    What's the difference between Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay - and which should I choose?

    Ha Long Bay is the famous, busier UNESCO bay with iconic karst scenery and many vessels. Lan Ha Bay, just south near Cat Ba Island, offers the same dramatic limestone landscapes but far fewer crowds, quieter anchorages, and more beaches. If you want privacy and calm, choose a Lan Ha route; if you want the classic, well-known views, choose Ha Long.

    What itineraries does Green Ruby offer?

    We offer four itineraries across two bays - two on Ha Long Bay and two on Lan Ha Bay - each available as a 2-day/1-night or 3-day/2-night cruise.

    Should I choose 2D1N or 3D2N?

    Choose 2D1N for a relaxed first taste of the bay. Choose 3D2N to reach quieter, farther waters, enjoy more activities (kayaking, Cat Ba, fishing villages), and truly unwind - the extra night makes the journey from Hanoi more worthwhile.

    Why does Green Ruby sail the quieter Lan Ha Bay routes?

    We deliberately chart less-crowded passages through Lan Ha Bay and around Cat Ba, so guests enjoy the same spectacular scenery without the flotilla of boats. Fewer hulls in the water means calmer anchorages, cleaner views, and a more private experience.

    What does a typical day on board look like?

    Days blend gentle activity and rest: sunrise tai chi, kayaking or swimming in hidden lagoons, visits to caves or floating villages, leisurely meals, sunset on the sundeck, and quiet nights at anchor. Your full itinerary is shared at booking.

    Do you visit Cat Ba Island, floating fishing villages, and hidden lagoons?

    Yes - depending on your itinerary, stops can include Cat Ba Island, traditional floating fishing villages, hidden lagoons, caves, and secluded beaches for swimming and kayaking.

    Can the itinerary be customized?

    For private charters and special occasions, yes - within the bay's navigation rules and weather conditions. Talk to our team about tailored routes and experiences.

    Where does the cruise depart from?

    We depart from Tuan Chau, where guests check in at our private waiting lounge before boarding - a calmer, more comfortable start than the crowded public terminals.

    How do I get from Hanoi to the port, and how long is the transfer?

    The drive from Hanoi to the Tuan Chau area takes roughly 3 hours via expressway. We can arrange door-to-door transfers from your Hanoi hotel.

    Is hotel transfer included - private car or shuttle?

    Transfers are not included in the cruise fare. Shared limousine shuttle service between Hanoi and Ha Long is available at an additional charge, and private transfers can also be arranged upon request.

    How far is Hai Phong (Cat Bi) Airport from the port?

    Cat Bi International Airport in Hai Phong is approximately 45 minutes-1 hour away, making it a convenient arrival point alongside Hanoi.
