Hello. We are travelling on january 2024, we are a couple with our 20 year old daughter. We are looking for a luxury mid size 3 day/2 night cruise with room balcony and that include all activities and excursions. We also value a more secluded itinerary avoiding the masses. As we are with our daughter, we look for more adventurous activities. Which boat itineraries you recommend that may suit us best? Thanks!

@Marina, To be honest, all cruises in Halong Bay currently follow the same route and itinerary. The only distinguishing factors are the quality of service and the size of the vessel. If you prefer a more exclusive experience, the Orchid Premium is an excellent option as it only has 5 cabins.

@Heather Since you're staying at Vinpearl resort, you can easily arrange a day tour of Halong Bay through their travel desk located at the reception. There are many cruise options available for you to explore the breathtaking scenery of the bay.

@Maria Unfortunately, there are no 2-day-1-night cruise itineraries that include a side trip to Cat Ba island. However, you may want to consider booking a 3-day-2-night trip to experience these activities.

@Paulo C There are no cruises offering hiking as a separate activity, however, Ti Top Island is a great place for hiking to the top of it for a great view of Halong bay. Paradise Elegance Cruises, Ambassador Cruises are among those who offer itinerary to Titop Island.
