Lan Ha Bay cruise overview
V'Spirit is a ship from 2018 with 18 cabins on Lan Ha Bay. It is one of the smaller boats Ava sells here, which means fewer people at every stop.
What V'Spirit is good at
It has a proper triple cabin, which matters more than it sounds. Most ships handle a third guest by wheeling a spare bed into a double. V'Spirit sells the Junior Triple as its own room type at $460.
The afternoon stop is Tra Bau, one of the more secluded corners of Lan Ha, and day two goes through Bright Cave by sampan rowed by a local rather than by kayak. Between the small passenger count and the quiet anchorage, this is the ship to pick if crowds are what put you off Halong.
Choosing a cabin
Four types: Junior $300, Senior $330, Executive $380, and the Junior Triple at $460 for three people. All four have balconies.
One thing to be aware of: the operator does not publish cabin floor areas for this ship, so Ava cannot tell you the square metres the way we can for other boats. If exact room size matters to your decision, ask us and we will get it in writing from the operator before you commit.
Before you book
The shuttle from Hanoi is an extra charge and boarding is around noon. You are back alongside at Tuan Chau at about 11:00 on day two.
Meals, entrance fees, kayaking, Tai Chi and the cooking class are in the fare.
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.
