All cruises in Halong Bay must have permission from the Management Board to stay overnight in the Bay. Based on the weather predictions (high winds, monsoon, thunderstorm, cyclone, storm...), the Management Board has the authority to cancel all cruises on a certain day to guarantee the safety of tourists.
In those cases, the following policies will be applied for the cruise:
- If the cancellation is informed before you leave Hanoi (you have not used any service yet): 100% refund
- If the cancellation is informed during the trip (you have already used some services: transfer, lunch, day trip, hotel,...): Only the fee of these services will be charged and we will refund the whole remaining amount
- If the trip is cut down from 3 days/2 nights to 2 days/1 night, we will charge as 2 days/1 night trip, plus other services you have already used, and refund the remaining amount
Important notes:
- The cancellation is announced ONLY by the Management Board and often on short notice of time. Therefore your understanding of these situations is highly appreciated.
- The period from May to July is considered stormy weather in Halong Bay with many unpredictable weather conditions. Hence more cruises will be canceled on short notice during this season.
- In all cases, please contact our consultants directly for any urgent help. We are here to support you with all of our best!

Hi there, we are family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids - age 7, 9 and 11 years). We are looking to do 3days cruze with you guys for dates Dec 28th - Dec 30th. Is that correct or you have still space for more ppl? We are gonna be in Hanoi, so we would need transfer as well. Could you send us prices, if you have available dates?
Hi Novakovic, if you can do 1 nights i might have option, there is no cabin for 2 nights program at this time
Hi, We (me and my boyfriend) are looking for a cruise for halong bay. There are so many boats. We would like to visit the following places: -Ti top Island or another hike to a peak -floating fishing village visit by kayak boat -one of the big caves -(Viet hai Village) We would like a 3 days trip. Is there a boat that starts at 5th December which covers most of the places above? Thanks for answering and best wishes Nadine
Hi! For your preference, please consider 2 below options:
Both 2 above cruises cost from US$ 888/person. Kayaking is included; however, there's no floating village in the itinerary. But please don't worry, it isn't a big deal as all floating villages in Halong Bay at present haven't recovered from the severe storms few months ago yet.
Hi - hope you are doing well. We are looking to book a cruise with you. I just need to understand if all board means all inclusive for food and drinks? Thanks,
Most the cruises offer meals but not included drink. You can get order on board.

Staff on board/ Tour Guide: 10/10 - Kent and Tommy were wonderful!

Activities: 9/10.

We are living it. The food is great and the service is awesome.
The trip has been great. We have done lots of activities today. It’s really relaxing and fun.
Amazing cruise in Halong Bay. The entire ship is big, and the cabins are well-appointed and large. Every cabin has a private balcony, and our private suite's views of Halong Bay will be with us for a long time.
On the upper deck is a decent-sized pool (given the size of the ship), which was an excellent spot to view the sunset with a drink in hand.
