Weather-related Policy
Note: All overnight cruises in Ha Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and Bai Tu Long Bay must obtain official permission from the Bay Management Authority to stay overnight on the bay.
In the event of adverse weather conditions (storms, strong winds, high waves, etc.), the Bay Management Authority will suspend all overnight cruise operations to ensure the safety of travelers.In such cases, Sundara Vietnam will offer the following options:
- Assist with rescheduling to another available date that suits your itinerary.
- Or provide a refund if rescheduling is not possible.

Important Note
The Bay Management Authority often issues overnight cancellation notices at very short notice. This may result in situations where guests are already on tour when the cancellation is announced. We kindly ask for your understanding in such circumstances. During the period of August to October, the weather in Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay can be highly unpredictable. As a result, overnight cruises are more likely to be canceled on short notice, with official announcements often made quite late.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.
