Good to know
- Cruises follow harbour authority weather rules. If the bay is closed for a storm, we move your date or refund in full. Life jackets are on board and the crew gives a safety briefing.
- Night 3 is back in Hanoi so the cruise day starts close to the bay road.
- Fansipan is often in cloud; the cable car runs in most weather.
- Prices are per person in Canadian dollars. Vietnam uses the dong (VND); cards work in most hotels, but bring some cash for markets and tips.
Cancellation
Cancel at least 14 days before arrival for a full refund. Inside that, hotels, boats and transport are committed and we refund whatever our suppliers release, and we show you exactly what that is.
