Boat Design
Halong Bay mid-range cruises are smaller boats with two or three decks, with overnight cruises usually having from 15 to 22 cabins.
Cruise styles of 4-star boats vary greatly: some are older wooden boats with traditional Vietnamese decorations, while the rest are newly built cruises with modern elements in their designs.
The cabins of 4-star cruises are designed for comfort. You can find fully-equipped rooms with sea-view windows, bathrooms with a tub or standing shower, mini-fridges, TVs, and more.
Compared to the spacious 5-star suites, cabins on mid-range cruises are more compact, averaging from 16 to 35 square meters in size. Moreover, not all entry-level cabins have private terraces, but you can definitely find some higher-class balcony rooms.
Both Halong Bay 4-star day and overnight cruises offer a selection of basic facilities, including restaurants, bars, sundecks, lounge areas, and jacuzzis.
In addition, some cruises provide other luxury amenities like spa & sauna rooms, or private gyms, but you usually have to pay extra for those services.
On mid-range cruises in Halong Bay, you can find outstanding services that make up for the lack of high-end facilities. The professional staff are helpful and will go above and beyond to ensure your comfort during the whole stay.
The Halong Management Board requires all mid-range cruises to follow one of five tourist routes. These itineraries include visits to famous spots in Ha Long Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, and Lan Ha Bay, as well as signature activities like kayaking, swimming, and cave exploration.
You have access to various entertainment options onboard, including happy hour at the bars, Vietnamese culinary classes, and sunset parties with teas and cakes.
Budget
Mid-range cruises are great for tourists who have a tighter budget on traveling, but still want to experience the best of Halong Bay. Prices per passenger for these cruises are around $40 – $75 for day tours and $140 to $160 for overnight trips.
Here are some 4-star cruises Fola Travel recommends you check out:
– Day cruises: Amethyst Day & Junior Cruises, Halong & Catba Catamaran Cruises, Iris Cruise…
– Overnight cruises: Serenity Explorer Cruises, La Pandora Cruises…
Each mid-range cruise has its own itinerary to different parts of Halong Bay and focuses on different activities, so you can choose one that is in line with your personal preferences.
Cruises to Ha Long Bay offer oppoturnities to explore beautiful islands and caves, as well as learn about some iconic landmarks of the bay. Granted, these are also the busiest routes, so they would be ideal for guests who don’t mind big crowds.
If you prefer to learn about the culture of local people, visit fishing villages, or go kayaking, cruises with Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay itineraries are perfect for you. Plus, they also have less traffic volume, hence a more peaceful and relaxing journey.
