REMEMBER THESE THINGS BEFORE BOOKING A HALONG BAY CRUISE
Talking about Vietnam luxury tours, Halong Bay seems to be the best perfect candidate across the region of Northern Vietnam with a wide range of deluxe and affluent boats (of both wooden and steel) to be offered. However, with an approximate roundup or 500 “floating boutique hotels” available, picking one seems to be the hardest obstacle you have ever made when visiting Halong Bay. Hence, here are a few helpful tips for those seeing the Bay for the first time ever.
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.

Now, you have two other choices left:
Usually, a 2D1N trip on the cruise is the most popular one. Picking other options gives you a better chance to explore the Bay all inside out, both main attractions and hidden gems. What to be included in this 2D1N package is an onboard overnight stay, private cabin with sea view, a trip to the Bay’s main attractions, a traditional cooking class, tea time, night squid fishing and fine-dining treats during the entire route.
