Everything you need to know about booking and cruising Halong Bay with kids.

Cruising Halong Bay with kids is the topic I get questions about the most. So I figured I'd put together a mini guide on the topic to help you choose the best cruise for your family and know what to expect before booking this experience with your kids!
So I'll start off by saying, we didn't end up on the cruise that we originally booked. We have no idea why, but at the end of the day we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise we went on and I'm sure we would have equally enjoyed the other ship.
Our original cruise was booked with Rosa Cruise and the cruise we ended up one was Dora Cruise. We chose to go with a cruise option that fit our family size and budget, which both of these did that.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience aboard Dora Cruise. The kids particularly loved the on deck spa pool, and there's nothing quite like waking up to views of Halong Bay.
Food & Drink
All meals were included with our cruise, additional drinks were available to purchase.
Activities
There were plenty of things to do onboard and from the cruise, all included.
Kayaking and Swimming in Halong Bay

Optional Cave Tour (in the morning - we chose to stay onboard and relax with the kids)
