Mid-Range Cruises

What makes a mid-range Halong Bay Cruise worthwhile?

Travel the same route as luxury cruises

You might not believe it at first, but a mid-range cruise to Halong Bay will take you on the same itinerary as a fancier class. Since Halong is a UNESCO Heritage site, all cruises in Halong Bay will have to register on one of the fixed schedules set up by the bay authority for management reasons. It also implies that all attractions and outdoor activities such as kayaking, swimming, and sunbathing are available on both of these types of cruises.

So the main difference between a Halong mid-range cruise and others is not their itinerary, which would be the same whether in Lan Ha Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, or Halong Bay.

It is larger than cheap Halong Bay cruises

So, if the itinerary is the same, why should we choose a mid-range Halong Bay cruise over a cheap Halong Bay cruise? The answer is their size and the boat’s quality. Cabins on a mid-range cruise typically have an average size of 25-30m2, which is significantly larger than those on a cheap ones. It’s also usually newer, with metal made, making your voyage along the water smoother.

These cruises also provide more features that you will not find on a cheaper type. They often have three or four decks, which give a variety of additional features like as larger open spaces, rooftop bars, outdoor restaurants, and some even have a seasonal mini pool on deck.

Its balance between cost and experience

One of the most crucial benefits of a mid-range cruise is that it is less expensive than luxury options while still providing excellent amenities. You may find it difficult to spend a lot of money on a luxury cruise, but you don’t want to compromise your Halong Bay cruise experience by taking a cheap boat either. Then mid-range Halong Bay cruises will be ideal for you.

A mid-range cruise will provide tourists with all of the necessary amenities while remaining affordable. When you choose this type of cruise, you will not have to sacrifice luxury or safety for affordability. The cabins may not have all of the bells and whistles found on Halong luxury cruises, but they will offer you with all you need for a comfortable stay. Traveling on mid-range Halong Bay cruises ensures that you do not miss any of the area’s famous sites such as Sung Sot Cave, Titop Island, and others.

Personally, we believe that these cruises are the best value for money in Halong Bay. The prices are reasonable (ranging from USD120USD to USD160USD for a one-night excursion) and include almost all of the services on board, such as meals, cabins, tour guides, entrance tickets, and kayaking.
