Overview
A vacation aboard V'Spirit Premier, one of the deluxe cruises in Lan Ha Bay is a seamless choice for you to discover a part of the Halong Bay area that features an indistinguishable limestone duplicate of its more famous neighbor but still maintains its primitive natural beauty. Here, the roar of the engine is transgressed by the voice of the wild, where statuesque mountains, evocative caverns, and jungle-covered islands comprise nature's silent masterpiece.
Cruising with V'Spirit Premier Cruise, you will take part in many stimulating activities such as swimming, kayaking, cave exploring on a bamboo boat, all while sailing through less traveled waters in the poetically gorgeous Lan Ha Bay.
The V'Spirit Premier has 4 decks with 25 Suite Balcony cabins which are inspired by the original traditional styles with solid wood. Our goal is to offer our passengers not only a luxury experience with safety standards but also a traditional Vietnamese cruise with exciting activities and delicious food.
Environmental protection plays a crucial and growing role in sustainable tourism development. It is the reason why responsible tourism is a distinct passion for the V'Spirit Team. We carry in our mind the essence of Green Spirit; through proper recycling, energy efficiency, and regular clean-up events, our Halong Bay Cruise Deals team fights for the future of a healthy Halong Bay.

Mirabel
United Kingdom"Happy and Great ship"
We spent 2D1N for the trip to Halong Bay with V’Spirit Premier Cruise. And we had an awesome experience. We would thank our chef for his hospitable and Vegetarian food. So great!! All cabins were luxurious and the beds were comfortable too. For me, outdoor activities like kayaking and squid fishing are very interesting and were definitely worth a try when coming here. If I had a chance to comeback Halong again, I still choose V’Spirit Premier Cruise for my trip.

Singapore"Amazing service, helpful and friendly staff"
This tour is great for family trips. We stayed on board for 2 days and 1 night. We enjoyed our day with many activities. The morning is the magic time of the day on Lan Ha Bay. We head to the upper deck to participate in our daily Tai Chi sessions or relax with an early morning cup of tea, coffee or juice to watch the stunning scenery. We are served with delicious food. And thanks to all the staff of Halong Bay Cruise Deals who have made our trip more wonderful and memorable. Thanks a lot!
Acacia
United States"Overnight Cruise Halong Bay"
We had a fantastic experience with V'Spirit Premier Cruise! We were collected from our hotel with a limousine bus at 8 am. And then we are welcomed on board with a complimentary drink. Our professional and friendly crew introduced a compulsory safety procedure session. The rooms were nice with big windows and have the Seaview. The beds were super comfy too. We also enjoyed many interesting activities like kayaking, squid fishing, spring roll cooking class,…All meals are more than enough and delicious. Moreover, truly thanks to the crew and our lovely guide for making our experience more comfortable. And we would recommend this tour for those who are planning to overnight on Cruise in Halong Bay.

What an awesome time! We had a 2N1D tour with V’Siprit Premier Cruises which was above expectation. And we will cherish for a lifetime. The staff was so friendly and helpful. All the rooms were very large, lovely and had a great view. An amazing vegetarian food! Outdoor activities are interesting too, like kayaking or visiting the little villages. We also had fun with the excursions and just relaxing on the balcony. Thank you so much, would come here again.

Asked by Clinton
I am planning to book the cruise for 3-day 2-night itinerary. How do the drinks cost on board? And do we have a mini bar in our room? Thank you.
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
The drinks on the cruise are not expensive, especially if you buy the drinks in Happy Hours promotion from 17.30 – 19.00 (Buy 1 Get 1 Free). There is no minibar in the cabin, but you can ask the staff to keep the drinks you bought in the fridge in the bar.
Asked by Asha Negi
Hi, I want to book the tour with V’Spirit Premier Cruise during September for a group of 3 adults and 1 kid. Is it possible for me to ask for vegetarian meals? We are Indian vegetarians.
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
Hi, V’Spirit Premier Cruise is pleased to cater to vegetarian meals for your family. Please inform us you're dietary before your departure date, so we can prepare for your meals on board. Another way is to inform to our tour guide who will meet you at your hotel on the travel date. Just let us know in advance! It’s simple as it is. Thank you!
Asked by Elysia
Do the cabins have air-conditioners?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
Yes, V’Spirit Premier Cruise is a luxury cruise with fully equipped furniture including an air-conditioner for each cabin.
Asked by Iris
We have booked V’Spirit Premier Cruise as a 5-star cruise, but I’m confused after I read all the reviews. Is it a luxury & new cruise? And where the triple room is accommodated? Does the cabin have a private balcony?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Zane
Can I be picked up from Cat Ba instead of Hanoi?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Edsel
What time can I return to Hanoi? I have a morning flight the next day.
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Enda
I plan to go with V’Spirit Premier Cruise in July. I understand that it is in rainy season. If I book the cruise and pay for it in advance and it will be raining on the day I travel to Halong Bay, what will happen? Can I get a refund?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
- The final amount of charge and refund will be confirmed by our travel consultant via email. Please contact us directly if you need any urgent help!
In case it will be raining but all cruises in Halong Bay are allowed to run, we still follow the cruise itinerary.
Asked by Aimée
Hello, we will go with V’Spirit Premier Cruise for 3 days 2 nights in December. I understand that we need cash to pay for our drinks. Do we need cash for other services like kayaking, and sampan boat?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Richard
If I do 2-day 1-night itinerary, can I go directly to the airport instead of Hanoi when I return on the next day?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Corentin
Hi, can I request for Halal food on the cruise?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Henry
How can I explore the Dark and Bright Cave in Lan Ha Bay?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Zachary
I am wondering if I can get wi-fi connection on the cruise.
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Meliora
Can I know if 1-night itinerary is suitable for children or not? And can I get a family room or interconnecting room for 4 people?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Emilia
Can I join one-day tour to Lan Ha Bay with V’Spirit Premier Cruise?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
Asked by Sienna
Do we visit Titov Island with V’Spirit Premier Cruise?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
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.
