FAQs

Can we check in onto the cruise after 1 p.m.?

Our check-in time is at 11.30 a.m. We can arrange an extra boat to transfer you to the cruise if you are late, but you will need to cover the extra cost for the private transfer.

Do I need to pay any extra fees when I visit caves with you?

No, you don’t. All cave entrance fees are included in the cruise price, so you don’t need to remember to take your change when you join us for one of our off-board excursions

Do you cater for special dietary requirements?

Yes, we do. We strive to satisfy all special dietary needs our guests might have – vegetarian and vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free, food allergies or religious restrictions. Just kindly let us know in advance what your requirements are.

Does the staff speak English or should I learn Vietnamese?

All our staff members speak English, so you’ll have no problem communicating with us during your time on board our cruise. However, we will appreciate any Vietnamese that you can use in conversations with us!

What should I bring with me on board?

Definitely start with your passport! Please also remember to bring some sunblock, sunglasses and a hat, a swimming suit and some insect repellent. If you’re travelling in winter, then don’t forget to pack some warm clothes (you’ll find them very useful when you join our Tai Chi class at sunrise).

Needed more time.

We loved the excurisions and entertainment on board – but one night isn’t enough. Would recommend spending more time in Halong and choosing the 2 night cruise. Next time!
