Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
Capella Cruise is a 2020 ship with 30 cabins on Lan Ha Bay, with a heated swimming pool, a jacuzzi and an ocean slide.
Capella and Lyra Grandeur share a cabin plan
You will notice the cabin names repeat on Lyra Grandeur: Oasis Suite, Harmony Suite, Sky Suite, Sky Terrace Suite. They are the same operator's design.
Lyra is the newer ship, 2025 against 2020, with a larger pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna and a spa. Capella has the ocean slide and is $5 cheaper at entry. Capella also has the five-person Harmony Family Suite, which Lyra matches, and both carry roughly 30 cabins.
Put simply: Lyra for the newer hull, the sauna and the spa, Capella for the ocean slide and the lower price.
Family cabins
Sky Family Suite is 43 sqm for four adults at $820 for the room. Harmony Family Suite is 48 sqm for five adults at $900, with one king bed and three singles. Five-berth cabins are rare on this route.
For couples
Oasis, Harmony and Sky Suites are all 32 sqm at $190, $208 and $230. The $40 spread is entirely deck height. La Suite De Capella is 57 sqm at $435 and Sky Terrace Suite 45 sqm at $290.
On board
Restaurant, bar, swimming pool, sundeck, cooking class and kayaking.
Before you book
High season adds about 18 percent, so the Harmony Family Suite reaches $1,040. Families should book early: there is only a handful of four and five berth cabins on any one sailing.
Halal food on board
Capella cooks halal meals on request and has served halal food for every meal to guests we booked this year. Tell us you need halal meals when you book and we confirm it with the ship in writing. See all halal-friendly cruises we sell.
Where to book Capella Cruise, and is it cheaper direct?
You can book Capella Cruise online with Ava Travel, a travel agency in Hanoi, from $225 per person from October to April and $190 from May to September (Oasis Suite, two guests sharing). You pay by card at checkout and we confirm your cabin within 1 hour.
We compared our price with Capella 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:

|---|---|---|
| Oasis Suite | $251 to $281, $238 | $225, $190 |

| Sky Suite | $319 to $320, $303 | $275, $230 |
| La Suite De Capella | $575 to $577, $546 | $495, $435 |
| Sky Terrace Suite | $391 to $410, $372 | $340, $290 |
On every date we checked, Ava Travel was $26 to $111 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.

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.
