Amazing Sea Star cruise
We boarded the cruise for 1 night and everything was just perfect. This is the last night and also the best of our trip in Vietnam and the most memorable experience for our 3 weeks of travel. This cruise has all we could ask for and expect. Cruise staff offered the best service they could ever do. Highly recommend this cruise to everybody traveling to Halong Bay.

Avoid, avoid, avoid!
HORRIBLE experience! This product is sold by a third party company, not the cruise company itself (Le journey are great, excelent staff on boat and conditioins on the cruise), which ruined our honeymoon vacation for days ahead! First, the ricket you buy is by a eeaeller and with tiny letters is written that they can change the cruiae pick up location. We were in the area and booked a hotel the previoua night close to the pick up, both mentioned in Viatour and our ticket. The PREVIOUS NIGHT! (imagine if we didn't have internet or WhatsApp to get the news, beign foreign in an unknown country) weote to me on WhatsApp (also very professional) with the notification that the pick up location is different,sending us a pin on some island in Halong bay, titally different than the oroginal one, half an hour with a car, where there is no public transportation. Like mentioned we expected to go straight from the hotel to the port, and asked them to at least pick us up, becauae it was already late evening and ceuiae starts the next day morning. The operator wrote to manage ourselves, usually they have only clients from Hanoi arriving with bus, so they dont know ehat to do with people like us, waiting on the spot (?!?). Also another thing to understand was that the additional payment, which is some government tax dor the night -700K/person, excluded in the trip price, was to be payed cash. Lovely to hear at 23h the previous evenning when there are no normal comission atms around, so we had to wake up even earlier next morning and aearch for that as well..... Fast forward, on the pick up we apoke about the whole situation with one of the managers, he was totally lost, didn't do anything and resend us to speak with the cruise crew about the issue. We decided to elave the matter until the end of the trip (quite nice experience). On the boat they didn't give us the bill for the 1400K , as we were two people, also when we got off ans asked at the pick up if we had to pay(even tough every normal elrson after such a three day scandal, ruining the whole beautiful experience, would leave) the girl checked in the system and said there is nothing for us. Good, we walked away calmly and now. Two days later i receive a request from the same people that they have missed to bill us to so now, that we are leaving thev ccountry with a big pile of VND cash ,exchanged especially for the cruise,which we now have to change back, again the same story begins: "it is Viator's fault, not ours" etc. when my husband also has listed trips in the platform and we know perfectly well how this can be easily avoided with just having three listings for the different trips, not one! To end: three days im dealing with this already, cauaing my husband and i all kind of unpleasant emotions, so if you are wise, dont ever buy this trip and tell your close ones to avoid!
Response from the operator: A COUPLE OF LIARS. 1, The voucher clearly says: Depend on the cruise you book the start port will be different. You booked hotel and never asked us where is the port. Also you have checked the cruise many channels to see it cheapest here. Totally a liar as you just want us to pay taxi for you to get to the port which we denied. It is written in your VIATOR TICKET SO YOU FAILED TO SEE IT THEN IT WAS YOUR MISTAKE NOT US. 2. We told you prepare the entrance fee 700k cash or credit card +3.5% bank fee. You chose to do cash to save money then you had to find your way to get cash. Cheaper means inconvenient. 3. A Good person never left without paying when the cruise staff got 30 others to care at the same time. You drove straight away when you left the boat and nobody could find. You come to the restaurant and had a coffee, staff was not there and you just left quickly without paying then it was the problem of the restaurant? 4. We contacted you to get you pay but you denied. The staff tried to call but you also did not accept the call. 5. TO NOW THIS CUSTOMER STILL NOT PAID 1.400.000d (56$) and we have to report it to the police. TO READERS AND CLIENTS - IF YOU WANT TO STEAL OR RIP OFF LOCAL COMPANIES - YOU SHOULD AVOID US.

1 night cruise selection over Halong, Bai Tu Long or Lan Ha Bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does 1 night cruise selection over Halong, Bai Tu Long or Lan Ha Bay cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 night cruise selection over Halong, Bai Tu Long or Lan Ha Bay take?
+
Plan for about 23 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is 1 night cruise selection over Halong, Bai Tu Long or Lan Ha Bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 night cruise selection over Halong, Bai Tu Long or Lan Ha Bay?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 night cruise selection over Halong, Bai Tu Long or Lan Ha Bay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 23-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 night cruise selection over Halong, Bai Tu Long or Lan Ha Bay?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 23-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 night cruise selection over Halong, Bai Tu Long or Lan Ha Bay start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
