Is Halong Bay Cruise suitable for old people?

Question: Hi, my wife and I are considering taking a cruise in Halong Bay. We’re both in our late 60s and are not interested in activities like kayaking, climbing, or snorkeling. Is a Halong Bay cruise suitable for us?

Answer: A typical itinerary for a Halong Bay cruise includes a variety of activities: options such as climbing, kayaking, and snorkeling; sightseeing tours to famous locations like Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave), Floating Fishing Villages, and Pearl Farms; as well as onboard activities like cooking demonstrations and spa treatments. Fortunately, there are many ways to enjoy a Halong Bay cruise at a leisurely pace.

If you’re not interested in kayaking or swimming, you can simply relax on the boat. Enjoy a delightful cocktail, indulge in a massage, or take in the stunning panoramas of the Bay at your own pace. There are often comfortable viewing areas on the boat that allow you to soak in the beauty of the surroundings.

However, it's important to confirm with the cruise company or agent that you can stay on board during the journey, as some cruises may have scheduled activities that require passengers to disembark. Make sure to ask about the specific policies of the cruise you choose to avoid any surprises.
