Fantasea 3D2N cruise disappointment ... and not because of the weather.
We did the Fantasea 3D2N cruise. The pick-up in Hanoi was fine and the tour guide was friendly. Halong Bay is beautiful and despite poor weather, we enjoyed a cave visit, a pearl farm and kayaking on the first day. We were disappointed with the 9 cabin boat. Our cabin was so musty, the bedsheets were damp. It was cramped so we had to take it in turns to open our suitcases. More generally, despite the high humidity, air-con was not available until the evening when the generator was put on. Food was fine but there was little to do on board. Staff did not interact much with our small group of 10 people. The lounge area consisted of one L-shaped sofa and a karaoke machine was provided to self-entertain in the evening. Because of an incoming storm, we were told at 7am on day 2 that all boats had to return to port. No one can control the weather, but no assistance was given to get accommodation sorted for that night and when asked if the company would give a part refund for the cancellation, the guide made clear he was not employed by the company and each of us would have to contact our booking agent to sort things out (not an option at 7am on a Saturday morning and a 5 hour time difference). Overall, the most disappointing part of our Vietnam trip.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback I would like to confirm this is a review of the agency, not the customers. You booked Halong Fantasea Cruises - 3 Days 2 Nights Tour From Hanoi for your customers. You were not available during the trip and it was hard to contact you as an agency and you did not provide the customer's contact in advance so that it was hard for us to support them during the trip. Due to the bad weather, it was difficult for us to arrange the service and we had to get back earlier. We informed the customers in advance. We had done a partial refund. Best regards, Luong

A rewarding experience
This is my second visit to Ha Long Bay. I have seen many more things than last time. The boat was comfortable and the food was excellent. The tour guide was very helpful.

We did the 2 night...
We did the 2 night cruise, cannot fault the staff or the boat but we felt like 2 nights and 3 days felt too long. Maybe as the weather wasn’t that great and the group we were with were not that chatty added to that. We were given 3 substantial meals a day and there was a bar to pay for drinks and cocktails too which were good! On the second main day, you actually go on a different boat combined with other cruise people which was good but we didn’t know this was happening.

Amazing trip
Had an amazing time visiting Ha Long Bay on the 3 day/2 night cruise. All our guides and staff were extremely helpful and the whole cruise was well organised. Visited some beautiful locations such as caves, pearl farm and even went kayaking and swimming. Would definitely recommend to visit for anyone.

Halong Fantasea Cruises - 3 Days 2 Nights Tour From Hanoi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Halong Fantasea Cruises - 3 Days 2 Nights Tour From Hanoi 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 Halong Fantasea Cruises - 3 Days 2 Nights Tour From Hanoi 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 Fantasea Cruises - 3 Days 2 Nights Tour From Hanoi 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 food & drink in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Halong Fantasea Cruises - 3 Days 2 Nights Tour From Hanoi?
+
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 Halong Fantasea Cruises - 3 Days 2 Nights Tour From Hanoi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Halong Fantasea Cruises - 3 Days 2 Nights Tour From Hanoi?
+
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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Halong Fantasea Cruises - 3 Days 2 Nights Tour From Hanoi 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.
