up right at your hotel. Regards, Mary
Good morning. Could you provide the list of hotels around the Hanoi Old Quarter that your shuttle bus will pick up? Just to reconfirm before payment. Thank you.
Dear Giovanni, Thank you for your email. The shuttle bus will collect you from all hotels around the Hanoi Old Quarter. Please provide us with your hotel address so we can confirm the pick-up time for you. If you need any assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us. Regards, Tearis

Hi there. We will come to Hanoi in August and want to book a cruise tour to Halong Bay. Which is better: book the tour online in advance or get a last-minute deal upon arrival? And what would be the best day to go?
Dear Mr. Ivan, Regarding your concerns, booking the tour in advance can be a great option for you because it will secure your cruise availability on your trip date. You can also compare different tours, read reviews, and select the one that best suits your interests. Some cruises offer early-bird deals as well. About the best day to visit Halong, since August is high season for domestic travelers, you can consider weekdays which are generally less crowded and provide a more serene experience. Besides, it’s necessary to follow the weather forecast so that you can choose a clear sky day.
I hope this advice helps you plan the trip to Halong. If you need any assistance or further information, feel free to ask. Regards, Tearis

2 questions: 1- would the price be cheaper if we do not rrequire pickup & drop off in Hanoi ?We would like to be picked up & dropped off a Tuan CHau hotel . 2- At what time the 3D2N tour ends? Do i have enough time to go to Hai Phong to catch the 15:20 flight from Hai Phong to Hue. Also can we be dropped at Hahong airport to try to make it?
Dear Luunam Nguyen, Thank you for your questions. Please find our answers below:
1. The transfer service Hanoi - Halong is not included in the room rate. You can book it separately on your need. The shuttle bus only picks up and drops off at the hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter Area. If you stay in a hotel in Tuan Chau, please take a taxi to the cruise dock.
2. All overnight tours end at around 10:30 - 11:30 am and you will have enough time for your flight. Since the bus only drops guests off in Hanoi, you can book a private car from Halong to Haiphong Airport.
Should you need further information, feel free to contact us.

Hi, I arrive at Hanoi airport at 8am. Would it be possible to join a cruise departing the same day? I'm interested in a one night cruise. Thanks

However, if you have time, I would suggest you to stay in Hanoi for one night and take the cruise trip the following day to avoid the risk of delay.

Dear SpaBabie, Thank you for your question. Era Cruise will start operating from Dec 24th 2017 so you can surely pick it for your trip in March-April. However, Era Cruise does not go to Bai Tu Long Bay, just Lan Ha Bay. If you prefer to cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay, please consider Signature Cruise (https://www.halongbaytours.com/cruise/signature-cruise.html) or Indochina Junk lines (https://www.halongbaytours.com/indochina-junks.html). All of these cruises are highly recommended. I hope that helps. Kind regards
Hello, I am staying in Halong Bay for New Years, and I would like to do a cruise party on NYE.. will Glory be doing anything like this on New Years Eve?
Dear Brook Ruth, Thank you for your question. I am sorry that the shuttle bus only picks up from hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter. The train station is 10-15 minutes away and it's difficult to pick up from there due to many passengers getting in and out. As you are arriving early in the morning (train from Sapa arrives in Hanoi around 5:00-6:00am daily), you can get to the central area for breakfast and then go to our office for pick-up and the pick up time for Glory Cruise bus is between 7:30am and 8:00am. Best regards,
Dear Mr. Michael, Thank you for your question. As Halong Bay does not have any airport, the nearest airport is Hai Phong and you consider flying there. If you take Orchid Cruise the distance from Hai Phong Airport to the pier is only 40 minutes. If you take other cruises that depart from Tuan Chau or Hon Gai, the travel time is around 2 hours. Hope that helps!
FAQs
Are overnight or day cruises better?
If you have time and a higher budget, overnight cruise is always recommended since you will have more time to relax and enjoy the beauty of the bay from day to night. overnight cruises also offer more activities on board and offboard such as cooking class, sunset party, squid fishing, taichi, visiting a fishing village, etc. However, if you just have limited time and want to take a glimpse of Halong bay in an economical way, day cruises could definitely be a choice.
How long does it take from Hanoi to Halong Bay? Does the cruise shuttle bus pick up at the airport?
It takes you around 2.5 hours from Hanoi to Halong Bay by car. The cruise shuttle bus picks up and drops off in Hanoi Old Quarter area (Hoan Kiem) only. If you arrive at the airport, you should book a private car to go directly from there to the port or spend one night in Hanoi first and book the cruise for the next day.
If I want to stay for another night in Halong, does the shuttle drop me off at the hotel in Halong?
The cruise shuttle bus only drops off in Hanoi Old Quarter. You should book a taxi from the port to your hotel in Halong for more convenience.

Do all cruises have cabins with balconies? Are cabins on the upper decks worth it?
Not all cruises have cabins with balconies. Luxury cruises (5*) often have all cabins with balconies. Some Deluxe cruises (4*) and Superior cruises (3*) have both cabins with balconies and those with windows only.
Although there might not be a big size difference between cabins on the lower and upper deck, those on the upper deck offer a nicer view from a higher position. Especially, higher-class cabins at a higher rate are always situated on the upper levels with extra benefits and facilities.
Do I have to pay for any expenses onboard or all are included?
The tour price includes cabins, meals, drinking water (not other beverages), sightseeing and entrance fee, tour guide, and activities in the program. Personal expenses such as spa, massage, beverages, kayaking (some cruises), tips,...are not included in the price. You should bring some cash or cards to pay at the end of the tour.
Are cruises canceled if there are heavy rains?
No. Cruises run as normal if there are heavy rains. Just in case of tropical monsoons or storms, the trip will be canceled if there is an official announcement from Halong bay’s management board.
What will be if our trip gets canceled due to storms? Can we get a full refund?
Please note that the decision to cancel a cruise trip is made entirely by Halong Port Authority and often based on wind level. According to our cancellation policy due to bad weather, if the tour is canceled in advance with prior notice, a full refund will be made. On the other hand, if the tour is canceled midway through, you will be charged for services already use (such as shortened cruise trip, or breakfast, or shuttle bus, whichever applies in specific cases).
Can I change the cruise after I have booked one?
According to our booking policy, if you cancel the trip more than 30 days prior to check-in, there is no charge. You can change the cruise after you have booked one if more than 30 days prior to check-in. Otherwise, there will be a surcharge for change since we have to cancel one cruise and book another one. Nonetheless we always try our best to accommodate your change with minimal fee whenever possible so please reach out to us as soon as you can.
If I don't want to join the excursion, can I stay on board?
All activities onboard and off-board are optional. You can skip the excursion and spend the whole time relaxing on the boat.
