Travel Tips for Cruise Tours in Vietnam
- Opt for a longer cruise in Ha Long Bay for a peaceful getaway. As shorter cruises generally stay closer to the ports, there will be many boats and tourists around.
- Check if your transfer fee is included in your Vietnam cruise trip, as a lot of shore excursions do not account for the cost of transfer from your location to the port.
- Bring plenty of mosquito repellent if you are in the Mekong Delta. With all the vibrant nature and tropical conditions, mosquitos are common.
- Consider choosing a traditional junk boat for cruising in Ha Long Bay or to the local islands. It is a more traditional way of traveling and the best way to experience Vietnamese history and culture as you cruise.
- Choose guided Vietnam cruise tours, where your local guides will show you the points of interest and educate you about their significance.
