1. Take a look at Trip Advisor

The ranking on Trip Advisor could be a good “arrow” to having some first options of cruises. Take a look at top 15 Halong Bay’s cruises, check their information and also the reviews of other tourists. Then, you can shorten the list down to 5-10 best cruises.

2. Decide the length of your trip

The itinerary offered on boat usually range from 1 day to 3 days/2 nights. Each length has different journey, different stops; so depending on your time budget and where you want to visit, you will decide the length of your trip.

3. Research on cruises’ websites

The official websites are also provided on Trip Advisor. Land on those to take a look at the detail information. Research more profound by looking at the company profile, the vessels and itineraries. Several programs with the same length will be available, then, your money budget will be the key point; choose one program that you can afford. But if the price is higher, go for the step 4.
