When packing for Cruise, the most important items to bring are comfortable clothing, swimwear, and sunscreen. If you travel during winter months (November to Feb), you may also need to pack a light jacket or sweater to keep warm during cooler evenings.
Typically, each cruise provides 1 – 2 bottles of water for free every day, and you will not be allowed to bring your own drinks. So, if you want to stay hydrated, bring some money (the drinks on board are a little pricy)
It is also recommended that you bring a camera or smartphone with enough of storage capacity for photos and videos in order to make the most of your trip. Prepare some waterproof protection for them, as you will be doing a lot of water-based activities.
Finally, remember to bring any medications or toiletries you might need while away from home.

We had a great time with cruiseinhalongbay.com and the Doris. We had a lot of food options because we were vegetarians. Harry was our guide, and he did an excellent job of organizing our stay in Halong Bay.
Birja M –
Victor is an excellent tour guide. He is a very humble and down-to-earth individual. He’s a really helpful and fun-loving guide, so he’ll make sure the tourists never get bored and will do his best to make things easy for folks. I would strongly advise you to organize your cruise journey with him.
