Why take a Halong Bay luxury cruise?
While most cruises in Halong Bay follow itineraries designed by the management, the primary reason to upgrade to a luxury cruise is comfort. Cabins on those cruises tend to be bigger, with private balconies or panorama windows. It surely will help you to make the most out of your short stay in Halong Bay.
Not only that, the better the cruise, the more extensive the standard of services, like fine dining and activities, will be..
Furthermore, Halong Bay cruises’ sails tend to be short, so it’s actually not that expensive in total considering their all-inclusive nature.
Type of cruise
There are 2 types of luxury cruises in Halong Bay: the boutique or the modern.
Luxurious boutique cruises tend to be smaller boats with fewer people. They normally have their designs inspired by traditional Vietnamese values, such as legends, local artisan artworks, or typical Halong Bay fishing boats. For example, the Heritage Binh Chuan Cruise is inspired by the legend of Bach Thai Buoi – the first shipwright of Vietnam. These Vietnamese values also affect the cruise concept, such as meals (mostly traditional) or activities (Vietnam tea party).
Modern luxury cruises in Halong, on the other hand, are often styled as superyachts with modern technology, bigger in size, and offering various facilities. These cruises also are newer and bring you a more Western feeling on board.
Prices
The cost of a Halong Bay luxury cruise varies, depending on what type of boat you’d like to take. For boutique luxury cruises, expect to pay around 160 USD – 180 USD per person per night. If you want to spend your time on more modern-style cruise, the price may start from 210USD per person per night.
Note that these prices tend to include everything on board, from meals and activities to rooms.
