Dear Charlie, Yes, we do offer shuttle bus Hanoi - Halong - Hanoi for Peony Cruise. It is USD 35/person/round trip or USD 18/person/way. You will return to the pier at around 11:30 and then the bus will take you back to Hanoi Old Quarter at around 14:30. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)

Is this true that this ship is barely moving and you can't be in cabin any time you want? I travel with 7 month baby and I thought cruise is gonna be perfect for me, but now I'm reading that kayaking is obligatory and I can't stay in a boat…?
Dear Jagutek, May I understand that you are interested in a 3 days/2 night trip? For a 3 day tour, you will transfer to a day boat from 8am to 4pm on day 2 to do activities and have no access to your cabin during that time. However, if you want to skip the activities and stay in your cabin all the time, it is still fine. If you want a cruise that sails consecutively in 3 day (without using a day boat) you can have a look at Au Co Cruise instead. This cruise has an interesting itinerary for 3D2N where you can see both Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. Our offer is USD 690 for a deluxe cabin for 2 adults (+ a baby 7 months old) excluding transfers (USD 35/person/bus Hanoi - Halong - Hanoi). I hope my information is helpful and should you have other questions, please feel free to let me know. Best regards, Cindy

Hi There, I just had a couple questions. My boyfriend and I were looking to do the 2 day/1 night cruise Oct 22 2024. We will be coming from Hanoi and then after the cruise are heading to Ninh Binh.

Dear Michelle Coley, Peony cruise offers 2 days 1 night and 3 days 2 nights only so I hope the 3 days 2 nights cruise is okay for you.
