The Halong Bay day cruise overnight combo pairs Sea Lion’s day cruise (Day 1) with Cozy Bay Grand’s overnight cruise (Days 2–3) — covering two different bay routes, capturing both sunset and sunrise, and delivering the complete Halong Bay experience at roughly $200–$300 per person total.
Essentials:
- Duration: 3 days / 2 nights in Ha Long area
- Day 1: Sea Lion day cruise ($49–$64) — Ti Top, Sung Sot, Luon Cave, Jacuzzi, sunset
- Days 2–3: Cozy Bay Grand overnight ($139–$240) — different route, cabin, sunrise
- Total cost: $188–$304/person
- Why combo: Different routes = no repeated sites. Get both Jacuzzi (day-only) + sunrise (overnight-only)

⚓ Insider Note: Stay one night in Ha Long City between the two cruises. This avoids the 5-hour round trip to Hanoi between cruises. Budget hotels near Sun World Marina start at $15/night. Book both cruises through Cozy Vietnam Travel and ask for the combo arrangement — they’ll coordinate transfers so you don’t need to arrange anything yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the combo bookable as one package?
Contact Cozy Vietnam Travel via WhatsApp +84 981 886 155 to book both cruises together. They coordinate transfers between Sea Lion disembarkation and Cozy Bay Grand boarding. Not a fixed package but easily arranged as one booking.
Will I see the same sites on both cruises?
No. Sea Lion and Cozy Bay Grand operate on different bay routes. You’ll visit different caves, islands, and bay sections — maximizing your coverage of Halong Bay’s 1,600+ karst formations.
Can I do the combo in reverse order?
Yes. Overnight first (Days 1–2), then Sea Lion day cruise (Day 3). The order doesn’t affect the experience. However, ending with the Sea Lion sunset party is a more dramatic finale.
