Halong Bay cruise overview
Amanda Legend is a wooden boat from 2011 with 5 cabins on Halong Bay. Ten guests at capacity.
Small boat, big cabin
The unusual thing here is the top room. The Legend Suite is 40 sqm and costs $295. On a five-cabin boat that is a lot of space for the money — the same $295 on most larger ships buys you 25 to 28 sqm on a vessel carrying forty other people.
Ava also sells Amanda Premier from the same operator. Premier is the 26-cabin ship where every cabin has a balcony from $240. Legend is the small wooden one where no cabin has a balcony but the suite is enormous. Pick by which of those two things you care about.
Choosing a cabin
Junior 20 sqm at $255, Junior Premium 25 sqm at $270, Legend Suite 40 sqm at $295.
None of the three has a balcony. On a boat this small you will be on the shared deck anyway, but it is worth knowing before you arrive.
For $40 over the cheapest room the Legend Suite doubles your floor area. There is not much case for booking below it.
Before you book
Check-in is at Tuan Chau Marina. Day two goes to Ti Top Island, where you can stay on the beach or take the climb to the viewpoint.
Meals, entrance fees, kayaking, Tai Chi and the cooking class are in the fare. There is no spa on board.
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.
