Halong - Lan Ha Bay 3 Day 2 Night 5-Star Cruise & Private Balcony Cabin

Start & end in Hanoi 3 days Up to 50

About this trip

Three days on Lan Ha Bay aboard a well-appointed cruise ship, with your own private balcony cabin to watch the limestone scenery drift by.

Ha Long Bay's karst islands, hidden caves and quiet fishing villages set the pace, with a long sandy beach thrown in for good measure.

This is an easy, fully guided trip, well suited to families or groups who want the bay's scenery without having to plan any of it themselves.

  • Cruise past the limestone stone mountains of Lan Ha Bay
  • Explore caves tucked into the karst islands
  • Visit a working fishing village on the bay
  • Relax on a long sandy beach
  • Sleep in a private balcony cabin aboard a 5-star cruise ship
Good to know
  • Easy pace, fully guided throughout
  • Private balcony cabins suit couples and families alike
  • Suitable for groups, including over the Christmas and New Year period
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you have 3 days and value attentive service and good food. Think twice if you need to know your exact boat in advance or prefer larger group activities.

  • Staff genuinely take pride in their work; guides like Mr. Hà and Mr. Nick go above and beyond.
  • Food quality and cabin condition consistently exceeded expectations across all reviews.
  • You won't know which boat you're getting until arrival; smaller boats mean split activities from other guests.
  • Book the full 3 days 2 nights; shorter packages leave too little time given the 45-minute transfer ride.
