A well-organised and unforgettable Vietnam trip with Asiatica Travel and a big thanks to Larissa’s outstanding planning.
We had an amazing experience exploring Vietnam, all thanks to Asiatica Travel and our wonderful tour organiser Larissa. The entire trip was well thought out, smooth, and enjoyable from start to finish. A special thank you to Larissa for her professionalism, care, and attention to detail throughout the planning process. She was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was arranged perfectly for our family. One of the highlights was the excellent cruise selection for Halong Bay – it was absolutely breathtaking and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We felt well taken care of the entire time, and the tour ran seamlessly. If you're planning a trip to Vietnam, we highly recommend Asiatica Travel – and be sure to ask for Larissa. Her passion and dedication made all the difference for us!
Response from the operator: Hello Sandra, Thank you for traveling with Asiatica Travel. We are glad that you had an amazing experience. Thanks again for your recommendation and we are looking forward to welcoming you back soon. Regards,Larissa and Asiatica Travel Team.

Tips to make your journey easy
Tips I wish I knew before we left home... : Money exchange 💱 is daunting 😩 : In small ziplock bags.. separate the money notes ( millions of them 🙄 $1 $20,$50 etc Write on bag the note equivalent in your currency. eg $1 USD = 26,000 dong : Toilet stop charges When traveling on bus or car or limos transport. The convince stops to use toilets, there is a charge!. Have your money ready to give to the person at the toilet entrance, you will get toilet paper and soap ! Tipping Speak to your travel agent about the tipping expectancy for bag service, table service, tour service etc.... Translate app I haven't worked out his to use this yet... But.. Very very handy, most places including Hotels, Spa , restaurants.. English speaking is very limited ! : Always carry back pack with essentials Water, money, address of your Hotel, contact number of your Agent. Reviews Far more valuable then a ' thanks' or tip! Good, bad and orther wise.. Write in ... Help others ! Most of us, I think would have worked and saved up for a trip of a lifetime... Make every moment count. Read the reviews from US the real people 😉 Enjoy your travels... Learn to slow down and enjoy your surroundings, rest up, relax, Be kind 🙏🥰
Response from the operator: Welcome Nicky Mistry, Thank you for traveling with Asiatica Travel. We are glad that you had an amazing experience. Thanks again for your recommendation and we are looking forward to welcoming you back soon. Regards, Larissa and Asiatica Travel Team.

Speechless
It's hard to write this review because it was such a beautiful experience that I don't want to mess anything up in the writing of it. From start to finish, the staff provided a seamless experience. My favorite thing about Stellar is the staff and that the boat has only 22 rooms keeping the journey very personal. MAJOR THANK YOU to our butler Boo! (Everyone gets one!) And the manager Tin! The kindest, most accommodating people we've come across in Vietnam. They made the trip 100% even more amazing. Tin is a jack of all trades with a heart of gold, hopefully he sings for you during the bbq. The itinerary was plentiful but the boat is also so beautiful and serene that it's ok to not do any activities bc you are surrounded by the beauty of Ha Long Bay. Our first night was in the executive suite and it really is gorgeous. Laying on the day beds on the balcony was our favorite. We did the 2 night, 3 day cruise and we honestly felt like we could have done 1 more day. Our second night was in the senior suite bc 2 nights was not avail in the executive suite and it was very nice...but if you can do the executive...please do! All the meals were truly wonderful. They keep the food coming. The meal during the Cat Ba island tour was superb! We loved seeing the small beach on Cat Ba. Everything was timed nicely. We met some great people on board too. You are in luck if you are booking now bc they've just added a satellite so you will have good wifi all day and all night. Book this cruise, you will not regret it. I was teary eyed arriving to the boat and teary eyed leaving it. No pictures I provide will do the experience justice, just GO. I would love to go back one day. Thank you from Adriana and Cody xoxoxo.

Disappointing
I have heard and read so much about a cruise along Halong Bay. I can tell you it is not worth the money and effort. It is a beautiful place that is spoiled by diesel fuel, trash in the water and overuse. The boat we were on is part of the the La Regina, which I thought was one boat, but there are MANY by the same name. The service was bad, the rooms on the boat were poor, and the food was just so-so. I think this is what comes of too many people wanting to see the same thing. It was cheesy.

Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included cost?
+
Prices start at $291 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 Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included 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 Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 36 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 Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included?
+
Around 13 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 Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included 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 Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included?
+
Included: Pick up & Drop off at hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter. Not included: Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included 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 Halong Bay 2Days/1Night on 5 Star Cruise all included?
