Twenty-Two Cabins on the Quiet Bay
2 Days / 1 Night
Bai Tu Long Bay2 Days / 1 Night aboard the La Regina Classic Cruise.
A wooden-hulled ship of twenty-two cabins working Bai Tu Long, where the traffic thins out - Thien Canh Son Cave on the first afternoon and Vung Vieng floating village on the second morning. Sold as a 2D1N; the operator publishes no three-day version.

2 Days / 1 Night, hour by hour.
What makes it special.
The cabins
Deluxe and Premium Ocean View, Suite and Terrace Suite, all on a wooden-hulled ship of twenty-two cabins.
Worth knowing
Only the Terrace Suite has a private balcony, which is worth checking before a cabin grade is chosen.
On board
The restaurant and bar have panoramic windows, and there is a spa and a sundeck bar as well.
The route
Bai Tu Long draws far fewer boats - the cave on the first afternoon, the floating village on the second morning.

About this boat, and about cruising the bay.
There are 4 cabin grades aboard La Regina Classic Cruise: Deluxe Ocean View, Premium Ocean View, Suite and Terrace Suite. Sizes run from 15m² to 27m². The full table of sizes, beds and outlook is on this page.
La Regina Classic Cruise sails Bai Tu Long Bay. If you are still deciding between the bays, our comparison of Ha Long, Lan Ha and Bai Tu Long sets out how they differ in traffic, scenery and how far you travel to reach them.
Embarkation is at Ha Long International Cruise Port. Boarding starts around 11:30. The hour-by-hour itinerary above gives the timings for the day.
Road transfer from Hanoi takes roughly two and a half to four hours depending on which harbour the boat uses. We arrange the transfer with the cruise as one booking, so the timings match the boarding window rather than leaving you to work them out.
Overnight cruises in Ha Long normally include the cabin, all meals on board, the guided activities in the itinerary above and the bay entrance fees. Drinks, spa treatments and the transfer are the items that vary most between boats. We confirm exactly what is and is not included for this boat in writing before you pay, because it differs by operator and by season.
Ha Long Bay closes to cruise traffic when the harbour authority says so, usually for storms. If that happens we move the date or refund the cruise - you are never held to a sailing that cannot run. Our refund policy sets out the detail.
Yes. Most boats take children of any age and price them in bands rather than as adults, and many have family cabins or connecting rooms. Tell us the ages when you enquire and we will say which boats suit and what each one charges.
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergy requirements are all workable, but they need to be given at booking rather than on the day - the boat provisions before it leaves harbour and cannot restock at sea.
October to April is the settled season, with clear air and cool mornings. May to September is warmer and better for swimming, with a higher chance of a storm closing the bay. Our guide to Ha Long Bay goes into the months in more detail.
We'll build the La Regina Classic Cruise into a complete, private Northern Vietnam itinerary, planned and run for you, with the right cabin and every transfer handled.
