Hera Classic Boutique Cruise 3 Days 2 Nights

Hera Classic Boutique Cruise offers two main programs: 2 Days 1 Night and 3 Days 2 Nights in Halong Bay. Both itineraries include signature stops such as Sung Sot Cave, Titop Island, and Luon Cave with kayaking or bamboo boat options. The 3D2N program adds more exploration, including Trinh Nu Cave, Ba Trai Dao Beach, and a Pearl Farm visit. Guests can choose based on how much time and activity they prefer.

Check-in is arranged at the waiting lounge at No.12, Tuan Chau Marina. The cruise team will welcome you, assist with procedures, and guide you through boarding steps. Guests usually board around midday, depending on the itinerary. If you arrive early, you can wait comfortably at the lounge before the cruise departs.

Transfer is available for guests who book it as an extra service. Pickup is from Hanoi’s Old Quarter, using either a limousine or a shuttle bus, depending on your selection and group size. This is a convenient choice if you do not want to arrange transport on your own. If you travel independently, you can go straight to Tuan Chau Marina for check-in.

The package includes a 4-star overnight stay, welcome drink and cold towel, meals as listed in the itinerary, and complimentary tea, coffee, bottled water, and in-room amenities based on cabin standards. It also includes sightseeing entrance tickets, service charges, and insurance within the ticket package. Many onboard activities are included, such as Tai Chi, the cooking class, and cultural programs. Wi-Fi is available onboard, though signal may vary by bay area.

Personal expenses and services not clearly listed under “Inclusions” are not covered. Additional beverages beyond complimentary items will be charged, especially items ordered from the Sky Bar. Spa and massage services are optional and cost extra if you use them. Guests are also responsible for any other add-on services they request onboard. It is recommended to review the exclusions carefully to avoid surprises.

Hera Classic Boutique Cruise offers thoughtfully designed cabins with a refined boutique style and comfortable layout. The best option depends on your group size, preferred deck level, and whether you want a stronger focus on view and privacy. All cabins come with standard in-room amenities, plus fresh fruit and a complimentary foot bath basin with herbal sachets. If you share your travel dates and preferences, the booking team can recommend the most suitable cabin category.

Yes, children are welcome on Hera Classic Boutique Cruise, and many families choose this program for a short Halong experience. Activities like light beach time, island swimming, and scenic cruising can work well for children depending on age. Parents should supervise children during kayaking, swimming, and when moving around decks. If you are traveling with young kids, it is best to inform the team in advance for practical support and smoother arrangements.

Cruise schedules and routes may change due to weather conditions or official regulations for safety. In cases of storms, heavy fog, or bay closure, the operator may adjust activities, replace stops, delay departure, or cancel the trip. Safety always comes first, and the crew will keep guests informed with clear instructions. For cancellations caused by authorities, guests will typically be offered a reschedule or refund option depending on the booking policy.

Change and cancellation policies depend on your booking channel and the time period before departure. In many cases, changes may be allowed with notice, while late cancellations may involve fees. Public holidays, Tet, and peak seasons can have stricter rules due to high demand. The most reliable way is to confirm the exact policy at the time of booking so you understand deadlines and charges clearly.

Most guests find Halong Bay waters relatively calm, especially when the cruise anchors overnight in a quiet area. However, motion sensitivity can vary, and some people may still feel uncomfortable during certain parts of the route. If you are prone to seasickness, it helps to bring your preferred medication and avoid heavy meals before boarding. Choosing a cabin location with stable positioning can also make the trip more comfortable.

Yes, the kitchen can support common dietary needs such as vegetarian meals or selected restrictions, but advance notice is important. Guests should inform the booking team before departure so the chef can prepare suitable alternatives. This is especially necessary for strict requirements such as allergies, gluten-related needs, or religious diets. While the cruise can accommodate many requests, availability may depend on ingredient supply and timing.

Included activities typically cover kayaking or bamboo boat at Luon Cave, visiting Sung Sot Cave, and swimming or hiking at Titop Island. Kayaking is generally beginner-friendly, and staff provide basic guidance and safety instructions. If you prefer not to kayak, bamboo boat options may be available in some areas. Guests should wear comfortable clothing and follow crew instructions for a safe and enjoyable experience.

Yes, the cruise includes a simple cooking activity focused on Vietnamese floating rice cake (bánh trôi nước). It usually takes place during the Sunset Party, so guests can relax on the sundeck with tea or coffee while joining. The session is short, easy to follow, and designed for participation rather than long instruction. You can taste your handmade cake, which makes the experience more personal and fun.

Yes, Hera Classic Boutique Cruise includes cultural performances such as traditional music, a bamboo dance performance, and the “Footsteps of Heritage” costume fashion show. These activities are scheduled in the evening and are easy to join without preparation. The performances are designed to be engaging but not overwhelming, suitable for different age groups. They add a local touch to the cruise beyond the usual sightseeing.

Check-out typically takes place in the morning, and guests are asked to leave luggage outside the cabin for staff to move to a designated waiting area. After that, an early buffet lunch is served before returning to Tuan Chau Marina around late morning. Guests can settle any remaining onboard bills during this period. The schedule is organized to ensure a smooth exit without rushing, especially for guests using transfer services.
