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

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.

Bolucas D –
I had high expectations for Grand Pioneers Cruise, and it honestly exceeded all of them. From the moment we stepped onboard, the staff was incredibly professional and welcoming. Our Oceania Suite was spotless, spacious, and had an amazing view of the bay—waking up to the sunrise from bed was a highlight.
The food was top-notch. Every meal at Dining by the Bay felt like dining at a fine restaurant, and the variety was impressive. We especially loved relaxing at the Four Seasons Pool and grabbing cocktails at the Sky Bar during sunset. I also tried the Sea Spa, and the massage was easily one of the best I’ve had.
There were plenty of activities, but nothing ever felt rushed. We played 3D golf, enjoyed a karaoke session, and even fit in a quick workout at the fitness center. It was a perfect balance of relaxation and entertainment.
If you’re looking for a high-end cruise experience in Halong Bay, this is it. I’d definitely come back again.
