Elenio

We're planning our anniversary. Is it worth paying extra for a suite with a private terrace? And does a luxury cruise offer private dining or any romantic experiences?

@Elenio:

Definitely. On luxury cruises, the highest-class suite often has a large private terrace for sightseeing & relaxing. The cruise team also offers private dining inside the room for those who request it in advance.

I am looking at a luxury 2 night cruise from 06-08Aug ... what is the weather like then? What happens if the cruise cannot go because of bad weather and we cannot reschedule?

11 Mar, 2025 Reply

Best Halong Cruises

In August, the weather is quite good, the temperature is not too hot. But that time is the rainy season in Vietnam, so we can't predict when the storm will appear.

We have a cancellation policy due to bad weather conditions:

If the cancellation be announced by the Management Board of Halong Bay, depend on the timing of the cancellation, following policies will be applied:

Before departure from Hanoi to Halong Bay (none of the services has been used): 100% refund.
During the trip (some services have been used: transfer, lunch, day trip, hotel in Halong, etc.): used services will be charged, the rest will be refunded.
The trip will be cut down from 2 nights to 1 night, tourists will be charged a 2 days/1 night trip, plus other used services, the rest will be refunded.
The final cost will be confirmed by your consultant via email. In all cases, please contact us directly for any urgent help. We are here to support you with all of our best!

Kelley Marse

I'm looking for a top luxury cruise to Halong Bay (with luxury cabins, sauna, and spa service). An outside private jacuzzi on the deck of a cabin would also be a valuable addition. A 3-day cruise will be the best, but the cruise ship's luxury level is the most crucial factor we are looking at. What do you recommend? We are aiming to go in April 2025.

@Kelley Marse:

Hello Kelley. You can take a look at some recently launched cruises like Grand Pioneers, Catherine, Hermes, or Venus Cruise. They offer services like you mentioned.

Hello, we're interested in reserving the Presidential Suite on Ambassador Cruise for July 28th. If our flight lands in Hanoi at 9 a.m., can we arrive before the cruise departs?

26 Jun, 2024 Reply

Best Halong Cruises

@Erin Q:

Most pick-up cars will travel from Hanoi to Halong around 8:00 - 8:30, so you may not make it in time for check-in at the port. I highly suggest that you reschedule your cruise date to July 29th if possible.

@Jane:

Yes with a private transfer you can be at airport 15:00 so enough time for domestic flight.
