Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
Celina Cruise is a 2026 build with 62 cabins, the largest and newest ship Ava sells on Lan Ha Bay.
Every balcony cabin is the same size
Ocean, Senior and Executive Balcony Suites are all 45 sqm, priced $170, $187 and $202 per person from May to September ($182, $207 and $222 from October to April). The $32 to $40 between the cheapest and dearest is entirely deck height and position, not floor area.
This is worth knowing because on most ships the price ladder tracks square metres. Here it does not. If you do not care which deck you are on, the Ocean Balcony gives you the same room for $32 to $40 less per person.
Above the balcony cabins
Moon Suite is 60 sqm at $315 ($352 October to April). Celina Suite with Terrace is 80 sqm at $670 ($747 October to April), which is a large jump and puts it near the top of the fleet.
A modest high-season rise
From October to April every cabin costs 7 to 12 percent more than from May to September. Many Lan Ha boats add 20 to 30 percent in peak months, so December and January are still relatively good value here.
On board
Restaurant, bar, spa and massage, sundeck, cooking class and kayaking.
Before you book
Sixty-two cabins is a large ship. Meals run in sittings and the sundeck gets busy. If you want a quiet boat on the same bay, Orchid has 14 cabins and Orchid Premium has five, though both cost more per person at entry level.
Halal food on board
This ship has a dedicated halal set menu. 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.
Is Celina Cruise worth it? Our 2026 verdict
Celina Cruise is a 5-star cruise on Lan Ha Bay with 62 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.
Good reasons to pick it
- Every cabin has a private balcony.
- It was built in 2026, one of the newer boats on the bay.
- Even the entry cabin is 45 m².
- It also runs a 3 days 2 nights trip, from $327 per person (May to September).
Worth knowing before you book
- There is no family room, so a family of four needs two cabins.
- 62 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.
