Halong Bay cruise overview
Victory Star is the sister boat to Victory: same 2007 build, same 21 cabins, same Halong Bay route. Every cabin here has a balcony, which is the reason to pick it.
Three cabins, three deck positions
Deluxe Ocean View Balcony is 24 sqm at $130. Suite Ocean View Balcony is 30 sqm at $158. President Suite is 35 sqm at $185. All three take two adults and a child.
The jump from Deluxe to Suite costs $28 and buys six square metres. The jump to President costs another $27 for five more. If you are travelling as a couple and the cabin is somewhere to sleep, the Deluxe is the sensible one.
Compared with Victory
Victory sells a single 16 sqm cabin with no balcony at $110. Victory Star starts at 24 sqm with a balcony at $130. For most travellers the $20 is worth it.
On board
Restaurant, bar and sundeck. Cooking class, kayaking and squid fishing at the overnight anchorage.
Before you book
Both Victory boats date from 2007. Cabins are smaller and finishes older than the 2025 builds on the same route. What you are buying here is a balcony at a price the new boats do not reach.
Is Victory Star Cruise worth it? Our 2026 verdict
Victory Star Cruise is a 4-star cruise on Halong Bay with 21 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.
- It also runs a 3 days 2 nights trip, from $250 per person (May to September).
Worth knowing before you book
- There is no family room, so a family of four needs two cabins.
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.
