Golden Cruise is a budget cruise with the largest size in Halong Bay. Beside its standout looks, the cruise would also bring you an excellent experience with its spacious rooms, good dining, and, of course, the stunning scenery of the bay.
Facilities
The cruise takes the golden color as its main theme, together with traditional designs that make Golden look like a shining star in the sea.
Golden Cruise featured 48 cabins with a capacity of up to 100 passengers, one of the largest in Halong Bay. Even though it’s been sailing since 2018, all of the features inside Golden’s cabin are well maintained, from modern TVs, air conditioning, luxurious bed to special details like a jacuzzi bathtub. There are 3 different types of cabins, including: Luxury Cabins, Family Cabins, and VIP Cabins.
Up on top of the cruise, you could also find a large and spacious sundeck with a panoramic view of the whole Halong Bay. There’ll be sun loungers lined up along the deck; turn it into the perfect place to chill and admire the beauty of the bay.
Dining
The cruise restaurant, “Golden Palace,” is located on the 2nd floor of the cruise, surrounded by a glass wall with a view of the bay. The food on board will be mainly Vietnamese style, with Halong Bay seafood as the soul of the dishes. Dining style will be a blend of buffets for breakfast and lunch, plus a la carte menus for dinners. Especially on sunny days, you could also have a chance to have a BBQ dinner on the deck.
Travel routes and activities
Just like others, Golden Cruise will cover Halong Bay’s main routes and attractions, including Sung Sot Cave, Ti Top Island, Luon Cave, and a part of Lan Ha Bay. There’ll be 2 options for you to choose from: 2 days for a quick look or 3 days with more relaxing schedules.
There’ll be a lot of activities during your time on board too: kayaking, swimming, cooking class, and a sunset party.

4. If I plan to book a flight right after the cruise, what time should I book ?
The cruise would be back to the port at 11:30. It then take 3 hours to get back to Hanoi airport & 45 mins to get to Hai Phong airport. As a results, we strongly suggest:
- Flight from Cat Bi Airport (Hai Phong City): After 2pm

5. What should I pack for the cruise ?
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.

Our 3 days on Golden Cruise were fantastic. The bay is absolutely stunning and it is definitely worth giving 3 days to exploring its beauty. We had a fantastic experience with the boat crew who were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist. Our room exceeded our expectations and was absolutely wonderful. With private balcony, you can fall asleep and wake up while enjoying the beautiful view.
