Important Notes:

PROGRAMS & SCHEDULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE

ABOUT NEW ITINERARY: Halong Bay Board of Management has been moved most of the local families living on floating villages into land and implemented relocating the floating villages based on a certain pattern. The movement and relocation process has made a lot of effect on Halong seascape such as leaving much floating garbage and construction materials.

Therefore, Starlight cruise changed itinerary of 2 days 1 night and 3 days 2 nights tour con-temporarily from Jun 25, 2014. The new itinerary will not go to floating villages. Please contact us for more details about new itinerary.

Cancellation due to bad weather conditions in Halong Bay:

The cancellation is announced ONLY by the Management Board of Halong Bay and often in short notice of time. Therefore your understandings in these situations are highly appreciated.

The period from May to July is considered as storm weather in Halong Bay with many unpredictable weather conditions. Hence more cruises will be cancelled with short notice during this season.
