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.

A Halong Bay cruise 2 nights is the best option to fully explore the bay for the following reasons:

  • Diverse attractions: The program includes 3-5 places to visit, from limestone caves to fishing villages, islands, and pearl farms.
  • Extra time: The 3D2N cruise takes around 48 hours with an extra day (compared to 2D1N) to explore further the bay.

The main differences between the 3D2N and 2D1N cruises are the duration and price range. If you want to spend more time in Halong Bay with more relaxing time and deeper exploration, a 2-night cruise will be the best option for you.

I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently exploring cruise options for a 3-day crusise for my family and had a few questions I was hoping you could assist with. We’ll be travelling with our 4-year-old child and wanted to ask:

• Does a child of that age pay full price, or are there any discounts or special rates available?

• Would it be possible for a 4-year-old to be accommodated in a standard 2-person cabin with parents?

• Would our child need to pay for the transfer to and from Hanoi?

• Could you recommend which of your cruises are particularly suitable for young children or offer family-friendly activities?

• Are there any cruises in your fleet that feature a swimming pool onboard? We’d really appreciate any details or suggestions you can provide as we plan our trip.

Thanks for contacting us.

Depend on your child age, if under 5 some cruise offer free of charge, child need to share bed, share bus seats with parents. If child need own seats on bus/ extra bed surcharge will be applied.

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.
