Daiichi Luxury Cruise Lan Ha Bay 4 Days 3 Nights

The 4 days 3 nights Daiichi Luxury Cruise sails from Ben Beo pier on Cat Ba island, Hai Phong, through Ha Long Bay into Lan Ha Bay. Three nights in a balcony suite, ten meals, Viet Hai village, Ba Ham Lake, Monkey Island, a floating fishing village, Three Peach Beach, Trung Trang Cave and the Cannon Fortress. From US$489 per person, two sharing, with a bottle of wine, a fruit plate and two one-hour massages per cabin included. Transfers from Hanoi are not included.

What is the 4 days 3 nights Daiichi Luxury Cruise?

It is the longest of the three Daiichi programmes: three nights on a 5-star ship where every cabin has a private balcony, working the Lan Ha Bay route rather than the crowded central Ha Long route. Two full days have no transfer in them at all, which is what lets the ship reach Three Peach Beach, Trung Trang Cave and the Cannon Fortress — places the shorter cruises never get to.

Daiichi Luxury Cruise has 30 cabins across four categories and was launched in 2026, carrying a maximum of 70 overnight guests. There are no inside cabins: every one has its own balcony and panoramic view. On board there is an all-season Jacuzzi, a sundeck, a sky bar, a tea room, a glass bridge, a spa, a restaurant and a lift between decks.

What does the 4 day cruise include that the shorter ones do not?

Three things. A second full day on the bay, which buys Three Peach Beach in the morning and Trung Trang Cave and the Cannon Fortress in the afternoon. A Dong Ho folk-painting session on the third evening instead of a repeat cooking class. And a welcome package the shorter cruises do not carry: a bottle of wine, a fruit plate and two one-hour therapeutic massages per cabin.

Where does the Daiichi Luxury Cruise depart from?

The ship boards at Ben Beo pier on Cat Ba island in Hai Phong, about three hours from central Hanoi by the coach-and-speedboat shuttle. Boarding is at 12:00 and you disembark between 11:30 and 12:00 on the fourth day. You can reach the pier on the cruise company shared shuttle, by private car, or under your own arrangements; none of these is in the fare. The same ship also boards at Tuan Chau in Ha Long.

What are the cabins on Daiichi Luxury Cruise like?

Four categories run from the 28 to 32 m2 Senior Suite up to the 53 m2 Royal Suite on deck 4 with its own roof terrace. This programme is priced in a Senior Suite; the other three are quoted on request. Three nights is long enough that the cabin earns its upgrade — the Triple and Family Suites have a bathtub as well as a shower, and the Royal has a private roof terrace and a bow view.

How much does the 4 days 3 nights Daiichi Luxury Cruise cost?

US$489 per person for two adults sharing a Senior Suite, including VAT, for travel between 16 October 2026 and 15 May 2027. One adult alone in a Senior Suite pays a US$294 supplement. The fare covers the cruise programme from the pier, including the wine, fruit plate and two massages per cabin; it does not cover getting to the pier from Hanoi.

Dates covered: 16 October 2026 to 15 May 2027, the cruise high-season window. Low season runs 16 May to 15 October 2027 and is cheaper; the high season returns 16 October 2027. Christmas Eve, 31 December and the five days of Tet carry a fixed surcharge of 560,000 VND (about US$23) per person for everyone aged 5 and over, free for under-5s. The fare is confirmed on booking and depends on cabin availability.

Is the shuttle bus from Hanoi to Cat Ba included?

No. Transport between Hanoi and the pier is not in the cruise fare, which starts at the pier. The cruise company runs a shared coach-and-speedboat shuttle from Hanoi Old Quarter that you add to your booking, from 400,000 VND (about US$17) per person return. What is free is the local transfer: hotel pick-up and drop-off inside Cat Ba town and Ben Beo, or inside Bai Chay in Ha Long.

From Ha Long the Tuan Chau shuttle runs at 08:00, returning 12:00, about 2.5 hours, at 350,000 VND return on the standard coach or 500,000 VND on the limousine. A third service runs Ninh Binh to Tuan Chau on the same times and price. Boarding is at 12:00, so the 08:00 coach from Hanoi is the one that fits.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancelling more than 30 days before departure costs nothing on a booking of one or two cabins. Inside 30 days the charge rises with how close you are and how many cabins you hold: 25% at 7 to 14 days, 50% at 3 to 6 days, and 100% inside 72 hours or for a no-show. Larger bookings are charged earlier, because the ship has more to re-sell.

If the cruise cancels, you are refunded in full. That covers storms and floods, a departure ban issued by the port authority, and any other force majeure that stops the ship sailing. If the ship cannot run the programme as scheduled, you are told at once and you choose between a full refund of everything you have paid, made within three days of that notice, or a replacement departure if one is available. Our own booking terms sit alongside this schedule and are written into your quotation.

When is the best time to cruise Lan Ha Bay?

March to May and September to November are the most reliable months: warm water, clear air and the lowest chance of a cancelled stop. Summer is hot and bright but carries typhoon risk, and December to February is cool and often misty. On a three-night cruise the season matters most of all, because two whole days are built around water.

What do children pay on the Daiichi cruise?

Children under 3 travel free of charge, with any fee a supplier charges settled on the spot. Children aged 3 to 10 pay 68% of the adult fare without an extra bed and 86% with one. A child of any age sharing a cabin with only one adult pays the full adult fare.
