What Makes Amanda Cruise Different

Sung Sot Cave and Ti Top Island on Day 1

Many budget ships save the famous caves for a short morning visit. Amanda Cruise reaches Sung Sot Cave at 14:00 and Ti Top Island at 16:00 on the first afternoon, so you see both without rushing.

A modern steel ship with jacuzzi and spa at a budget price

Launched in 2022, the ship is newer than most budget boats and has a jacuzzi, a two-room spa and a sundeck used for the gala dinner.

Vietnamese culture after dinner

Evenings include a herbal foot bath, bamboo dancing and an ethnic costume show, which most budget cruises do not offer.

Who Amanda Cruise Is Best For

Book it if you are

  • On your first Halong Bay trip and want the classic sights
  • A family needing connecting Junior or Senior Suites
  • Looking for a newer ship at a budget price
  • Interested in Vietnamese culture shows on board

Amanda Cruise vs Similar Budget Cruises

Cruise Route Cabins Signature Budget
Amanda Cruise Halong Bay 25 Sung Sot + Ti Top on Day 1, jacuzzi Value
Milalux Cruise Halong–Lan Ha 20 Balcony in every cabin Mid-range
La Pandora Boutique Lan Ha Bay 12 Small boat, shuttle included Mid-range
Signature Cruise Bai Tu Long Bay 12 Jacuzzi bathtub in every cabin Premium

Our view: Amanda Cruise is the best value for first-timers who want the classic caves on a newer ship. Pick Milalux if a balcony matters more than the ship’s age.

Not to be confused with

Amanda Luxury Cruise is the higher-priced Lan Ha Bay sister. The Amanda brand also runs Amanda Premier, Pearl and Legend; on the official site this ship is called Amanda Halong Cruise.

Local Expert Notes from Our Hanoi Team

These tips come from more than a decade of arranging Halong Bay trips for international travellers; ship details are checked against Amanda Cruises’ published 2026 information.

  • Senior Suites (35 m², balcony, bathtub) are the best-value upgrade
  • Sung Sot Cave starts with a stair climb and can be busy; wear trainers and keep up with your guide
  • The Ti Top climb is about 400 steps; bring water
  • Ask us whether Lan Ha kayaking has reopened before booking 3 days
