Halong Bay cruise overview
Du Yen Cruise is a 2025 ship with 26 cabins on Halong Bay, from $165 per person.
The price never changes
Every Du Yen cabin costs the same in low and high season. Du Junior $165, Duyen Premium $170, Yen Senior $180, and the Duyen Royal Suite $480.
Almost every other 2025 ship on this route adds 10 to 30 percent for December and January. Du Yen does not. For Christmas and New Year travel that is a genuine advantage, and it is the main reason to pick this ship.
Three cabins at 30 sqm, one much larger
Du Junior, Yen Senior and Duyen Premium are all 30 sqm, priced $165, $180 and $170. Fifteen dollars separates them and the room is identical, so the choice is purely which deck you prefer.
The Duyen Royal Suite is 45 sqm at $480. That is a large step, nearly three times the entry price for fifty percent more space.
On board
Restaurant, bar, sundeck, cooking class, kayaking and squid fishing.
Before you book
With three cabins the same size and a big gap to the suite, most guests here take the Du Junior. Ava confirms your cabin and pickup within one hour of booking.

Du Yen Cruise is a 5-star cruise on Halong Bay with 26 cabins. It is worth it if you want what it does best: it was built in 2025, one of the newer boats on the bay. The main thing to weigh up: there is no family room, so a family of four needs two cabins.

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.
