Cabins and who it suits

Cabin names and layouts vary by operator, but the main choice is usually between a standard sea-view cabin, a balcony or higher-deck cabin, and a larger suite or family setup. Couples should usually prioritise balcony position and deck level. Families should confirm bedding, child pricing, and whether connecting or larger cabins are available.

If you are choosing between several cruises, tell Ava your travel date, group size, budget, and preferred comfort level. We will compare live availability and explain whether Indochine Premium Cruise 2 Days/1 Night is the best fit or whether another Halong, Lan Ha, or Bai Tu Long Bay cruise would suit you better.

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.
