The Three main differences are the hotel classes and type of boats/junks in Halong Bay. Everything else will be at the great quality.

For hotels:

Standard means a tour is priced with lower priced room at a hotel, normally with economy class or 2 stars hotels. Please do not expect too much at the 2 stars hotels in this third world.

First & Superior means to be an inclusion of a hotel from 3-4 stars, this is a good hotel with a range of facilities and good service.

Deluxe price is inclusive with high quality four and five-star Vietnam hotels – with the best equipped and appointed units in a hotel you will enjoy in our tours.

Green Trail Tours suggests using hotels First, Superior, since this is also a good way to save but make your stay relaxing more comfortable.

For boats/junks in Halong Bay:
There are some main differences on the boat/junk types as the following;

Space on the boat, with the standard one - you would have to expect small size boat, from your bedroom to the sun deck, whilst the First, Superior & Deluxe class will have larger sized dining area that is warm and cozy, more importantly with comfort in your cabins (larger bed, bigger glassed window) as well as the sunbath area (with comfortable chairs)

Toilet & shower on boat/junk, if you wish to have comfort in your privacy, Standard boat will not be a choice since the toilet is normally outside (shared bathrooms), while Superior will offer this and you will even find it better at Deluxe class.

Facilities on the First, Superior and Deluxe boat are up-to-date international standard, good air-conditioning in the cabin, fine toilet facilities whilst there is normally a fan in the cabin at the standard boat.

Well trained, devoted and courtesy staff will always make your stay unforgettable on the Superior and Deluxe junk.
