Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
Sunlight Boutique 7 is a junk-style boat with red sails and 7 cabins on Lan Ha Bay, run by Sunlight Cruise. It is small enough to stay relaxed and personal, with wood-panelled cabins, a dining room with wide windows and a grass-carpet sundeck.
What the two days look like
This is a Lan Ha Bay route from Beo Harbour on Cat Ba Island, the quieter side of the Halong Bay area. Day one brings a seafood lunch on board, kayaking in the Cua Van area, a swim and a spring-roll cooking class before dinner. On day two you cycle 5 km to Viet Hai village in Cat Ba National Park, have lunch on board and reach Beo Harbour around 11:30–12:00.
Choosing a cabin
All 7 cabins have a private bathroom, air conditioning and a hot shower. Most cabins are on the lower deck (Double, Twin and Triple); the upper deck has one Double and one Twin. Upper-deck cabins cost a little more for the higher view.
Is Sunlight Boutique 7 worth it? Our 2026 verdict
Sunlight Boutique 7 is a mid-range cruise on Lan Ha Bay with 7 cabins. It is worth it if you want a small boat, kayaking among the karsts and a bike ride to Viet Hai village at a fair price, and do not need a spa or a pool.
Good reasons to pick it

- Triple cabins are sold per room: Deluxe Triple (3 pax) takes 3 guests for $352 in total, about $117 each.
- Only 7 cabins, so the boat never feels crowded.
Worth knowing before you book
- Cabins have windows, not balconies.
- It departs from Beo Harbour on Cat Ba Island, about 3 to 3.5 hours from Hanoi.
- Simple facilities: no pool, spa or gym.
Best for: couples, friends and families who want a quiet, small-boat night on Lan Ha Bay.

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.
