Find Your Cruises

The answer is yes. A Halong Bay Cruise allows you to experience the night on a Unesco Heritage Site. The bay is calm, so no worries at all, even if you’re a light sleeper.

An overnight cruise also takes you further into the bay and lets you explore most of the famous attractions in the area. Its schedule also included many interesting activities such as kayaking, swimming, or snorkerling.

So if you want to make the most out of your time in Halong Bay, we strongly suggest doing an overnight cruise.

There are three most popular ways to book a Halong Bay Cruise:

Online: The most convenient way. Online travel agencies like CruiseInHalongBay.com offer a wide range of cruises, from luxurious to budget, to Lan Ha Bay or Bai Tu Long Bay. You’re also able to read verified reviews from real customers, making sure you’ll have decent experiences on the bay.

Direct: You could also contact the cruise directly for a direct quote. However, be careful with the fake websites around. The cruise operators tend to have a special quota or rate for travel agencies, so the rate might not always be cheaper.

At your hotel: Some people tend to book with the hotels when they arrive. This way, you can sometimes get a cheaper price. However, the good cruises tend to be fully booked quite early in advance, so this might not be the best option if you’re looking for a reputable cruise.

The cruises normally start their journey from Tuan Chau Marina at 12:00–12:30. It’s usually returned to the same marina at 11:30–12:00 on the last day of your itinerary.

If you book a package with a transfer from Hanoi, they’ll start picking you up at 7:45–8:30. You’ll be back to your hotel by 14:00–15:00 on the last day.

Notes: We strongly suggest booking a flight after at least 17:30 if you plan to do a same-day flight.

The price may vary depending on the length of your trip and the type of cruise.

For a 2-day, 1-night itinerary, a budget cruise might cost you 105–120 USD; a mid-range cruise rate is from 120–140 USD; and above 140 USD for a luxury cruise.

The price for 3 days and 2 nights will be twice as much as 1 night.

These rates normally include everything on board, like meals, activities, cabins, entrance tickets, etc.
