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.

La gentillesse et le professionnalisme du personnel, un plus pour le guide Tony qui était très prévenant. Les excursions ludiques ce malgré le manque de soleil et le surclassement en suite président. Merci
Raelene Q –
We were glad we booked this cruise because the rooms were nice and the beds were comfortable. There are a lot of early-morning events on the itinerary, which can be tiring. If you want a relaxing cruise, you can skip them, but we didn’t because we were interested in them.Abby took great care of us, was very friendly, and made our trips a lot of fun. When I was out and about, I really liked trying the snake rice wine. Abbie, thank you!

My friends were going to Hanoi and didn’t know what to expect, so I planned this overnight trip for them. We had a great weekend, and we got to thank our maid, Sam, for taking such good care of all six of us and going above and beyond what we expected. I also want to thank Harley Tran for helping me make plans over many texts and making sure that everything went smoothly.
