Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
Azura Cruise is a 2025 ship, 30 cabins, Lan Ha Bay, from $205 per person. It keeps the choice deliberately simple with three cabin types.
Two cabins the same size, one much bigger
Baylight Suite and Horizon Suite are both 34 sqm, at $171 and $191. The $20 is deck position. Imperial Suite is 66 sqm at $321, nearly double the floor area.
There is no middle step. Either take a 34 sqm balcony cabin or pay $150 more for something twice the size.
High season is steep at the bottom
The Baylight goes $171 to $205, a 20 percent rise, while the Imperial goes $321 to $360, about 12 percent. Unusually, the expensive cabin is the one that holds its price better. In December the gap between them narrows.
On board
Restaurant, bar, spa and massage, sundeck, cooking class and kayaking.
Against the other 2025 Lan Ha ships
Diana is also 2025 on Lan Ha, with 56 cabins from $177, a spa and an open-air pool. Indochine Grand is 2025 with 32 cabins from $185, and also has a spa. Azura sits between them on price with the smallest cabin count of the three.
Before you book
Thirty cabins is mid-sized for this route. Tell us your dates on WhatsApp and we will check which of the three 2025 ships has the cabin you want.
Where to book Azura Cruise, and is it cheaper direct?
You can book Azura Cruise online with Ava Travel, a travel agency in Hanoi, from $205 per person from October to April and $170 from May to September (Baylight Suite, two guests sharing). You pay by card at checkout and we confirm your cabin within 1 hour.
We compared our price with Azura Cruise's own booking site for the same cabin, two adults, one night. For each date we took the lowest rate on their site, which can be an early booking or non refundable deal. Prices per person, October to April first, then May to September:
| Cabin | Cruise line's own site | Ava Travel |
|---|---|---|
| Baylight Suite | $264, $264 | $205, $170 |
| Horizon Suite | $293, $293 | $225, $190 |
| Imperial Suite | $501, $501 | $360, $320 |
On every date we checked, Ava Travel was $59 to $181 per person cheaper. Prices checked on 15 October 2026 for trips from November 2026 to August 2027. Cruise lines change their rates, so check the price for your date in the booking table above.
Booking with Ava Travel also gets you a shared shuttle from Hanoi Old Quarter ($35 per person return) or a private car, and WhatsApp help before and during your trip.
On 24 September 2026 we checked the price of every room type on Azura Cruise (2 days 1 night trip) against a leading Halong cruise booking site. Our price was the same or lower for each room type, in both seasons.

Is Azura Cruise worth it? Our 2026 verdict
Azura Cruise is a 5-star cruise on Lan Ha Bay with 30 cabins. It is worth it if you want what it does best: every cabin has a private balcony. The main thing to weigh up: it is priced above most 5-star ships on Lan Ha Bay: from $205 per person in high season, against a typical $170.
Good reasons to pick it

- It was built in 2025, one of the newer boats on the bay.
- Even the entry cabin is 34 m².
- It also runs a 3 days 2 nights trip, from $401 per person (May to September).
Worth knowing before you book
- It is priced above most 5-star ships on Lan Ha Bay: from $205 per person in high season, against a typical $170.
- There is no family room, so a family of four needs two cabins.
- 30 cabins makes it a big ship, so expect more people at each activity.
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.
