Questions & Answers (28)
Ask a questionOne of the responses in the Q&A indicates that the cruise is All Inclusive (including drinks). However, in the 'Exclusions' section, it indicates that drinks are excluded. Can you please confirm what the policy is for drinks?
Dear Matt, Regarding your question, please be advised that we have just changed the price on our website to full board option only (exclusive drinks) so you will order and pay for drinks yourself on the Emperor cruise. It helps you to save costs for services that you may not want to use. If you still want to book for the all inclusive option, please let me know your travel date and group size, I will bring you the best offer. Should you have other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Cindy
Hi. I’m looking for a 2-night cruise that I can join in activities I like and skip one if I don’t like. Does this cruise make sure that I won’t leave the boat a full day?
Dear Katarina, For all cruises, you can choose to join activities you like and skip the one you don't like. However, most Halong Bay cruises will use another boat (small day boat/speed boat) on the second day to take you to further areas of the bay and you will only come back in the afternoon. If you want to just relax on the main boat and have access to your room, you can skip the excursions on the second day but the itinerary will be repeated. Should you need further information, feel free to contact us. Regards, Mary.
Hello. I will start the tour on October 15th. What time does the cruise start? Do you have any service to pick us up from Noi Bai International Airport? Thanks.
Dear Juna Kim, The cruise starts at 12:00 pm and you need to be at the cruise pier at 11:30 for check-in. So if you can leave the airport no later than 9:00 am for the transfer, you can make the trip. The cost for a private car from Noi Bai Airport to Halong is US$110/car/way for 2 persons. Should you need further information, feel free to contact us. Regards, Mary
I have booked your cruise on November 24th. How can I get to the cruise terminal from my hotel in Hanoi? Can I book a transfer service to get there?
Dear Hans, We offer shuttle bus round trip Hanoi - Halong - Hanoi for $40/person. The driver will pick you up right at your hotel and take about 2.5 hours to get to the pier. Please contact us if you want to book it. Regards, Tearis
