    La Casta Cruise of HaLong Bay

    A good way to see Ha Long Bay from Hanoi. Pleasant cruising on the bays. Food was good. As advertised. Bus stops to/from are a bit of a tourist trap trying to sell you pearl jewelry or statues/art but are Vietnamese.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback, Sandra Overstreet We are so happy that you enjoyed the La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

    Lovely trip on La Casta Regal - bring own entertainment for evening!!

    The pickup was straightforward and the bus transfer very comfortable. When on board the buffet lunch and the dinner were amazing. Lots of seafood and plenty of other choices too. We tried out the jacuzzi at the back of the boat after a trip in a kayak to some caves. We also sampled some spring roll making and squid fishing. The sunset party was a little disappointing, as we were largely left to ourselves. There were many different nationalities on board so it wasn't too easy to mingle. However, once I hijacked the Bluetooth speaker and played some of my spotify tunes, all 6 of us on the top deck had a bit of a boogie. There was even karaoke in the dining room, but none of this had been advertised, so again, there were only about 10 of us doing this. All music and drinks stopped at 10pm unfortunately. We did have an amazing room at the front of the boat (La Casta Regal), and the breakfast buffet was again amazing. The staff were thoroughly amazing and couldn't have been more helpful and were lovely. I suspect they rely heavily on tips, but this wasn't really put across to us, so they tip box didn't have much in it sadly!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback We are so happy that you enjoyed the La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

    Nothing 5 star about it!

    We stayed overnight frm 9/6 to 10/6 & were a group of 11 PPL including family and friends. Firstly, we had requested veg.food for 7ppl & the veg food was french fries, fruits & salad! Poor. Secondly, they took us only for 1 excursion to a beach for swimming & kayaking - no visit to any caves or some high view pt. The cookery class & fishing activity is a sham & laughable. Most importantly, after check out in the ship, our group of 11 (we are frm India) were told to board a boat for return to shore, we thought others would also come but none came & the boat started. The boat carried the luggage of all passengers & it was non-ac & very slow. When we reached shore we saw all other passengers deboarding a ac fast ship. When we complained to the co. Official about the reason why we were sent in the luggage boat - the reply was that there was not enough room. Now, if this is not racial discrimination - what is?? As we were the only brown people among all. Our bus which was to take us back to our Hanoi hotel & is arranged by the cruise company came after 15-20 minutes after all others had left!We paid the same money as others then also we were made to feel as if we were freeloaders! I would strongly suggest people from India & neighbouring countries to avoid this cruise & avoid being humiliated after paying a high price for this so called "5 star cruise".

    Fabulous !!! La Casta

    La Casta was a great cruise experience for us. Everything was of supreme quality. The food was delicious and since I am a vegetarian, they made sure special arrangements were made for me. The staff Lucky was very polite and helpful. Dong helped us on the cruise with our arrangements. Overall it was a experience. Must do when in Hanoi.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much

    La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night 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 La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night 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 La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night?

    +

    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 La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night 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 La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night?

    +

    Around 5 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 La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night 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 La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night?

    +

    Included: Luxury Cabin with Private seaview balcony & en-suite bathroom; English Speaking Guide/Cruise Manager onboard; Outdoor Jacuzzi + Night Squid Fishing + Morning Taichi Class; Entrance Fees for Sightseeing mentioned in itinenary; and Lunch. Not included: Beveragees, Personal expense, Tip and Insurrance; and Holiday Surcharge. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 721 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night 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 La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night?

    +

    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 La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night 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.

    What happens to La Casta Cruise - 5 Star Luxury HALONG & LAN HA BAY - 2Day/1Night if the weather is bad?
