For travelers searching for a luxury overnight cruise from Hanoi, optional transfers make the journey easier to arrange.

Local Expert Tip: If you have enough time, a 2-day/1-night cruise is usually a better choice than a day cruise because you can experience sunset, sunrise and overnight life on the bay without extending your itinerary too much.
