Bai Tu Long Bay cruise overview
Prince is a wooden boat from 2007 with 4 cabins, on Bai Tu Long Bay. Eight guests at capacity.
Nearly a private charter
Four cabins on the quietest bay in the region is about as far from a Halong day-tripper crowd as you can get. If your group is four couples, you have the boat. If it is two of you, you are sharing with three other cabins at most.
The schedule is run to the minute, which small boats can do and large ones cannot: pickup 08:20, alongside 11:30, check-in 12:30, lunch 13:15, village visit 07:45 on day two. You are not waiting for anyone.
Ava also sells Bhaya Premium, another four-cabin boat, at $510. That one is on Halong Bay; Prince is on Bai Tu Long and $70 cheaper. Halong has the famous caves, Bai Tu Long has the empty water and the fishing village.
Choosing a cabin
One type: Deluxe, two people, no balcony, $440.
The operator does not publish the floor area, and on a 2007 boat Ava would rather you asked us to get it in writing than assume.
Before you book
Departure is Halong International Harbour. Transfer from Hanoi is charged separately. There is no spa 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.
