If you are on Honeymoon, a backpacker, on a budget, a relaxer, an adventurer or with the family, there are different solutions of cruise depending which camp you sit in.

The Perfect Choice for a Honeymoon Cruise

For Honeymooners it has to be luxury. Go for the 2 day 1 night aboard the L’Amour charter junk by IndochinaJunk. Imagine a romantic night with wine, candles and privacy; an en-suite room which has stunning views across the bay and an outside dining area to indulge in the delicious cuisine; your suite decorated with roses and candles makes this a very special occasion. For this cruise you can expect to pay between £400/£300 which is not bad for such a unique experience!

Why is a Ha Long Bay Cruise Great for Backpackers?

For the Backpacker, get ready for adventure and activities galore! Cruising, cliff jumping, kayaking, climbing and back to the beach for a sunset party – and this is just day 1. Cycling, trekking, boat jumping, swimming and dinner and another night of fun is day 2. Day 3 is a little more relaxing to prepare you for your return to normal society. Costs, all in for around £130 for 3 days and 2 nights.

If you are on a budget, there is a 2 day 1 night itinerary for around £120. Explore the caves, go swimming and kayaking with meals and overnight on board gets you a really great experience at a fabulous price. For the Relaxer – let’s not rush things. Go for the 3 day 2 night cruise, relaxing swim, view the caves as you relax in a recliner with copious amounts of food and wine to while away your ocean views. For the Adventurers out there go for an alternative 2 day 1 night option where you spend a whole day kayaking, exploring Lan Ha Bay, followed by rock climbing on a private beach with a spot of paddle boarding – all for around £135.
