Booking a Bai Tu Long Bay cruise with Viet Sails Boutique Cruises is simple and secure. There are no complicated third-party platforms, no hidden fees at checkout, no worries about whether your booking is confirmed or not. All you need to do is contact our team directly from the initial enquiry to boarding. Here’s how to book your 2D1N or 3D2N trip in just five easy steps.
If you have limited time but still want to have a real experience of immersing yourself in the bay, the 2 Days 1 Night (2N1D) package will be the perfect choice. You will visit the panoramic view of Thien Canh Son Cave, kayak to explore the hidden lagoons on Cop La Island, watch the sunset and sunrise on the bay, join a Vietnamese cooking class and squid fishing, and experience all meals and a comfortable overnight stay on a traditional cruise. This shortened tour package still offers the real Bai Tu Long experience if you choose a quality travel agency like Viet Sails.
3 Days 2 Nights (3N2D) is designed for travelers who have enough time to explore the whole view of Bai Tu Long Bay. An extra day gives you more time to explore more exotic spots like visiting Hang Thay by day boat, experiencing life at Vung Vieng Floating Village with its pearl farm, watching two sunsets and two sunrises, completely and absolutely relieving daily stress, and building real connections with the crew and fellow travelers on this ship.
If your Vietnam itinerary allows, the 3 days 2 nights package offers significantly better value each day and a deeper experience in quality. If time is limited, the 2 days 1 night package still retains the essence of Bai Tu Long beautifully.
Check room availability: Days are often fully booked 2-3 months in advance during peak tourist season (March-May, September-November). Flexible departure dates or early bookings give you the opportunity to choose the room type you like.
Each cabin type at Viet Sails combines traditional and modern Vietnamese features, with amenities to suit different types of travelers.
The first room type is the Deluxe Ocean View (12m²), suitable for solo travelers, couples, and travelers who spend most of their time on deck (mainly sleeping). Amenities include single or double beds, large windows overlooking the bay, private bathrooms with hot showers, air conditioning, high-quality linens, and handcrafted wooden furniture. This is Viet Sails’ most popular and affordable cabin type.
The Executive Ocean View (14m²) will suit couples who want more space to rest, travelers who spend more time in the cabin reading or relaxing, travelers who love the subtle details, and those who want a slight upgrade without paying the full price. Amenities include an additional 2m² of storage space, along with stunning views of the bay at a more comfortable height.
The Family Ocean View Room (25m²) is suitable for families with children (maximum of 4 people), small groups of friends travelling together, and multi-generational travellers who want to connect. This spacious design includes both double and single beds, ample storage space for family luggage, and large windows for everyone to enjoy or relax.
Room tip: Cabins on the upper deck have better sunrise/sunset views but can be a little noisier when there are activities on deck. Cabins on the lower deck offer more privacy and quiet but may have partially obstructed views depending on location. Please indicate your preference when booking and our team will arrange the best room for you.
Why book directly instead of through OTAs (Booking.com, Agoda, etc.)?
You will pay the same or lower fees (we offer exclusive direct booking deals), get priority in choosing your room before it is sold out to third parties, communicate directly with our team (no middleman delays), be flexible with special requests and adjustments, and your payment will go straight to Viet Sails.
Booking process (takes 5-7 minutes):
– Go to vietsails.com and navigate to reservation→ Select your itinerary (2 days 1 night or 3 days 2 nights)

Within 24 hours of your booking, our Reservations Team emails with a welcome message and confirms your preferences. This is when you finalize additional services like adding pick-up location, dietary requirements, special occasions or other requests.
Dietary Requirements:
Viet Sails’ chef accommodates vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free, halal, kosher (with advance notice), and specific allergies (shellfish, nuts, dairy, etc.). Notify us at least 1-2 days before departure so the chef can plan menus and source appropriate ingredients.
Special Occasions:
Celebrating something special? Options include a candlelit birthday cake with orchestra, a champagne and flower room decoration, proposal assistance (we are experienced in creating romantic moments) and bespoke wedding arrangements. Please mention your special offer when booking and our team will coordinate the details. There will be an additional charge, but we guarantee it will not cost too much for a memorable experience.
Other Requests:
Need to check in early? Want to know the exact location of your cabin? Are you traveling with older family members and need a ground floor cabin? Or do you have mobility issues? Let us know any concerns before booking and we will do our best to accommodate.
One week before departure, you’ll receive a comprehensive email containing exact pickup time and location, final payment reminder if balance outstanding, crew contact number for day-of communication, and important reminders (passport requirement, etc.).
What to bring: Valid passport (required for harbor registration), cash in VND and USD (for tips, drinks, souvenir purchases at floating village), sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, swimwear, light jacket for evenings, and camera/phone with waterproof case. The detailed recommendation of packing guide has already been available in our separate blog post.
Final balance payment: Due 7 days before departure via bank transfer or credit card. You’re fully confirmed after paying and set to sail.
Day of departure: Be ready at the pickup location 10 minutes early.
Best Rate Guarantee: Our direct prices are equal to or lower than any third-party platform. If you find a lower actual price elsewhere for the same room class and travel dates, we will beat it. Furthermore, we regularly have exclusive direct booking promotions (10% early bird discount, free transfers, room upgrades) that are not available through online travel agencies (OTAs).
Priority Everything: Direct bookings have priority in selecting rooms before they are sent to the agent. Special requests (dietary, celebrations, specific room locations) are processed immediately. Amendments and changes to flight dates are processed faster.
Flexible Policies: Our cancellation and rescheduling terms are reasonable (free cancellation 21+ days out, graduated fees closer to departure). Direct bookings allow easier modifications than third-party bookings locked into platform policies.
24/7 Support: From booking to boarding, our team is here to help. WhatsApp our dedicated cruise line for direct support. Emails are typically responded to within 2-4 hours. You’ll never have to deal with an automated system or offshore call center.
Booking a cruise should be fun, not stressful. Our goal is to make the booking process as smooth and transparent as the cruise itself — clear pricing, direct communication, and attentive care from inquiry to departure. Many travelers have trusted Viet Sails to make their dream of exploring Bai Tu Long Bay come true. Reviews, rebookings, and referrals show we’re doing it right. Now it’s your turn to experience why.
