Halong Bay cruise overview
Amanda Pearl is a 2024 ship with 21 cabins on Halong Bay. It is the newest boat Ava sells at this price: the entry cabin is $215.
A new ship at an old price
Most cabins around $215 to $240 on this bay are on boats built in 2005 to 2013. Amanda Pearl was launched in 2024, so the bathrooms, the air conditioning and the fittings have had one year of use rather than fifteen.
The catch is below.
Choosing a cabin: the balcony line
The three cheapest cabins — Junior Suite $215, Junior Premium $225, Senior Suite $240 — have no balcony. The two that do, King Suite and Queen Suite, both cost $370.
So there is no middle. You either take a new but windowed room from $215, or you jump $130 for a balcony. There is nothing in between, and Ava would rather you knew that before you started comparing.
King and Queen Suite are the same price and the same category; they differ in bed layout, so take whichever is free.
The operator does not publish floor areas for this ship. Ava will not guess; ask us and we will get them in writing.
Before you book
Check-in with luggage handling at Tuan Chau International Harbour. Day two is the Luon Cave area, by kayak or a traditional woven boat.
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.
