FAQs

For most travelers, 2 days 1 night is the ideal time to get a glimpse of Halong Bay for the following reasons:

  • Time-efficient: 2D1N cruise takes around 24 hours, which is suitable for those who have scanty time
  • Reasonable: The prices are more cost-saving than the 3 days 2 night cruise trips
  • Well-organized: The itinerary is sufficient enough to discover 2 - 3 highlight attractions

The main differences between the 3D2N and 2D1N cruises are the duration and price range. If you don't mind about travel time and budget, then definitely a Halong bay cruise 2 nights will be the best option for you.

We wish to book the 1 night 2day Halong Bay Cruise but We have a few questions first. 1. What Hotels do you pick up from ? We were told if you want the luxury small van to pick up and drive direct to Halong Bay that you only pick up from the French Quarter Hotels, if so what hotels do we have to choose from? ( We don't want a large bus stopping at multiple hotels) We would like to book Cabins 201 & 202 Elegance Suite on the upper deck Our booking dates are 11th March 2025 departing and returning 12th March 2025 (1 night 2 day cruise)
