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.

Matthiew B –
Excellent service provided by helpful and friendly staff. Minh our tour guide was the best. Swan Cruise was a bit old but fully functioned. Highly recommend if you want to stay away from the crowd of Halong Bay.
Louis H –
We sailed on the Swan Cruise. What a fantastic experience. Our guide, Sky, was excellent, and the staff was really pleasant. Delicious food, and plenty of it. I’d really recommend it and will return later. I appreciate your wonderful overnight visit.
khishijun –
We took Swan Cruise’s 3-day, 2-night cruise, which was an excellent opportunity to experience Ha Long Bay in-depth. There was a good mix of scheduled activities and free time. The staff was outstanding, and the food was fantastic—almost too much. Our 9 and 11-year-old kids adored it.
