Calypso Cruises is a boutique Lan Ha Bay collection operated by Oriental Sails. Each of the two vessels has 20 cabins, giving the trip a more intimate feel than many large overnight ships. This guide summarizes the cabin choices, the operator’s current 2-day and 3-day routes, published reference prices and the details worth confirming before you book.

The steel vessels use a double-bottom, double-side design and have three passenger decks. Onboard highlights include a restaurant, panoramic sundeck, swimming pool/Jacuzzi area, kayaking, a cooking demonstration and morning Tai Chi. Facilities and activities remain subject to weather, safety instructions and the operating schedule.
The operator lists three booking categories: Deluxe Cabin, Deluxe Balcony Cabin and Family Cabin. These are room arrangements within the same 20-cabin inventory; the family option should not be added as eight extra cabins on top of the Deluxe and Balcony stock.
A practical choice for couples or friends, the Deluxe Cabin is approximately 22 m² and accommodates two guests in twin or double bedding. Large windows bring daylight and bay views into the room.
The Balcony category is also approximately 22 m² for two guests and adds a private outdoor space. It suits travelers who value fresh air and unobstructed views from their own cabin.
The Family Cabin is a family-oriented configuration rather than a separate block of additional cabins. Ask Vietpower to confirm the exact connecting arrangement, bed setup and maximum occupancy for your departure, especially when traveling with children.
Cabin assignment is confirmed by category and availability. Deck position, double/twin bedding and extra-bed requests should be written into the booking request rather than assumed.
The official program boards at Tuan Chau around midday and cruises through Ha Long Bay toward Lan Ha Bay. The route can change for weather, tidal conditions, port instructions or other operational reasons.
Important: some older descriptions still name Trung Trang Cave. The operator’s current 2D1N page states that Military Hospital Cave replaced Trung Trang from 10 August 2025. Vietpower will reconfirm the final stop before departure.
The longer program follows the same first day, then adds a full exploration day before the final morning.
The operator currently publishes indicative rates from US$150 per person for 2D1N and US$300 per person for 3D2N, based on double-cabin sharing. These are reference prices, not a permanent Vietpower promotion. The payable price varies by travel date, cabin type, occupancy, child policy, transfer choice and holiday surcharge.
Typical inclusions shown by the operator are onboard accommodation, itinerary meals, entrance fees, scheduled tender transfers, kayaking or bamboo boat, Tai Chi and the cooking demonstration. Drinks, Hanoi transfers, spa treatments and personal expenses are normally excluded unless stated in the final confirmation.
Ask for a written quote showing the cabin category, number of guests, departure date, inclusions, cancellation terms and any surcharge. Vietpower leaves the promotional price field blank unless a genuine, dated promotion is available.
Travelers with limited mobility should ask about tender boarding, island buses, cave steps and the accessibility of their assigned deck. Dietary needs and medical information should be submitted before departure.
Send your travel date, guest ages, preferred cabin and transfer requirement to Vietpower Travel. We will check the live allotment, compare the available cabin categories and reconfirm the operating itinerary before requesting payment.
For the operator’s latest published schedules, see the official Calypso Cruises website. The confirmed voucher and Vietpower booking terms take precedence over general online descriptions.
Each Calypso vessel has 20 cabins. Family arrangements are part of that inventory and should not be counted as extra cabins.
No. US$150 for 2D1N and US$300 for 3D2N are operator-published reference rates. Your final Vietpower quote depends on date, cabin, occupancy and availability.
The operator’s 2D1N page says Military Hospital Cave replaced Trung Trang Cave from 10 August 2025. The final route must still be reconfirmed because operational changes are possible.
