Hello! We are hoping for a 3 day/2 night cruise in Halong Bay & we are open to the boat or itinerary but we do prefer a smaller boat. We are hoping to leave either December 26 or December 27. Please let me know if you have anything available. We do want to stay in 1 room together & we are 3 people -- 2 adults & our son who is 15. We are not open to staying in 2 rooms.

Hi we are starting our World trip in Vietnam. Few Days in Hanoi then onto a cruise for 3 days 2nights.6-8th Feb 2025. We would prefer a less tourist area thinking of Bai tu long rather than Ha long. Which boat would you recommend, after a bit of old style but with a touch of luxury. I’ve been looking but the choice is too big. Cheers Dave

Hi, We are looking for a 3 day /2 night Halong cruise in June. 2 adults 2 children 12 & 16 yrs, We would prefer a newer boat, connecting rooms. My daughter has diffiuwith some food especially seafood so we need a boat that can accommodate. My son is a very big eater so we need a boat that has decent portion sizes. I would like kayaking in light and Dark Caves to be included in the itinerary and we prefer a quiet location. Non smoking boat is also preferable. We have been looking at 4 and 5 star boats with pick up from old Quarter in Hanoi. There are too many options. Can you help?

Hi! For your request, we suggest below options:
- Essence Grand Cruise 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1584 (5-star, 2 cabins)
- Capella Cruise 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1572 (5-star, 1 family cabin)
- Indochine Premium Cruise 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1464 (5-star, 2 cabins)
- La Casta Cruise 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1256 (4-star, 2 cabins)
-
Sena Cruises 3 Days 2 Nights - from $1088 (4-star, 1 connecting cabin)
Cruising route that includes Dark and Light Cave is one of the top trending route, so it will be a little crowded. All boats are non-smoking inside and can be smoking at outside area.
About food, you can send your specific request to our travel consultant at least 2 days before your trip, and don't worry about the portion, usually, it isn't small.
The general kid policy is for children below 11 years old, therefore, your kids will be applied adult policy.
Please check your email for more information from our consultant.
