What can you be offered in a real luxury boat?

In general, there are 03 options in total for those intending to wander off Halong Bay in your luxury Vietnam tour in different ways and time. If your time budget is not that generous, feel free to pick a one-day trip from Hanoi to Halong and come back on the same day. However, even though this alternative allows you to have a real sneak-peek of what Halong Bay looks like, this option is not chosen by many people due to the fact that the best part of the trip, spending a night in the heart of the Bay, is totally skipped.

Which is the best price range you need to notice?

On average, the most affordable Halong Bay cruises come around $250 – $300 a cabin per night for a group of two up to $1500 – $2000 per cabin. Usually, Halong cruise fare varies greatly depending on the season, boat type, size, stay duration and the number of services each guest wants. Simple as it seems, the smaller the boat is, the pricier it gets. This can be totally understandable as lesser people requires a smaller amount of time to gather people and hence service quality hence increases to serve each guest with better care.
