Facilities & services

For facilities, the main difference between day and overnight cruises is that overnight cruises include cabins while day cruises do not. You can find varied onboard activities such as a jacuzzi pool, gym, waterslides, cooking demonstration, or sunset party on luxury day cruises. Birthday party, honeymoon celebration, or proposal setup is also available on some day cruises upon request. However, most day cruises only include a restaurant, a bar, and a wide sundeck for sightseeing.

Having said that, Ambassador Day Cruise, the largest day cruise in Halong, still have cabin for day use in case you need a place to relax on your own.

Itineraries

Since cruising routes are regulated by Halong bay’s management board, day cruises can follow the same route as overnight cruises. Route 1 and 2 are the most popular routes for Halong day cruises.

Route 1: Thien Cung Grotto, Dau Go Grotto, Dog Island, Ba Hang, Incense Burner Island, Fighting Cock Island
Route 2: Soi Sim Island, Titop Island, Sung Sot Cave, Bo Nau Cave, Luon Cave, Ho Dong Tien Cave, Trong Cave, Trinh Nu Cave, Me Cung Cave

Besides, travelers can also join a day cruise to Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay - the adjacent areas of Halong Bay with similar scenery of limestone mountains and activities.

There are 3 main durations for day cruises which are 4 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours. Depending on the time, a day cruise can include 1 to 3 attractions. If you want to have more experience, an 8-hour itinerary would give you the best experience with adequate activities like overnight cruises such as visiting a cave, kayaking, swimming, or hiking.
