Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
Orchid Premium has only 5 cabins on Lan Ha Bay, all suites, each with a private terrace and a bathtub facing the bay, and a 24-hour butler service. At full occupancy that is around ten guests on board.
Cabins and prices
Per cabin, 2 days 1 night, same price all year.
- Terrace Suite, 45 sqm, lower deck: $750.
- Premium Terrace Suite, 48 sqm, upper deck: $800.
- Orchid Premium Exclusive Suite, 65 sqm, two adults: $1,100.
- Family Terrace Suite, 90 sqm, two connecting suites for four adults: $1,592.
- Family Premium Terrace Suite, 96 sqm, two connecting Premium Terrace Suites for four adults: $1,736.
What five suites buys
The crew cooks for ten people, not eighty, and the sundeck is rarely shared. The route is the same as Orchid Classic and Orchid Trendy, so what you pay for is space and privacy: the smallest suite here is 45 sqm.
On board
Restaurant, spa and massage, sundeck bar, a cooking demonstration, kayaking at Ao Ech on day one and Trung Trang Cave on Cat Ba Island on day two.
Before you book
With five suites the boat fills early, so book well ahead for October to April. If you want the Orchid route without the exclusivity premium, Orchid Cruise (Classic), a 14-suite boat, runs the same programme from $440 per cabin.

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.
