Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
Le Journey Elegance launched in 2025 with 22 cabins on Lan Ha Bay. Along with Majesty Prime and Velar it is one of the newest hulls on the bay.
What Le Journey is good at
The afternoon anchorage is Tra Bau, which was used as a filming location for Kong: Skull Island. You kayak or swim there, and it is one of the quieter corners of Lan Ha rather than a busy stop.
Day two is deliberately easy: sampan through the arch of Dark and Bright Cave into the lagoon, back on board, brunch at 10:00 while the ship crosses the islands home. Nothing to climb, nothing to rush.
Choosing a cabin
Junior Suite is 28 sqm ($285) and Senior Suite is 30 sqm ($315), one deck higher. The Elegance Suite is 45 sqm at $345, the largest room on board and the best value by a wide margin. There are only two of them, at the bow.
The Panorama Suite is 35 sqm on the top deck, with a large window and beds for three adults ($485 for the whole room May to September, $510 October to April). It suits three people who want the highest deck. For two, the Elegance Suite is bigger and cheaper.
Travelling as three on a tighter budget, the Family Triple is 30 sqm at $430 on the first deck, with a double and a single bed.
Before you book
A tender runs from Tuan Chau Marina out to the ship. Transfer from Hanoi is charged separately.
Meals, entrance fees, kayaking, Tai Chi and the cooking class are in the fare. Spa is charged on board.
Ava confirms your cabin and pickup within one hour of booking.

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.
