Oasis Bay Party Cruise 2 Days 1 Night – Ha Long Bay Tour

Party cruise energy meets Ha Long Bay scenery. The Oasis Bay Party Cruise is built for younger travelers who want the scenery of Ha Long with group fun, starting with a stop at Ti Top Island and ending with a sunset vibe on the water. It’s scheduled as a 2 days, 1 night sailing with pickup from Hanoi Old Quarter, so you spend less time organizing and more time enjoying.

Two things I really like about this cruise: you get included downtime plus included activities, like kayaking and a jacuzzi, not just a long sit-and-stare boat ride. And I like that the cabin setup is clear and practical, with air conditioning and basic in-cabin treats (water, instant tea/coffee, and a snack).

One consideration: this is a party-leaning style cruise. If you want quiet, sleepy luxury, the party vibe might feel like overkill. Also, the listed price can grow once you add VAT (8% surcharge) and any drinks you buy onboard.

Key highlights

• Newer, social-first vibe on Ha Long Bay for young travelers
• Ti Top Island stop paired with active time in the daytime
• Sundeck time at sunset plus a light sunset party onboard
• Included kayaking and jacuzzi (real activities, not just sightseeing)
• Comfort-focused basics like A/C cabins and in-room water/tea/coffee

Oasis Bay Party Cruise: the tone and who it fits

Ha Long Bay has a way of making everything look cinematic, even when you’re just walking to the bathroom. The Oasis Bay Party Cruise takes that setting and adds something many Ha Long tours skip: a social schedule that’s friendly to groups and solo travelers who don’t want to spend two days talking only to themselves.

This is not the kind of cruise built around hushed, camera-only silence. The whole concept is combining natural views with organized fun, like kayaking, swimming time, beach games such as volleyball, and even more active moments like boat jumping (presented as part of the overall activities offered). If that sounds like your speed, you’ll likely have a great time. If you’re traveling to recharge quietly, you may feel like the energy level is higher than you expected.

Also, the operation caps the group size at a maximum of 50 travelers. That matters. Smaller groups usually feel easier to move around and find your rhythm onboard, especially when you’re swapping between activities and lounging.

Price and value: what $128.70 buys you (and what to watch)

The price is $128.70 per person for a 2-day, 1-night Ha Long Bay experience. On paper, that’s in the “serious but not outrageous” zone for a cruise that includes meals, a cabin, and pickup from Hanoi Old Quarter.

Here’s how the value adds up:

• Pickup and drop-off in Hanoi Old Quarter: you’re saving time and effort versus arranging your own transfers.
• Meals included: breakfast and dinner are included, and the package also lists lunch (2).
• Onboard cabin with air conditioning and basic in-cabin items (water, instant tea/coffee, snack).
• Activities included: kayaking and a jacuzzi are part of what you pay for.

Now the two “value gotchas”:

• VAT is not included: there’s an 8% surcharge.
• Drinks you bring or buy onboard can cost extra, and public holiday pricing can add +$20.

So my practical advice is to treat $128.70 as your starting point, then plan a little buffer for the final math if you’re traveling during VAT-relevant dates or public holidays. If you plan to keep drinks minimal, the cruise can feel like a solid deal for the mix of comfort + included activities.

Getting from Hanoi to Tuan Chau: the day-one pacing

The tour starts with pickup in Hanoi Old Quarter. You’re collected around 08:00 to 08:30. Along the way there’s a short break, and then you arrive at Dock No. 25 of Tuan Chau Harbor around 11:15 to 11:30.

This timing matters because it shapes the whole experience:

• You don’t waste the morning arranging transport.
• You still reach the water before the heat and the day-long crowds tend to feel heavy.
• You get a full day ahead, with sightseeing time and a planned evening return for relaxation.

Once you reach the dock, you transfer to the Oasis cruise for boarding and onboard time. The cruise is set up for a mix of rest and activity, so don’t feel you need to cram everything in right away. Get settled, grab a drink if you want one, and keep your energy for later.

One more practical detail: the tour provides a mobile ticket and you’ll receive confirmation at booking. That reduces stress on the travel day, especially if your Hanoi schedule is already packed.

Ti Top Island: your daytime first act

Ti Top Island is your first major stop. The schedule places you there during the late morning block, after docking at Tuan Chau.

The key point here is simple: this is the part of the day where you move from bus-and-boat travel into “I’m actually in Ha Long Bay” mode. You’re there long enough to look around and enjoy the island setting before the afternoon shifts toward onboard relaxation and evening plans.

Because the tour data doesn’t spell out every minute of what you’ll do on the island, I’d plan for flexibility. Bring swim-ready basics (if you like water time), and keep some room in your schedule for unplanned photo stops. If you’re the type who enjoys short walks and scenic breaks, you’ll probably do well with this stop.

