Note:

The Bay Management Board often gives notice to cancel the overnight sleep permit, possibly while you are on the tour. In such situations, we would like to ask for your understanding about it.

The rainy season from August to October in Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay often has very unusual weather conditions, so overnight cruises in the bay can be canceled unexpectedly, and often with very late notice.

In all cases, please contact our staff, we will always do our best to ensure your satisfaction.

Elite Of The Seas has 35 cabins with an elite, professional crew that provides you the best services during your trip in Ha Long

The spa is available on luxury cruises. Please kindly notice that this is an exclusive service. You will book the service with the cruise manager directly and pay yourself on the cruise.

If you intend to go kayaking, plan to have a change of clothes as you will easily get wet.

As for shoes, choose what is appropriate according to the temperatures and bring along trainers/walking shoes for the excursions (visiting caves, hiking, cycling, etc.).

Don’t forget your bathing suit! If you are cruising for 3 days/2 nights, you will be transferred on the second day, from about 8.30 AM to 4.30 PM on our day boat. You can plan to have a small backpack to take to the day boat as you will be able to leave the rest of your baggage in your cabin.

Swimming is permitted in Halong Bay, Vietnam, but it's crucial to adhere to safety guidelines. Watch out for jellyfish, stay within designated swimming areas to avoid boat traffic, and consider wearing a life jacket, particularly if you're not a confident swimmer. Be mindful of underwater currents, which can be strong, and stay close to your group or lifeguard stations. Avoid swimming alone, especially in remote spots, and supervise children closely. Check the weather forecast before swimming to ensure safe conditions.

Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay is preferable depending on individual insights.

Halong Bay is famous for its impressive limestone formations, boasting stunning scenery with countless towering islands and islets. It's a popular destination with plenty of cruise options, activities, and sights to see. On the other hand, Lan Ha Bay is often seen as a quieter alternative to Halong Bay. It shares similar breathtaking landscapes but with fewer visitors. It's known for its untouched beaches, clear waters, and peaceful atmosphere.
