Best 3 Days 2 Nights Cruise: The Au Co Cruise
Launched in 2012, The Au Co of Bhaya Cruises Company is the first steel boat in Halong Bay offering continuous three-day cruise in a single trip through the Gulf of Tonkin, covering all three bays including Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay & Cat Ba Island. While other cruise operators use the same boats for 2 days 1 night trip, The Au Co Cruise’s vessels are dedicated solely for 3 days 2 nights trip so you can be assured of the professionalism in route designing and activities planning. In addition to bringing the guests to the most remote parts of the area to provide them with an exclusive itinerary, The Au Co features state of the art design in safety and luxury with private cabins each with fully equipped bathrooms and panoramic balconies.
Best Day Cruise: Emeraude tops the list
Emeraude Cruise is the unique when it comes to day cruise. While most other cruise such as Image Day Cruise, Alova Day Cruise or Phoenix Day Cruise uses a different vessel (which is option smaller in scale and not as beautifully decorated), Emeraude uses the same vessel for both day cruise and overnight cruise. The food standard as well as the cruise program is the same, which makes Emeraude truly stand out from the rest. The only disadvantage is that you will need to take a private car since there is no shuttle bus service available for Emeraude day cruise, which may make the cruise trip a bit pricey.
Best Value Cruise: Glory Cruise is ideal option for budgeted travelers
At approximately 110 USD per person for 2 day 1 night trip with food and all activities included, Glory Cruise tops the list when it comes to value cruise. The amenities on board can match that of any other cruise in the deluxe range but the price is only a fraction. Glory Cruise offers both 2 day 1 night and 3 day 2 nigh trip and is planning to focus its operation to Bai Tu Long Bay – the less crowded part of Halong Bay area.
