Never regret booking Orchid Premium. Only 5 cabins were perfect for a Halong bay trip. The staff offered personalized service. The meals were great. The room was clean and had all things we needed. Highly recommend!

Asked by Stephanie Yong · 1 year ago
I have 10 people in my party. We will need 5 rooms and am interested in 2day/1night itinerary. I am hesitant to book at this point because of the weather and the boat accident that recently happened. What are your weather policies. We will be in Ha noi area from Aug 10-16, 2025. Ideally we cruise Aug 10 but could also make Aug 11, Aug 13 or Aug 15 work. Please let me know you policies and availability. Thank You
1 answerAAnswered by Annie · 1 year ago
Dear Stephanie Yong, I understand your concerns regarding the weather and the recent boat accident. Actually such occurrences are rare, as Halong Bay is typically calm and sheltered by its many mountains. In the event of storms or monsoons with strong winds, the Halong Bay Board Management suspends all tours for safety. The recent incident was due to a sudden thunderstorm that unexpectedly happened. Please find our policy in case of bad weather and the tours are cancelled as follows:
