Questions & Answers (440)
Ask a questionHello if I book à Twitter dans and one night can you organise pickup and return to Hanoï and how much will it cost? Thank you
Dear Martine, Thank you very much for contacting us. We can surely help arrange the shuttle bus round trip for you for the 2 day 1 night cruise trip. It costs 40 USD/per person/round trip. Regards, Bonnie (Ms.)
We are 3 adult group. if we book, will you provide 2 rooms or a room with 3 single beds
Dear Castor, A cabin is normally for 2 guests and if you are 3, you can choose either 1 cabin with an extra bed or 2 separate cabins. The option with extra bed costs less than 2 cabins because the 3rd person will need to pay for a single cabin if taking a separate one. Should you need further assistance, please feel free to ask. Best regards, Bonnie (Ms.)
I would like to fly out of Hanoi after the cruise journey. What is a safe time to book the flight? I don’t want to miss this exciting opportunity. =(

Should you need any assistance, please feel free to contact us! Regards, Mary
Hi, I’m looking at a 2 night cruise from the 23rd of April being picked up from our hotel in Hanoi old quarter but we need to be back at the airport in Hanoi by 15.15hrs at the latest. Is this possible to achieve ? What would the associated additional cost be to have you arrange this in addition to the cruise cost. Many thanks
Dear Glenys Truman, As per your sharing, we can arrange you the shuttle bus Hanoi - Halong (US$ 20/person) and private car Halong - Noi Bai Airport (US$ 100/sedan car for 2 persons) and you will reach the airport at around 14:00 - 14:30. Please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
I have watched a video about the Jacuzzi, someone said it’s so freezing. Is the Jacuzzi on the Orchid cruise heated?
Dear Mr. John, Thank you for your question! The water temperature in the jacuzzi can be heated and adjusted according to the weather conditions. The Jacuzzi of the Orchid Cruise is located on the second floor at the bow of the ship where tourists can enjoy soaking and overlook the breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. Regards, Mary

We think it would be better if all passengers were on the same boat during their trip instead of swapping them between boats. It wouldn’t affect their overall enjoyment.
