What to expect on a Halong Bay cruise overnight

A Halong Bay cruise overnight is not just a regular vacation, but also a journey that takes you to the world natural heritage.

Sunset welcome and ocean-view check-in

Upon boarding, you will be greeted with a welcome drink and guided to check in. Spacious cabins with private balconies allow you to see the sea from the very first minutes. This is the perfect moment to relax and start the journey in a light mood.

Kayaking across lagoons and limestone caves

One of the most popular activities on the Halong Bay cruise overnight is kayaking. You will pass through Luon Cave, Dark-Bright, Frog Pond or other peaceful lagoons. The turquoise sea, towering limestone mountains and fresh air create an experience that is both relaxing and magical.

Swimming and floating pool relaxation

Depending on the cruise, you can enjoy the infinity pool on the deck, where the sea and sky become one. On days with nice weather, visitors also have the opportunity to swim in the middle of the bay, feeling the cool water embracing their bodies.

Sunset party and fine-dining dinner

In the afternoon, you will join a sunset party with cocktails, fruits and light music. The sunset falls on the sea, creating an unforgettable romantic scene. After that, visitors enjoy a fine dining dinner, including a set menu or a luxurious buffet prepared by professional chefs.

Sunrise and sunset on the deck

Sunrise and sunset are the “specialties” of Halong cruises. Breathing in the quiet space, watching the sun slowly appear behind the limestone mountains, that is the purest moment of the journey.

Cave exploration and island hiking

At the end of the trip, visitors will explore famous landmarks such as Sung Sot cave, Titop island or Trung Trang cave (on the Lan Ha route).

Combine your cruise with other northern Vietnam experiences

Do you think traveling is just about sightseeing? Smart travelers now choose to combine Wellness right into the trip. The perfect formula for this year’s Halong – Hanoi itinerary is: A night on the bay and a “chill” afternoon at Dr.Smile’s dental chair.

Why is Dr.Smile in the itinerary? Simply convenience and cost optimization. Dr.Smile in Hanoi is a reasonable choice for services such as whitening and scaling with similar quality but much more “affordable” cost. Go out and take advantage of beauty – kill two birds with one stone!

Don’t worry about language barriers or quality. Dr.Smile is a familiar “smile ambassador” of the international tourist community thanks to a team of doctors who “speak” English like the wind and have international standards of skills. A 5-star medical experience right in the heart of a backpacking trip? Why not!

Tips to pick the best luxury cruise this year

To choose the right cruise for your overnight Halong Bay cruise, you need a few tips!

If you want to avoid the crowds and enjoy a fresher, more peaceful space, choose the Lan Ha route instead of the traditional Halong route. The water in Lan Ha is bluer, there are fewer boats, the scenery is still majestic but the experience is more private and relaxing, very suitable for couples or luxury resorts.

Oravina’s experience shows that the 2nd or 3rd floor cabins always have the most ideal view: not too close to the water, not blocked by the deck structures and especially perfect for watching the sunset or sunrise. If you like a large balcony or a bathtub facing the sea, ask early so Oravina can reserve a nice room for you.

The Gulf of Tonkin area often has storms or heavy rain in August-November, especially September-October. For a smooth overnight Halong Bay cruise experience, with clear skies and little wind, you should prioritize the period from December to May. If you are forced to go during stormy weather, choose a large cruise and prepare an alternative plan. Luxury cruises often sell out very quickly, especially during the peak season. 

Therefore, book 2-4 weeks in advance to ensure a satisfactory cabin. If you have never been to Halong and would like to be suggested a suitable room type, itinerary or cruise, just contact Oravina. Our team will support you in choosing based on your needs, budget and travel style.
