Hello, We are looking for a cruise for two people. Are there any cruises that start in the afternoon and end in the afternoon of the next day? We'll arrive at Noi Bai Airport at 9:30 a.m. so I don't think I'll make it in the morning.

@Eri M:

If you have enough time, you should book a cruise after the day you arrive in Hanoi as there are no overnight cruises that embark in the afternoon, most cruises depart around 11:00 - 12:00.
