Frequently Asked Questions

How is Maia Day Cruise different from regular sightseeing ships?

The difference lies in "Time" and "Class". Instead of rushing for 4 hours, Maia designed a 7.5 hour cruise. You will have more time to soak in the Jacuzzi, leisurely enjoy afternoon tea and go deep into the core of Halong Bay without having to "run a show" between attractions.

Should I travel from Hanoi or travel to the pier by myself?

If you are in Hanoi: You should book the company's Limousine. The car picks you up at the Old Quarter at 06:45, runs extremely smoothly on Highway 5B, only takes more than 2 hours to arrive.

If you are already in Halong: Please be present at Box 35, Tuan Chau International Marina before 09:45 to check-in procedures.

Are there any activities on board for children and elderly guests?

Maia Day Cruise is very "pampering" for all ages:

Young people: Kayak at Luon Cave, climb Ti Top peak "virtual life" or check-in at the Jacuzzi on the rooftop.

Older people/Children: You can choose to sit on a bamboo boat (with guests rowing), relax in the cool air-conditioned glass restaurant, or enjoy the view from the spacious sundeck.

What's special about the buffet menu on board? Is there vegetarian food?

Maia's buffet focuses on fresh seafood from Halong Bay and traditional Vietnamese dishes (don't miss the "legendary" fried spring rolls).

Note: If you are vegetarian, allergic to seafood or have a special diet, please notify yourself at least 24 hours before departure. The culinary team will prepare a personal menu for you at no additional charge.

Do I need to bring swimsuits and towels?

Yes! You will need swimsuits to use the Jacuzzi or swim at Ti Top Island. On board there is a luxurious bathroom and toilet area for you to change clothes comfortably. Towels will be provided on board.

A little "unstable": Is the wifi on the train strong?

I'll be honest: Between Halong's waves and dense limestone islands, Wifi will never be as strong as at home.
The waves will waver when the boat goes deep into the cave. This is a great opportunity for you to temporarily leave your phone and truly connect with nature (but don't worry, when the boat returns to shore, you can upload photos right away).

If the weather is bad, will the trip be canceled?

Your safety comes first. If Bay Management stops issuing permits due to storms or high winds:

You will receive a 100% refund or change your departure date (depending on conditions).

If the ship has departed and has to return early due to an emergency, the airline will charge you based on the services you actually used.

Does Maia Day Cruise allow single-use plastic items?

Absolutely not. To protect green heritage, say no to plastic bottles and plastic bags. Please bring your own water bottle or use glass bottled water provided on the boat.