Also, it’s a good moment to decide your cruising style for the rest of the day: will you spend more time in water activities, or more time taking breaks on deck? The cruise later gives you that option again, especially in the evening.

Evening on the Ha Long Bay sundeck: where the party happens

At 17:00, there’s a key transition: it’s time to return to the main cruise. This is framed as a relaxing part of the day, with time for sunbathing on the sundeck. That’s a smart setup. Even a “party cruise” still needs downtime, or people burn out fast.

Then around 18:00 to 19:00, you get a light sunset party served onboard. This is where the social energy shows up in a way that still works for first-timers. You’re not stuck in a loud club setting. You’re on the water, with the sky doing its own show.

What I like about this evening structure is that it fits different travel moods:

• If you’re social, you can join in.
• If you’re tired, you can hang back and still feel included.
• If you’re both, you can do a little of each.

And because there’s a planned overnight area move after dinner time, you can settle in without worrying that the day’s excitement will push too late into the night.

Cabins, A/C, and onboard comfort you actually feel

Sleep quality is a big deal on overnight cruises, and the package details are reassuring. Your cabin includes 2-way air conditioning, and the room is designed for 2 to 3 guests per cabin.

You also get basic onboard comforts:

• 1 bottle of mineral water per person
• instant tea & coffee
• a snack

For solo travelers, the pricing model matters: it’s quoted as a bed in a shared twin cabin. For couples or groups with an even number of guests, you can request a double or twin cabin allocation.

I also want to flag one name you may hear connected to this tour experience: Tina. She’s specifically highlighted as a standout guide name in the provided info, with praise tied to service and being accommodating with dietary needs. If you get her, it’s a good sign you’ll feel cared for rather than rushed through the meal times.

Dinner is included, breakfast is included, and lunch is included twice. That’s not just about calories. It’s about not having to constantly spend time and money hunting food after you’ve already traveled all morning.

Day 2: breakfast, checkout, and an easier return feeling

Day 2 starts with 07:45 to 08:30 rise and breakfast onboard. You’ll get a freshly prepared breakfast with both Vietnamese and Western options, plus tea and coffee during breakfast.

Then the schedule moves to 09:00 to 09:30 for checkout. After that, you’ll be part of the day’s return process, with the full duration listed as about 6 hours for day two.

Here’s what that means for your practical planning: you’re not being pushed into an early wake-up at a time that ruins the rest of your trip. You still get a decent breakfast window, which matters because you likely slept on a boat and you’re about to spend time traveling again.

For the day-two mindset, pack light. You’ll likely bring a small bag onboard for the day, and you won’t want to be wrestling heavy luggage when you’re already managing the checkout flow.

What’s included in the fun (and what to do with it)

The Oasis Bay Party Cruise positions itself as an activity-forward option. From the provided details, here’s what you can expect is truly part of the included experience:

• Kayaking (included)
• Jacuzzi (included)
• Water and play time is part of the activity promise, including swimming and boat jumping (described as part of the broader fun program)
• Beach energy like volleyball on the beach is described as part of the activities
• Plus the social schedule touchpoint: the light sunset party

There’s also a theme of “active with breaks.” You’ll have time to relax and sunbathe, so you’re not stuck in motion constantly.

My best advice: don’t try to do everything. Pick one water activity and one social moment, then treat the rest as optional. This cruise is designed for people to mix and match. If you go all-in on every activity every minute, you’ll end up tired and less likely to enjoy the scenic parts.

Logistics that make or break your experience

A few practical elements make this cruise easier to live with:

• Pickup and drop-off in Hanoi Old Quarter: direct and convenient.
• English speaking tour guide: helpful if you want to ask quick questions rather than guessing all day.
• Maximum 50 travelers: keeps the vibe from turning into a chaotic cattle-boat situation.
• Mobile ticket: less paperwork stress.
• “Requires good weather”: this matters in Ha Long. If conditions are poor, the tour can be rescheduled or refunded.

One more practical note: drinks onboard can cost extra, so if you’re trying to keep the budget clean, set a daily limit. Small purchases add up fast on cruises.

Should you book the Oasis Bay Party Cruise?

Book it if you want a Ha Long cruise that feels more like a social trip than a strict sightseeing circuit. The included mix of meals, a real overnight cabin with A/C, and activity time like kayaking and the jacuzzi makes it more cost-predictable than tours where you pay again and again for basic fun.

I’d skip it or at least reconsider if you’re the quiet-type traveler who wants a calm, low-energy cruise. This one leans party, with organized downtime paired to a sunset party, and it’s designed for younger travelers who want interaction.

If you book, go in with the right mindset: treat it as an active, social way to see Ha Long, not a silent nature retreat. If you do that, you’re much more likely to feel like the $128.70 plus taxes and any extras was money well spent.
