Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Unlike standard cave visits that focus purely on rock formations, the Military Hospital Cave (Hang Quân Y) is an extraordinary 17-room secret medical facility built inside a hollow limestone cliff during the Vietnam War. Included in both the 2D1N and 3D2N packages, this site offers guests an authentic historical encounter, transforming a scenic bay cruise into a memorable cultural journey guided by knowledgeable local experts.
Yes, Aqua Of The Seas is one of the few boutique vessels in Lan Ha Bay equipped with an onboard elevator connecting guest decks. This feature allows older travelers and guests with limited mobility to move effortlessly between their suites, the main LUX Restaurant, spa facilities, and the top sundeck without navigating steep staircases; for land tours, Dr. Son & Team arrange for your private guide to pace excursions comfortably.
Occupying a premium position at the bow of the 3rd deck, the 80m² King Suite Terrace represents the pinnacle of spatial luxury onboard. It features an exclusive private sun terrace equipped with lounge beds, a King-size bed, an ocean-view bathtub, and floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass walls, delivering complete privacy and unobstructed views of the limestone karsts.
The temperature-controlled four-season swimming pool on the deck and the sundeck mini-golf green are open to all guests for exclusive leisure throughout the voyage. The pool provides a warm, controlled aquatic alternative for non-swimmers who prefer not to kayak in open sea waters, and Dr. Son & Team can help coordinate early morning golf equipment access or organize private family relaxation slots upon request.
On Day 2 of the 3D2N voyage, guests explore Viet Hai Village nestled inside Cat Ba National Park. Travelers can choose between a scenic bicycle ride along green valley trails or a comfortable open-air electric cart, ensuring an authentic cultural visit, local home interaction, and fish foot massage experience accessible for all fitness levels without physical exertion.
Simply inform us of your dietary requirements during booking, and Dr. Son & Team will coordinate directly with the cruise culinary crew prior to departure to request appropriate meal adjustments based on onboard kitchen capabilities. The culinary team strives to adapt menus to accommodate vegan, vegetarian, Halal-friendly, or allergy-sensitive guests with advance notice.
The Triple Connecting Suite (60m²) on the 1st and 2nd decks is specifically configured for family travel, featuring two interconnecting rooms equipped with 1 double bed plus 1 twin bed. This layout provides a secure, spacious, and premium environment where parents and children can stay close together while enjoying separate private bathroom spaces.
Your primary luggage remains completely secure inside your original luxury suite onboard Aqua Of The Seas throughout the multi-day trip. Guests only carry a light daypack with swimwear, walking shoes, sun protection, and cameras onto the day boat for the excursion to Viet Hai Village and Ba Trai Dao beach, returning to their same room in the afternoon.

The inclusion of the Military Hospital Cave is a brilliant idea. It sets this cruise apart from others that only focus on scenery. The ship is stable, and the Junior Suite was much larger and more elegant than pictured.

The sunset party with drinks and music while floating among limestone mountains is a core memory now. The cooking class was fun, and I finally learned how to roll a proper spring roll!
The Triple Connecting Suite was a lifesaver for our group of four. The ship’s capacity is perfect—not too crowded, ensuring that the service feels personalized and genuine.
