Asked by Joey Nguyen · 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Is the Signature Royal cruise still operating? Looking to book for Nov 4 but some sites seems to say it's not available or no longer operating? Also, can we get dropped off at Hanoi airport as part of the free shuttle?
1 answerAAnswered by Melissa · 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Hi Joey, Yes, the Royal Signature Cruise is operating. We can certainly book for November 4th. For the shuttle service, the free service is no longer included and instead we have reduced the cruise price so travelers can have the flexibility of arranging one's own transfer if preferred. In case you return to the airport you can book a private car for 110USD/car. Warm Regards, Melissa

Asked by Vijay Babu · 1 year, 2 months ago
I see that round trip pickup is free from Hanoi. We want pick up from Hanoi and drop at Cat Bi International Airport at Hai Phong. Will this also be within the free services?
1 answerAAnswered by Iris · 1 year, 2 months ago
Dear Vijay Babu, Please be advised that the Athena Royal Cruise offers a complimentary round-trip shuttle service between Hanoi and the cruise port. While pick-up from Hanoi is included, drop-off at Cat Bi International Airport in Hai Phong is not covered under the free shuttle service. Should you wish to travel to Cat Bi Airport after the cruise, we would be happy to arrange a private transfer for you at a rate of $40 per car (up to 2 passengers). Kindly let us know if you would like to reserve this service. Sincerely yours, Iris

Asked by Noelle · 1 year, 2 months ago
Hello! I see that in the past you had a Free Shuttle Bus from Hanoi to this cruise, but it is no longer listed as being a free shuttle bus anymore. Has this changed? Will we have to pay for the shuttle bus? How much is it in addition to the room charge? Thanks!
1 answerAAnswered by Tracy · 1 year, 2 months ago
Dear Noelle, I would like to confirm that with the Signature Royal Cruise, we still offer a free shuttle bus from Hanoi to the cruise so there's no need for additional payment, it's already included in the room cost as shown on our website. Kind regards, Tracy.
