Asked by Leonel Cantillo · 4 months ago
Hi guys! I hope you're doing great. I'd like to take round-trip transportation from Hanoi, but on the day we disembark the cruise ship to return to Hanoi, I'll be spending another night in a hotel in Ha Long Bay. My question is: can I take transportation the following day if I go to the port? The cruise is from the 2nd to the 3rd, but I want to return to Hanoi on the 4th.
1 answerAAnswered by Helen · 4 months ago
Dear Leonel, Regarding your transportation, yes, you can take our bus back to Hanoi on the 4th. You will just need to take a taxi from your hotel back to the cruise pier to meet the vehicle. Best regards, Helen

Asked by Jennifer Rae Dobson · 7 months ago
Hello, how safe is it to disembark from a cruise, and depart on an international flight from Hanoi airport at 7pm?
1 answerAAnswered by Helen · 7 months ago
Dear Jennifer Rae Dobson, Generally, it is safe to disembark from the cruise and depart on an international flight from Hanoi at 7:00 PM. The Mon Chéri Cruise returns to the mainland around 11:30 AM, and the transfer to Hanoi Airport takes approximately 2.5 hours. This timeline allows plenty of time to reach the airport well ahead of your flight. Best regards, Helen
