Halong Bay cruise overview
Amanda Premier is a steel ship from 2015 with 26 cabins on Halong Bay, and it does one thing that almost nothing at this price does: every cabin has a balcony, starting at $240.
Why that matters
On this bay, $240 normally buys you a windowless or window-only room. Look at the other budget boats Ava sells: Syrena's cheapest has no balcony, Hera Classic's has none, Annam Junk has none at any price. Amanda Premier gives you a door onto the water in the entry cabin.
The trade is size. The Junior Suite is 20 sqm, which is small. You are buying the balcony, not the floor.
Choosing a cabin
The ladder here is unusually honest, with real space at each step: Junior 20 sqm at $240, Senior 25 sqm at $270, Royal 30 sqm at $290.
Fifty dollars from bottom to top buys you half again the room, and all three have balconies. If the budget stretches, the Royal at $290 is the pick.
Before you book
Board at Tuan Chau Marina around noon. Day two is Sung Sot Cave, the largest in Halong Bay.
Meals, entrance fees, kayaking, Tai Chi and the cooking class are in the fare. Spa is charged on board. Transfer from Hanoi is separate.
Ava confirms your cabin and pickup within one hour of booking.
Is Amanda Premier Cruise worth it? Our 2026 verdict
Amanda Premier Cruise is a 4-star cruise on Halong Bay with 26 cabins. It is worth it if you want what it does best: every cabin has a private balcony. The main thing to weigh up: there is no family room, so a family of four needs two cabins.

- It also runs a 3 days 2 nights trip, from $227 per person (May to September).
Worth knowing before you book

- Entry cabins are small, at 20 m².
Best for: couples.

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.
