You can see this choice if you click the button “Book” and follow all steps. Children under 5 years old will share the seats with their parents without any charge.

On the 2nd day, we can cycle around Viet Hai Village. The total distance for two ways is about 10 kilometers. We do not have any special requirements for those who prefer to cycle. I think that your farther can join the cycling tour. We may have one group of cycling and another of using an electric car. While your father is riding the bike, he can stop at any point to get on the electric car instead of keeping the riding. Don’t worry, the bike cannot be stolen in this village even you leave it in the path.

Hi, you can pay for the bills on board in cash, of course. It is also okay to pay by credit card (with payment transaction fees). During the time you had confirmed the booking, you are in another country, so we can not meet together to collect the payment in cash. It is necessary to pay a deposit in advance to secure the booking, so payment online by credit card is the most convenient way.

Tipping is not a type of compulsion on Perla Dawn Sails. If you are satisfied with all services and the caring of the tour guide and crews, you can give them a tip. Normally, it can be $10 - $20.

The itinerary of Perla Dawn Sails starts from Got Harbor (Cat Hai Port), Hai Phong City. The shuttle service starts and finishes at Hanoi for a round trip. To make sure we are all on time for the cruise, the driver cannot pass through Hai Phong City to pick up clients from there. So if you stay in Hai Phong, you should take a taxi or hire a private transfer to go to Got Harbor. Please note that the standard starting time is at around 12.00 at noon. Besides, we also provide a private transfer to pick you up from Hai Phong City with a surcharge. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any requirements.

You can bring your suitcases with you on the cruise. It should be one per person. If you have many suitcases, you should leave some of them at the hotel. The Limousine Van for transferring and the luxury cabin on the cruise are spacious enough to store your luggage for your whole trip.

V’Spirit Premier Cruise follows the route to visit Lan Ha Bay, so it does not reach Titov Island. Instead of that, you can have a chance to discover the Dark & Bright Cave, and Tra Bau Area. Also, you can swim in any area of Lan Ha Bay. Just jump off the boat and refresh yourself in the cool water.

Hi, we are an overnight cruise offering 2-day 1-night and 3-day 2-night itineraries. If you prefer to join a one-day cruise, please have a look at day cruise options in Lan Ha Bay. I would like to recommend Escape Sails – the day cruise belonging to the V’Spirit Cruises group. This day cruise offers a 7 – 8-hour itinerary to discover Lan Ha Bay. For more information on the detailed itinerary, please see Escape Sails.

The itinerary with V’Spirit Premier Cruise is relaxing and interesting with various activities onboard and outdoors. So your children can have a great time on the cruise trip. V’Spirit Premier Cruise also offers interconnecting rooms for families of 4 people. You can choose to have 02 double beds or 01 double bed & 02 single beds, or 04 single beds.

We have wi-fi connection in the public area including the restaurant area. However, the further we go into Lan Ha Bay, the weaker the internet connection is. Sometimes, we cannot get access to the wi-fi signal. In some cases, you can ask the tour guide to share his mobile internet with you if possible. He/she will be willing to do that.

In the Dark and Bright Cave area, you can choose one of the two options: join a rowing sampan boat by the local or do kayaking around to discover on your own. The Bright Cave is allowed to visit, but it is not for the Dark Cave because of its risk. The Bright Cave is surrounded by the limestone mountains in different shapes. Visiting this area, you can have a closer look at the wild beauty of nature here. If you are fortunate enough, you can see the monkey on the rocky mountains. You can only find this kind of monkeys in Cat Ba.

We are not allowed to prepare Halal food on the cruise, so we will prepare vegetarian food and seafood instead of meats for those who require Halal meals.

If you go with the cruise shuttle service, you need to transform into another private car or taxi to reach the airport when you arrive at Hanoi. The shuttle service needs to drop off other passengers in the Hanoi Old Quarter, so we cannot transfer you to the airport. However, we can have to arrange the transfer to Hanoi Airport after you arrive at Hanoi. So just inform us in advance.

Hi, for the drinks and your personal expenses on board, you can pay in cash or credit card (the transaction fee is not included). Kayaking and sampan boat fees are included in the price, so you don’t need to pay for these services. Your personal expenses can be spa & massage services, tips for cruise staff, and drinks.

In case of the bad weather condition and officially announced by the Halong Board Management, we will apply our cancellation policy as below:

• If the cancellation is made right before departure time from Hanoi (none of the services has been used): 100% refund.
• If the cancellation is made during the cruise trip (some of the services have been used: transfer, food, etc.): used services are charged, the rest is refundable.
• In case the cruise trip must be shortened from 3 days 2 nights to 2 days 1 night, plus other used services are charged, the rest is refundable.

In case it will be raining but all cruises in Halong Bay are allowed to run, we still follow the cruise itinerary.

By using the cruise’s shuttle service, you will start from Hanoi at around 09.00 am, then arrive at Got Pier at around 12.00 and embark on the cruise. On the next day, you will disembark the cruise at around 12.00 at noon and then drive back to Hanoi (follow the shuttle service if you book it in advance). Arrive at Hanoi at around 14.30 – 15.00. After that, it takes you around 40 minutes to get to the airport. So it is impossible to catch the flight in the morning if you back to Hanoi from a cruise on that day.

Kindly be advised that V’Spirit Premier Cruise starts from Got Pier, so you need to catch the ferry from Cat Ba to Got Pier. Our shuttle service is from Hanoi, so it cannot meet you at Cat Ba. The standard boarding time is at around 12.00 at noon, so please be ready at the waiting lounge of V’Spirit Premier Cruise at Got Pier on time.

Unlike V’Spirit Classic Cruise, Premier one is a luxury cruise launched the route to discover Lan Ha Bay from the Got Harbor. The Premium Suite Triple features one double bed and one extra bed. This cabin is the largest one of the cruise, located toward the back of the cruise on the 2nd floor, so you can have a 90-degree view from the big windows of the cabin, and also can spend your time relaxing in the spacious private balcony.

Our Limousine shuttle service offers a round-way transfer from Hanoi Old Quarter Area to Tuan Chau Harbor and back. Because we provide a shuttle service for different groups joining Alisa Cruise, the bus cannot drop you off at Hanoi Airport after the cruise trip. However, we can arrange private services to transfer you to Hanoi Airport. Please inform us of your flight schedule and our consultant will help to arrange the car to pick you up after you return Hanoi from the cruise trip, and then the driver will drive you to the airport. It takes us around 30 – 40 minutes to reach Hanoi Airport from the center of Hanoi. The cost of the airport drop-off service will be confirmed by our consultant.

According to our booking policy, a deposit of 50% of the total cost is required to be paid in advance to confirm the booking. However, this amount of money can be smaller or larger depending on the number of participants and the date of booking. Our consultant will discuss with you and make an exact settle for the deposit which is agreed by both of us. You can pay the deposit through a payment online link which is created and sent by us. Or you can pay by bank transfer. However, making the payment by online links is faster and much more convenient, and requires a lower transaction fee. So, we highly recommend the way of online payment.

After the 2 days 1-night itinerary, we will follow the highway to return to Hanoi at around 14.30 – 15.00. Therefore, you will have enough time to transfer to Hanoi International Airport before 16.00 and take your flight at 17.50. We also arrange the airport transfer by private car on request.
