A cabin for overnight cruise
Tourists firstly hesitated by the price difference. Most of them were afraid that they would waste their money and time on the Bay. The one night option is a safer choice. One night is ideal for those who want to experience the Bay within a limited time frame.
According to a cruise’s report, 70% of people stay for one night on Halong Bay, while 25% go for two nights, and the remaining 5% or so enjoy a three night cruise, not including those who simply go out for a day trip. Though the one night option seem to be more popular, many people regret that they didn’t take the 2 night cruise.
