Calista Cruise, officially launching in March 2025, is a luxurious new way to experience the timeless beauty of Halong Bay. Named after Calista, the Greek goddess of beauty, the cruise honors Halong Bay not only as a stunning destination but as a living story – a place where nature’s grandeur and rich cultural history come together. With its elegant design and exceptional service, Calista Cruise Halong offers an unforgettable journey through this UNESCO World Heritage site, inviting guests to explore both its natural wonders and the legends that have shaped it for centuries.

What to check about Calista Cruise 2 days 1 night

Calista Cruise 2 days 1 night is listed as a two-day, one-night cruise with a route covering Sung Sot, Ti top island, Luon Cave in the Ha Long Bay region. The schedule on a product page is a planning reference, not confirmation that all stops operate on your departure. Read our guide to Sung Sot Cave and the classic Ha Long circuit to understand the differences. The listed cave and island stops may involve walking, steps or a small transfer boat. Check the final operating itinerary.

What the overnight stay adds

A cabin night gives more time on the water, a boat-based evening and a morning departure from the bay rather than the same-day return to Hanoi. The older product highlights mention onboard leisure and sightseeing; ask whether each option is offered on your actual sailing, whether it is included, and whether weather, age or equipment rules apply.

For families and senior travellers, verify boarding stairs, the cabin’s deck, the bed layout, any tender transfer and any child-occupancy limits. The Vietnam Story cabin guide explains why a room name or luxury rating alone is not enough to select the right boat.

Prices, transfers and dietary requirements

  • Hanoi pickup: The published Exclusions mention the road transfer; obtain a separate transfer quote and pickup point.
  • Cabin and extras: The price table in Tour Notes contains figures that have not been reconfirmed for your travel dates. Do not treat them as a current offer. Confirm the exact cabin, taxes, port fees, drinks and any holiday surcharge in writing.
  • Meals: send Indian vegetarian, Jain or allergy-specific requirements separately. A standard vegetarian menu does not guarantee strict Jain preparation.
  • Weather and cancellations: request the supplier’s conditions for an itinerary change, port closure or cancellation.

Ask Vietnam Story for a date-specific sailing quote: Share your India departure city, travel dates, number and ages of guests, preferred rooms, hotel transfer needs and food restrictions. We can compare this vessel with Ha Long Bay cruise options and incorporate it into a Vietnam tour package if suitable. Only the confirmed proposal defines what is included.

Aussies in Vietnam this is our 5th TAD adventure. When booking you know where you are going but from experience we know it’s the Tour Leader that will make or break the trip. Tom greeted us and started with setting up a What’s App, a great idea, it is more than just helpful, it brings the team together, sharing & caring. it didn’t take long for everyone to jump onboard adding info, asking questions and adding /sharing photos. Tom sorted our rooms, handed out our keys, had Water everyday, paid ahead for entry to excursion destinations, organised for laundry etc which certainly ment less headaches for everyone ( upgrade) Organising the bus to save walking or taxi/uber ride (upgrade) With Tom’s wide smile, warm personality & good English we knew we were in good hands, always happy to help out and deal with our issues (they happen) As a tour leader we rate him AAA. If every tour guide followed his lead they would be a winner for their company & everyone taking their tour Thank you Tom for making our trip so enjoyable and stress free Sharon & Matt 🙏🫶

Great experience 5 Stars – Excellent Tours and Wonderful Guides! We had an absolutely fantastic experience during our recent visit to Hanoi, Vietnam! We booked two private tours, and both exceeded our expectations. A very special thank you to our wonderful tour guides, Hung and Cathy, who made our time in Vietnam truly memorable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and beauty of their country. Everything was exceptionally well organized, and the attention to detail throughout both tours was outstanding. Our guides went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable, enjoying themselves, and getting the most out of each experience. We especially appreciated their warm hospitality, flexibility, and willingness to answer all our questions. Their enthusiasm and personal touches made the tours even more enjoyable. Vietnam is a beautiful country with amazing people, and Hung and Cathy were wonderful ambassadors for it. We cannot thank the entire team enough for making our visit so special. We highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Vietnam and would absolutely book with them again! Thank you, Hung and Cathy, for the wonderful memories and exceptional hospitality!

A Wonderful and Memorable Vietnam Trip! 🇻🇳 Thanks to Nina We had a wonderful time exploring Vietnam, and the entire trip was smooth and well organised. Staying in Hanoi’s Old Quarter was a great experience, and we really enjoyed exploring the beautiful landscapes of Ninh Binh and taking the boat ride through Trang An. The highlight of our trip was the overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay. The stunning scenery, peaceful overnight stay, and morning kayaking made it a truly memorable experience. The limousine transfers were also comfortable and hassle-free throughout the trip. A special thanks to Nina for helping customise our itinerary and patiently answering all my questions from day one. Her support and guidance made the planning process much easier and gave us confidence before the trip. Overall, everything went smoothly, and we returned home with lots of beautiful memories. Thanks to Nina and the entire team for making our Vietnam trip such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. 😊❤️

An Excellent Guide – Thank You, Hai Nguyen! An Excellent Guide – Thank You, Hai Nguyen! Hai Nguyen made our Vietnam trip truly memorable! He was punctual, friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout our time with him. He explained everything so well that we could appreciate not just the places we visited, but also the culture and stories behind them. What touched me most was his willingness to go the extra mile. At Mua Cave, he patiently helped me climb the steps and encouraged me along the way. He also helped us take lovely photographs, assisted us with shopping, and took us to a place selling beautiful bamboo products. His suggestions to visit the night market and take an evening walk around the lake added some wonderful experiences to our trip that we might otherwise have missed. Hai was always considerate, and attentive to our needs. His warmth and genuine helpfulness made us feel comfortable and well looked after. It is these little gestures and personal touches that make a trip memorable, and Hai certainly made a difference to ours. Thank you, Hai, for your kindness, patience, and for helping us create such lovely memories in Vietnam. We are so glad we had you as our guide and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone visiting Vietnam. You made our trip extra special!
