Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
Diana Cruise is a 2025 ship with 56 cabins on Lan Ha Bay, from $178 per person, the same price all year.
Four balcony grades, almost the same price
Junior Balcony (partial view) 34 sqm $178, Senior Balcony 34 sqm $192, Executive Balcony 46 sqm $204, Premier Balcony 38 sqm $216.
The whole spread is $38. The Executive at 46 sqm for $204 is the anomaly worth noticing: it is twelve square metres larger than the entry cabin for twenty-six dollars, and larger than the Premier grade that costs more.
If floor area is what you want, book the Executive and ignore the ladder.
The two suites, and their seasonality
Halong Suite 55 sqm $372, Lan Ha Suite 55 sqm $420. Both are the same size, so the $48 is position.
Diana now charges the same rate all year, so a suite costs the same in July as in December: roughly 80 percent to double the price of the Executive Balcony for nine extra square metres.
On board
Restaurant, bar, sundeck, an open-air pool, a spa, a fitness room and a golf practice green, plus a cooking class and kayaking.
Before you book
Fifty-six cabins is a big ship and it will feel like one. Ava confirms your cabin and pickup within an hour of booking.
Halal food on board
The operator tells us Diana holds Halal certification. 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.

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.
