100,000–200,000₫ per person per day into the crew box.

Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay cruise boats almost always have a communal crew tip box, opened at the end of the trip and split between the crew and kitchen. One to two hundred thousand dong per person per day is the usual contribution; guides are tipped separately.

Card tipping is not really a thing in Vietnam. Tip in cash, in dong rather than dollars.
