FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Officially launched in 2024, The Halong Catamaran 2 features an advanced 40-meter double-hull steel structure meeting high Western maritime standards. Its wide twin-hull design provides exceptional stability, dramatically reducing sway and anti-seasickness concerns while creating expansive deck spaces for dining, sunbathing, and direct-to-sea water sports for up to 99 guests.
At the tranquil Frog Pond (Ao Ếch) in Lan Ha Bay, guests enjoy an array of interactive water activities. You can slide directly into the emerald ocean via the onboard giant water slide, jump on the ocean water trampoline, swim on floating mats, or self-paddle a 2-person kayak surrounded by quiet limestone peaks.
Yes. Guests can explore Dark & Bright Cave (Hang Sáng Tối) by self-paddling a kayak or riding a traditional bamboo boat rowed by authentic local villagers. Gliding through stalactite arches into a serene, cliff-enclosed lagoon, this activity takes place on calm waters and is completely safe for non-swimmers, senior travelers, and young children.
Yes. The Outdoor Jacuzzi on the spacious main deck is complimentary and accessible to all guests throughout the sailing, being especially popular during the afternoon Sunset Ceremony. We strongly recommend bringing swimwear, an extra set of dry clothes, a lightweight towel, sunscreen, and sunglasses to enjoy the Jacuzzi, water slide, and swimming options.
The lunch format is tailored to guest volume: an expansive international seafood buffet is provided for groups over 50 passengers, while a refined multi-course gourmet set menu is served for smaller groups under 50 guests. For travelers requiring Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal, or allergy-sensitive options, Dr. Son & Team coordinate with the onboard chef in advance to ensure dedicated, safe meals are served.
As the catamaran sails back toward Tuan Chau Marina, guests participate in an interactive onboard Cooking Demonstration to learn how to prepare traditional Vietnamese fresh summer rolls. This is followed by a relaxed Sunset Ceremony on the sundeck featuring complimentary Vietnamese teas, fresh seasonal juices, tropical fruits, and local pastries.
It is exceptionally versatile for both. Active travelers and children can kayak, swim, jump on the ocean trampoline, and use the water slide, while senior travelers or guests seeking relaxation can unwind in the luxury Outdoor Jacuzzi, enjoy sunbathing on the sundeck, or take in the scenery from the air-conditioned lounges.
Your tour includes round-trip express highway transfers between Hanoi Old Quarter and Tuan Chau Marina in a modern, luxury Dcar Limousine. Traveling via the expressway takes approximately 2.5 hours each way, including a short comfort stop at a highway station for guest relaxation.
Yes. Suitcases and heavy travel bags can be safely stored in the designated secure luggage compartment aboard Halong Catamaran 2 or kept inside your private transfer vehicle at Tuan Chau Marina.

We found the Halong Catamaran 2 to be the most stable and modern vessel in the bay. Being a double-hull design, there was almost no rocking, which was perfect for my partner who usually gets seasick. The outdoor Jacuzzi was a dream, and the kids spent hours on the water slide and trampoline. It’s a 5-star playground on the water that manages to stay elegant and sophisticated.

Một trải nghiệm thực sự mới lạ với dòng tàu hai thân hiện đại! Tôi thấy tàu Catamaran 2 này có không gian cực kỳ thoáng đãng, thiết kế kiểu châu Âu sang trọng. Gia đình tôi rất thích hoạt động chèo Kayak tại Hang Sáng Tối và sau đó là thư giãn trong bể sục ngay trên tàu. Đồ ăn buffet quốc tế rất phong phú, hải sản tươi và trình bày rất đẹp mắt.

I was impressed by the sheer variety of activities offered in just one day. From the serene bamboo boat ride through the limestone caves to the high-energy water slides at Frog Pond, every hour was filled with joy. The cooking demonstration was a fun cultural touch, and the Sunset Ceremony with local teas and cakes was the perfect, calming end to a thrilling adventure.
A little sad about the bad weather.

The safety briefing was clear, and the hospitality was warm throughout the day. The International Buffet exceeded my expectations with its fusion of flavors. Sitting in the Jacuzzi as the boat glided through the karst formations of Lan Ha Bay was a memory I will never forget.

Chúng tôi rất ấn tượng với lịch trình của Catamaran 2. Tàu đi êm, không gian check-in thì góc nào cũng đẹp, đặc biệt là khu vực lưới nhún và bể sục ngoài trời. Cảm ơn đội ngũ nhân viên đã hỗ trợ nhiệt tình để nhóm bạn mình có một chuyến đi đáng nhớ và nhiều ảnh đẹp.

I found the luxury limousine transfer to be a great start to the day. The modern expressway made the journey quick and comfortable. Once on the catamaran, the spaciousness for only 99 guests made the experience feel very exclusive. Exploring the Dark & Bright Cave was magical, and the water activities at Frog Pond were simply top-tier

Excellent food and top-notch facilities. The water slide directly into the sea is a genius idea! I highly recommend this for anyone looking for fun and luxury.
The selection of Vietnamese teas and seasonal fruits while lounging on the sundeck was so relaxing. The mix of adventure (kayaking) and luxury (Jacuzzi) is perfectly balanced on this cruise. It’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I would do again.

Dịch vụ của Catamaran 2 rất xứng tầm tàu 5 sao mới nhất 2024. Các hoạt động dưới nước như máng trượt và lưới nhún cực kỳ vui, rất phù hợp cho các nhóm bạn trẻ hoặc gia đình có trẻ em. Buffet trưa cũng rất chất lượng, nhiều món Âu Á kết hợp tinh tế.
Giá một số dịch vụ trên tàu như mát xa, bia rượu thì quả thật cao.

최고의 하루였습니다! 2024년에 새로 완공된 배라 그런지 모든 시설이 깨끗하고 현대적이었습니다. 야외 자쿠지에서 칵테일을 마시며 바라본 풍경은 정말 비현실적으로 아름다웠습니다. 워터 슬라이드도 정말 재미있었고 직원들도 친절해서 기분 좋은 여행이었습니다.
