See overnight cruisesAmong cruises with 50 or more reviews, a day cruise costs $29 to $58 per person, about $42 typically. One night on board costs $103 to $343, around $153 in the middle of the market, and balcony-and-bathtub cabins start near $230. Prices on GetYourGuide are “from” prices for the cheapest cabin; weekends, holidays and single cabins cost more.
One night is enough for most people. A day cruise from Hanoi gives about 6 hours on the water out of 13; one night gives about 23 hours on the water out of 31 for the same five hours of road. Choose three days only if both nights are on the ship: 12 of the 28 three-day trips we compare are.
Pick the length first, then check three lines on the listing: how many nights are on the ship, which cabin you get and where the pickup is. Choose a date in the GetYourGuide calendar, read the cancellation terms and pay there. Most cruises can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before; the calendar shows the rule for each date.
Online, where you can compare the same ships side by side. Hotel desks and travel agencies in the Old Quarter sell the same cruises, often with less clarity on the cabin, the pier and the nights on board. Booking on GetYourGuide shows the review count and the cancellation rule before you pay; we earn a commission, and the price is the same.
A Halong Bay boat trip among the limestone islands of northern Vietnam, usually with a transfer from Hanoi. Day cruises spend about six hours on the water with lunch, a cave and kayaking; overnight cruises add sunset, a night at anchor and the morning bay. Ha Long Bay has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994.
Tips are not included in the price of any cruise we compare, and nothing is compulsory. Guests who tip usually leave a small amount in Vietnamese dong for the guide and crew at the end of the trip, more on overnight cruises than on day boats. Keep small notes; card payments for tips are rare.
Boats leave from Ha Long city in Quang Ninh province, about 2.5 to 3 hours by road from Hanoi, and from Cat Ba Island for Lan Ha Bay. We compare 170 cruises sold on GetYourGuide: day trips, one-night and three-day cruises, most with pickup in Hanoi. The shortest Halong Bay boat ride is a 4-hour trip from the cruise port.
For a night on board, usually yes: the limestone is the same and the traffic is lighter. 58 overnight cruises include Lan Ha against 30 day cruises, which shows where the quieter nights are. For a first day trip, Ha Long has the well-known sights: Sung Sot Cave, Ti Top Island and Luon Cave.
Most do. 66 of the 88 day cruises and 40 of the 52 one-night cruises we compare offer a pickup in Hanoi, usually from the Old Quarter between 7:10 and 8:20. On many one-night cruises the transfer is sold separately, typically $25 per person. The exact time and place are on the booking confirmation.
