Greetings, Kim Gon! You can indeed start your cruise on the day you arrive. However, we don't offer a shuttle service from Hai Phong. You'd need a private car, which costs $45 for 2 people. Please let me know how many are in your group to confirm availability. Warm regards,Hanh (Ms.).
Hi Sophie, absolutely! We can arrange vegetarian and vegan meals for you on the cruise, so no worries. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Best, Hanh (Ms.).
Dear Sarah, thrilled about your upcoming trip! Yes, credit card payments are accepted on the boat, though please note bank fees may apply. The cabins are quite spacious, but it's best to limit your luggage to 1 or 2 bags for convenience. If you have any other questions, just ask. Best regards, Hanh (Ms.).
Hello Sunny, thanks for reaching out. The price listed on our website is for two people sharing one cabin. We do not have a nightclub on board, but we do offer a bar. Best regards, Hanh (Ms.).
Greetings Ms. Muni, thank you for your questions. Our cruise only offers vegetarian food and does not provide Halal meals. Regarding the shuttle bus service from Indochina sails cruise, it's not included in the cabin cost. An additional charge of $3 per person will be added. Please let me know if you'd like to proceed with us. Kind regards, Hanh (Ms.).
