Elite 2-day cruise · Ha Long, transfer extra
A 2-day, 1-night cruise on Lan Ha and Ha Long Bay on a boat with a four-season pool, a spa, a sauna and a gym, and a private balcony and bathtub in every cabin. It is among the highest rated overnight cruises on the bay, and the pick for a night on board that feels like a good hotel.
This cruise covers Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay, with a night on board between them. The from-price of $125 is the cruise, and the listing is open about what it holds: taxes and peak-season surcharges are included for bookings made from 1 July 2026, and so are the service charge and the insurance on board. The transfer is extra. The round-trip shuttle bus from the Hanoi Old Quarter is 25 USD per person, per the listing, and the team arranges other transfers on request for a fee, from Ha Long hotels, the cruise ports or the airports. Give them your WhatsApp number: they contact you within 24 hours of booking to confirm the details.
The cabin is the draw: a private balcony, bay views and a bathtub. Then the boat itself, with a four-season pool, a spa and sauna and a gym, and a restaurant serving Asian and European cuisine. You eat 4 times: 1 lunch, 1 dinner, 1 breakfast and 1 brunch, with a buffet and a set-menu dinner and vegetarian options on request. Between meals: kayaking and a bamboo boat among the karsts, a cooking class, tai chi, squid fishing and a sunset party, and the listing promises traditional music too.
Included: the balcony cabin with a bathtub, all entrance fees, an English-speaking guide on the boat, a welcome drink and cold handkerchief, the 4 meals, a bottle of water per person in the room, the sunset party, gym, kayak, bamboo boat, cooking class, tai chi, squid fishing, the pool, the service charge and insurance on board. Not included: the transfer, the spa, drinks, personal expenses, the Imperial Suite ($170 per person extra) and a holiday surcharge on 24 December, 31 December and Lunar New Year, 5 to 8 February 2027. A friendly tip: book after 1 July 2026 for any date and the peak-season surcharge is already in the price, so the figure you see is the figure you pay outside those three holiday dates.
The Old Quarter shuttle is 25 USD per person; other transfers are arranged on request.
A welcome drink and a cold handkerchief, your balcony cabin, then lunch.
Out on the water among the karsts of Lan Ha and Ha Long Bay, then the four-season pool.
The sunset party on deck, a cooking class and dinner, then squid fishing, the spa or the sauna.
Tai chi on deck or the gym, then breakfast with the bay around you.
Brunch on board as the cruise returns, and the shuttle back to Hanoi if you booked it.
