Overview

Royal Cabin is the sleeper cabin coach we book with Nam Ha Son, whose buses run the long Sapa – Vinh – Ha Tinh line. Ninh Binh is a nightly stop on it. The coach carries 21 private cabins — 10 doubles on the lower deck, singles above — each a 90 × 180 cm bed with curtains, blanket and USB charging.

A single cabin is $31; a double for two is $42, $21 a person. The road leg is roughly 400 km and takes 8–9 hours. We confirm every booking directly with Nam Ha Son and send your e-ticket by email.
