Amazing time!!
My family and I (group of 7) booked this cruise and had an amazing experience. The staff were very attentive throughout the entire time. We did stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and swimming near the cruise ship on the first day. On the second day we went to the cave and saw monkeys! Later that day we went by speed boat to Cat Ba island where we had a bike ride, local lunch, and time to swim at a private beach. The food and drinks on the cruise were top notch. Overall very pleased with the experience. Don’t hesitate to book— we’ll worth the money given all the food/drinks, excursions and cleanliness of the ship!

Worth Going Once
I booked a solo trip on the AClass Legend ship, but was "upgraded" the day before I left to the Stellar ship. Not a big deal as it didn't cost me anything. I suspect they were trying to keep the ships as full as economically feasible given the shortage of tourists the last couple months. It worked to our benefit though as the ship was only half full both nights! Pick up went smoothly and it took about 4 hours with a pit-stop in between. Once on board, lunch was served as we headed out to the bay. The food was plentiful the whole time, if not excessive, but very delicious and never the same. Having never been on any other cruise, I have no complaints about the cabins, even though it was small, but what do you expect on a ship? The excursions were a mix of good and uneventful. On the 2 night tour, you have an additional day of activities, but honestly, I could have done without the activities themselves and just stayed on the ship relaxing. The Fishing Village included kayaking or a boat trip around the inlet. It was interesting to see, but very underwhelming and not worth the visit. We also visited a Pearl Farm, which was boring- you took a 15 minute tour on how they make pearls and then they put you in a showroom to get you to buy the pearls. Also not worth it in my opinion. Back on the ship, there was quite a few hours of downtime each night, which is nice, but the drink prices are pretty steep for Vietnam ($7USD for a cocktail, $3USD for beer). Not a huge deal, but they add up quick. Especially since they charge for breakfast juices and any coffee / tea at dinners. I also was on a ship with a crowd that didn't really mingle, so there wasn't much for a "party" at night. Everyone kept to themselves and on their phones. Kind of a dull two nights as a solo traveller, but that of course isn't the ships fault. Overall, I am glad that I booked this specific ship and I would recommend it to others. Everything was clean, staff very friendly, and I had a good experience. I do want to note that Ha Long Bay is dirty, there is garbage everywhere. It's very sad to see all the oil residue and trash in the ocean and unfortunately I don't think it's from the tourists. There's also SOOO many boats, large and small, that there is just so much air pollution and noise all the time. I wish that these tour companies would start stepping up and making environmental changes to the way they operate otherwise this beautiful landscape is going to be wrecked.

Stellar cruise
We took a three day two night cruise on the A Class Stellar. The sights of Ha-Long Bay are fabulous, but there are a number of watch-outs for the cruise itself. We actually booked a different boat but were 'Upgraded' to the Stellar. It seems most people on the trip had the same experience. I have a theory on this - the Stellar is expensive. We had no choice but to upgrade as our original boat was allegedly 'under repair', so it was do that or don't do it at all. You have to pay for every possible drink, even tea or coffee or plain water with meals is extra ($3 tea and $4 coffee). Yes, they tell you in the introduction that drinks are extra but any normal person would take that to be bar drinks. At breakfast you also pay $4 for a juice. None of this was really clear until we got the big bill at checkout. As for the trip, three days it isn't. Day one starts around 12.30 and on day three you're back in the dock by around 10.00. You then spend an hour and a half on the boat doing a cooking class (why?) and eating a very early lunch so they can get you off the boat and load up the next lot of people. So really you're only looking at around a day and a half of actual Ha Long bay viewing. Food on the boat was excellent but excessive. It would have been better to provide less food and include a drink. I don't eat fish and the crew were very good at providing alternatives. Lunch on day one was served as soon as we got on the boat, which meant that you're stuck in the dining room while you cruise out for your first experience of the bay. Trips out from the boat were great, but they will be the same as you get on other cruises. Our room was comfortable and quiet, though the bathroom was a bit of a squeeze. Overall, as you can probably tell, Ha Long Bay is a wonderful place well worth visiting and a must see for any traveller. Just be careful who you travel with and prepare to be ripped off for your drinks.

Halong Bay 3Days/2Night on 4 Star Cruise All included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Halong Bay 3Days/2Night on 4 Star Cruise All included cost?
+
Prices start at $560 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 3Days/2Night on 4 Star Cruise All included take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 3Days/2Night on 4 Star Cruise All included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Halong Bay 3Days/2Night on 4 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 3Days/2Night on 4 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 72-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Halong Bay 3Days/2Night on 4 Star Cruise All included?
+
Around 1 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Halong Bay 3Days/2Night on 4 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.
