    A nice cruise

    Halong Bay is very beautiful. The ship we traveled on was really well kept. It was clean and tidy. The bedroom cabins were great. The mattress was perfect. The ensuite was very good. The food was buffet style and was pretty good. The drinks were very expensive. I would have thought the ship would have traveled to more areas. It seemed to go to one area and then stayed there for most of the cruise

    You need to relook your pricing again and compare with the service that you give

    I’m sorry but I’ll be very honest in here. It’s very overpriced. No guide at the beginning, we were so lost, no idea what we should do, how long is the trip to the harbour, and when we did some stops the driver was having difficulty to speak to us in English. And you’ll only be in the cruise for 24 hours, and all the activities were so rushing. I can’t really relax to enjoy them. The food was not the best either, they’re all a bit cold and also the worst part was the dinner, one waitress served the 1st appetizer, 5 mins later the other waitress came and served the 2nd appetizer, and less then 5 mins came the 3rd one and so on until the 5th one. And the waitress will keep coming every minutes to ask if we’re finished with the food, like we were in an eating competition or something. Lastly, the arrangement for the drop off was super chaotic and the guide was not the nice one, he was quite rude to everyone for the attitude, and he has a really bad body odor. And can’t get even worse, he didn’t even ask me where I’d stop (I thought the guide in the cruise already asked me and confirmed so I didn’t bother why the guide in the bus didn’t ask me or confirm with me), after they dropped 90% of the passengers, he came to me and asked me where I’d want to stop, and after I told him the address, he just asked me to get out of the bus for the next stop, and that was 30 mins walk from my hotel. So I won’t recommend this cruise trip to any of my friends. Though I met a lot of lovely people there during the trip!

    Amazing

    The agency Viet Lux Travel has a Wonderful staff. Rosy and Loan, they are open to help you with everything you need, also they are very kind and professional. The trip was really nice, we had two lunch, one breakfast and one dinner . We went to different paces and we did kayaking. I will totally recommend to everyone.

    Halong Bay 2D1N with serenity cruise

    Love the ship! The cabins were comfortable, clean and they had a balcony which we enjoyed the amazing view. Food wasn’t as amazing but acceptable. Activities planned was ok. Just that the days we went the weather wasn’t good and we managed to kayak through one cave instead of 3, cause the tides were too high. We were not able to do snorkel as well. Squid fishing was pretty fun.

    Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay 2D1N on 5-star Cruises: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay 2D1N on 5-star Cruises cost?

    +

    Prices start at $154 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 Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay 2D1N on 5-star Cruises 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 Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay 2D1N on 5-star Cruises worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay 2D1N on 5-star Cruises?

    +

    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 Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay 2D1N on 5-star Cruises 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 Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay 2D1N on 5-star Cruises?

    +

    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 Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay 2D1N on 5-star Cruises 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 Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. 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.
