Would there be any last-minute departures available on Dec 31 or Jan 1? Also on the site it says accommodations are not included, is that the case? If they are included please do share which hotel and also with type of cruise/cabin is included?!

It's only included 1 night on cruise in Halong Bay - Cozy Bay Cruise. Hotel in Hanoi is not included. Yes. It's still available for 2 people.

Is it possible to provide information of the hotel / cruise that we will be staying in?

This package only includes 1 night accommodation on cruise and normally I work with Cozy Bay Cruise. Hotels are not included.

  Traveler•Written December 2022
  Can you please specify which cabin type is included? Also what is included on Day 4 for Ninh Binh Tour? Transport? Any acitivites? Which meals are included? Is there any breakfast included?
- Old Quarter TravelOperator•Written December 2022
  For 2 people, it will be a double/twin cabin. For Ninh Binh Tour, it's all included tour, just except Drinks & Tips. Normally I would recommend to do Hoa Lu - Trang An - Mua Cave tour. You will have time to visit Hoa Lu ancient temples, do boat trip in Trang An, take photo of panorama view from Mua Cave View point and short cycling trip along rice field and river. 1 Lunch is included for Ninh Binh Day Trip and 2 Lunches, 1 Dinner, 1 Breakfast are included for Halong Bay 2D1N Cruise.

  On the cruise are there different cabin types to choose from? Does the cabin - that is included - have a window?
- Old Quarter TravelOperator•Written December 2022
  There are only Double Bed or Twin Beds cabin, and there is only cabin on 1st floor. And yes, cabin includes window, but no balcony. This package is for 3-star services so the cruise is also 3-star only, not a luxury one.
