Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
Aspira Cruise is a 2020 ship with 22 cabins on Lan Ha Bay, from $155 per person. A small ship by the standards of this route.
Four cabins, two sizes
Junior Suite and Senior Suite are both 32 sqm, at $141 and $161. Executive Suite and President Suite are both 55 sqm, at $211 and $231.
Within each pair the $20 buys deck position only. The decision that matters is 32 sqm at $141 or 55 sqm at $211 — seventy dollars for twenty-three square metres, which is a fair rate on this route.
Season moves less than most
High season adds $9 to $14 per cabin, under ten percent. Compare that with Azura on the same bay, where the entry cabin rises 20 percent. If you are travelling in December, Aspira holds its price better than most Lan Ha ships.
On board
Restaurant, bar, spa and massage, sundeck, cooking class and kayaking.
Before you book
Twenty-two cabins keeps the ship manageable without being tiny. It is a 2020 hull, so five years older than Azura, Diana or Indochine Grand on the same bay, and it is priced accordingly at $141 against their $171 to $185.
Is Aspira cruise worth it? Our 2026 verdict

- Even the entry cabin is 32 m².
- It also runs a 3 days 2 nights trip, from $285 per person (May to September).
Worth knowing before you book

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.
