Bai Tu Long Bay cruise overview
Dragon Legend carries 24 cabins on Bai Tu Long Bay and has been sailing since 2014.
The route is the reason
Bai Tu Long is the quieter water north-east of the main Halong route, and Dragon Legend uses it properly. Day one anchors at Thien Canh Son. Day two goes to Vung Vieng, one of the oldest floating fishing villages in the area, which you visit sitting in a sampan rowed by a villager rather than paddling past it.
That second morning is the thing to book this ship for. Most Halong itineraries show you rock; this one shows you how people live on it.
One cabin type, so the choice is simple
The operator sells a single category on this ship: Deluxe at $400, sleeping two, without a balcony. There is no upgrade to weigh up and no cheaper room to compare against.
Floor areas are not published for this ship, and Ava will not guess. If room size is part of your decision, ask us and we will get it from the operator before you book.
Before you book
Pickup is 08:00 to 08:20 by van, arriving around noon. Check-out is 10:00, then a buffet brunch on the way back to the harbour.
Meals, entrance fees and kayaking are in the fare. On board there is also a spa.
Ava confirms your cabin and pickup within one hour of booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for planning a Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise with Ava Travel.
Halong Bay is approximately 160km east of Hanoi, usually about a 3 to 3.5-hour drive by expressway. Ava Travel can arrange shared shuttle or private transfer from Hanoi and confirm the exact pickup time before you book.
Lan Ha Bay is the southern extension of Halong Bay, near Cat Ba Island. It has similar limestone scenery but often feels quieter. Many premium cruises operate around Lan Ha Bay for a calmer overnight route.
A 2-day / 1-night cruise works well if your schedule is short and you want the classic overnight experience. A 3-day / 2-night cruise gives more time for kayaking, swimming, remote areas, and a slower pace.
The best months are usually October to April, when the weather is cooler and drier. Summer can still be beautiful, but rain and storm changes are more common, so Ava Travel checks weather and operator updates before departure.
Most overnight cruises include cabin accommodation, onboard meals, entrance fees for the scheduled route, and activities such as kayaking, cave visits, swimming, cooking class, or squid fishing. Drinks, spa, tips, and transfers depend on the cruise package and are confirmed before payment.
Send Ava Travel your travel date, group size, and cabin preference. We check live availability, confirm the best current price, explain inclusions, and help you complete secure checkout once everything is clear.
