Cabins and Prices
Prices are per person and depend on the cabin and on whether you take our Hanoi bus or meet the ship at Tuan Chau:

|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Seaview, 1st floor | $139 | $148 |
| Deluxe with private balcony, 2nd floor | $150 | $165 |
| Premium with terrace, 2nd floor | $165 | $180 |
Included: the cabin night, two buffet lunches, dinner and breakfast, Hanoi transfers if you choose the bus option, entrance fees, the cooking class, Tai Chi and an English-speaking guide. Drinks beyond the included ones, spa services and tips are extra, as are holiday surcharges on 24 and 31 December, Lunar New Year, 30 April, 1 May and 2 September.
Joining the Ship at Tuan Chau
Driving yourself or already in Ha Long? The “depart from Ha Long” price skips the bus, and hotels on Tuan Chau island put you a short drive from the Block 7 pier the night before — useful if you would rather not start the day with a 7:45 AM pickup (we weigh it up in a night at Tuan Chau before the Cozy Bay Grand). Coming from Hanoi instead, leave heavy luggage at your hotel; you only need one night’s bag on board.
