    1 night stay

    We had a wonderful one‑night stay on Amanda Luxury Cruises and it exceeded our expectations. The boat was beautifully maintained, comfortable, and felt very luxurious despite the short stay. Everything was well organised from start to finish. A special thank you to David, who hosted us so warmly and professionally. David was attentive, friendly, and made sure we felt genuinely welcome throughout the experience. It’s clear they take great pride in what they do, and it really showed. Highly recommend Amanda Luxury Cruises for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable experience — even for just one night.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback We are so happy that you enjoyed the Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

    Amanda Cruises are low end and do not recommend

    We booked the 3 day/2 night cruise. Our experience on the Amanda boat called Halong Bay Dragon was very disappointing. The ship was run down, the food (other than the first meal) was low quality, the rooms were quite small, and the crew captain and head of activities lacked customer service skills. The first day we were taken to an overcrowded commercial facility for kayaking that belongs in Disneyland and then we were taken to an overcrowded cave where we waited on line for at least 40 minutes to enter the cave. Unbeknownst to us we were the only passengers booked for 2 nights. On our second day we were moved to a day cruise ship while the Dragon returned to the harbor to reload. The other ship called something like Sunny Cruises was great and we visited uncrowded areas to swim and boat. Then we unfortunately returned to the Amanda Dragon for our dinner and second night. There have got to be better choices to experience Halong Bay than the Amanda cruise line. For the price we paid, the value was very lacking.

    Response from the operator: Dear reviewers, We are so sorry about your experience in Halong We had checked and did not find your name on our booking list You did not experience our service Please help us check with your supplier to leave a right review Best regards, Luong

    Disappointing tour in Halong Bay

    There are certainly better tours in the beautiful Halong Bay. Posituv was certainly the very friendly staff. The buffet for lunch and brunch was good and at least in parts Vietnamese. Dinner was Western oriented (with mashed potatoes!), very bad (so it wasn't a pity that the portions were so small) and served extremely hectic. You had the impression that you wanted to dump everyone as soon as possible. The program was very minimalist, limited to what was necessary. There are definitely more interesting caves like the Hospital Cave. Due to the long tender boat service, the sailing time on the ship was also very short compared to other tours. Therefore not recommended.

    Response from the operator: Dear reviewers, We are so sorry about your experience in Halong We had checked and did not find your name on our booking list Please help us check with your supplier to leave a right review Best regards, Luong

    Viator is a thief!!!

    I booked, paid & had confirmed an executive suite. I then changed it to a twin bed room. However, i was not reimbursed the difference in cost. You still owe me!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback, Fiona Underwood Let me explain: you booked an executive room - a room class with a balcony We asked you to advise if you take a double room or a twin room - type of room. You confirmed a twin room and we arranged it for you So bassically we arrange the correct room class with the type of room you requested. We do not owe you. And each room is for 2 - 3 pax, if you want 2 single rooms for 2, you will pay extra for single supplement. But you just paid a room for 2. I contacted you and confirmed you that already. Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

    Total disaster

    Even if it was appearing as available on Viator, I received a message 2 hours after having paid telling me the tour was complete. I had to argue during 1 hour to receive a complete refund. Viator wanted only provide me a 50%. I had a similar experience just before also with Viator, and also concerning a Halong Bay tour. These tours on Halong Bay are not reliable.

    Response from the operator: Dear Leopoldo Mayordomo, We got your booking at the last minute for 3 pax for 3 day - 2 night boat trip. We just contacted you right away to inform you the boat was not available and we cancelled and refunded for you. We requested Vitaor the 100% refund for you from our side. 50% refund is not right. Please contact Viator directly to ask the full refund. We will ask them again from our side too. Thanks, Luong

    Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

    How much does Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $235 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 Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour?

    +

    Around 3 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour 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.

    What is included in Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour?

    +

    Included: Entrance fees for sightseeing in itinenary; English-speaking tour guide; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Beverages, Personal Expenses, Tips for guide/driver/crew. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 586 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Amanda Cruise Luxury Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay 2 Days Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
