6. Best Time to Take a Halong Bay Cruise

The ideal time to experience a Halong Bay cruise is from September to April of the following year. During this period, the weather is pleasantly cool with minimal rainfall and clear blue skies - perfect for sightseeing and participating in outdoor activities such as kayaking or watching the sunset from the deck.
If you plan to travel during the summer months (May to August), it’s advisable to check the weather forecast before your trip, as this season may bring heavy rains or storms. However, one advantage is that cruise prices are often more attractive, with many promotions available. With proper preparation, summer can still offer a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a luxurious getaway on the bay.
A 2-day, 1-night 5-star cruise on Halong Bay is not just a trip - it’s a premium escape that delights all the senses.
