Weather-related Policy
All overnight cruises in Ha Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and Bai Tu Long Bay require official permission from the Bay Management Authority to stay overnight.
If adverse weather (storms, strong winds, high waves, etc.) occurs, the Authority will suspend overnight operations to ensure safety. In such cases, Sundara Vietnam will:
-
Assist with rescheduling to another available date that suits your itinerary, or
-
Provide a refund if rescheduling is not possible.
For specific cases, please contact us for personalized support and guidance.

The Authority may issue cancellation notices on very short notice, sometimes even when guests are already on tour. From August–October, weather is more unpredictable and late announcements are more likely.
In all cases, please contact Sundara Vietnam staff immediately. We will always do our utmost to provide the most suitable solution and ensure your satisfaction.
