Disclaimer and affiliate disclosure

This site is an independent information guide. We earn commission on some bookings, prices and rules change often, and your booking is always with the platform or the operator, not with us.

Independent site

lanhabay.cruises is not affiliated with, endorsed by or the official site of any cruise line, tour operator, port, the Cat Hai Special Zone, Hai Phong City, Quang Ninh Province or Cat Ba National Park. Ship names, brand names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to identify the products we describe.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and book, we may earn a commission from:

  • GetYourGuide, through its partner programme;
  • Klook, through its affiliate programme;
  • Trip.com, through its affiliate programme.

These links are marked as sponsored. The price you pay is the same as when you go to the platform directly; the commission is paid by the platform. The availability calendar on our pages is GetYourGuide's booking widget and shows its live dates and prices.

Commission does not decide what we recommend. We do not accept payment for reviews or rankings, and editorial scores are our own. We regularly point readers to products or operators that pay us nothing, such as booking directly with an operator, when that is the better choice.

Prices and availability

Prices shown on this site are "from" prices read from GetYourGuide, Klook and Trip.com on the date stated on each page, or prices published by operators on their own websites. They change daily and depend on the date, cabin type, number of guests and currency. The platform or operator's price at the moment of booking is the one that counts. Inclusions such as transfers, fees, drinks and VAT differ between listings for the same ship; check them before you pay.

Accuracy of information

We check facts against operator websites, the authorities in Hai Phong and Quang Ninh, and Vietnamese press, and we date our pages. Even so, things change quickly in Lan Ha: piers, ferry timetables, official fees, route rules, the status of kayaking, ship names and operators' terms can all change without notice. Information on this site is general travel information, not professional, legal, safety or financial advice.

Before you travel, confirm the essentials with your operator or platform: the ship's name, the departure pier and time, what is included, the cancellation terms and any current restrictions.

Weather, safety and cancellations

Sailing on Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay depends on weather and on decisions by the port authorities, which can stop departures or ferries on short notice, especially during the storm season. We are not responsible for cancellations, delays, itinerary changes or the conduct of operators and platforms. Follow the crew's safety instructions, including the requirement to wear a life jacket.

We link to operator websites, official bodies, press articles and booking platforms. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, prices, availability or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the linked site.
