Bai Tu Long Bay cruise overview
Larissa is a 2026 ship with 28 cabins on Bai Tu Long Bay, and it brings something that bay has not had: a brand-new hull on the quietest water in the region.
The Jacuzzi suite
The top cabin is a Panorama Jacuzzi Suite, 42 sqm, with a private jacuzzi, at $710. Plenty of ships on Halong have a shared jacuzzi on the sundeck; having one in the room, on Bai Tu Long where there are almost no other boats in sight, is a different proposition.
Below that, Deluxe Ocean Balcony at $395 and Executive Ocean Balcony at $420. All three have balconies.
One booking note that matters
Larissa is not bookable before mid-October 2026. The operator's system returns no availability for September dates. If you are travelling before then, Ava will point you at Cycad, the other new Bai Tu Long ship, from $320.
What the two days hold
Departure is Halong International Cruise Port, then a tender out to the ship. Day two is Thien Canh Son Cave, which sits high enough that the walk out gives you the view back over Bai Tu Long.
Before you book
Meals, entrance fees, kayaking, Tai Chi and the cooking class are in the fare. Spa is charged on board. Transfer from Hanoi is separate.
Ava confirms your cabin and pickup within one hour of booking.
Is Larissa Cruise worth it? Our 2026 verdict
Larissa Cruise is a 5-star cruise on Bai Tu Long Bay with 28 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.
- Even the entry cabin is 42 m².
Worth knowing before you book
- There is no family room, so a family of four needs two cabins.
- It only sells 2 days 1 night on our site.
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.
