Experience ruined
Unfortunately our cruise was ruined by a group of French and Australian boys who became excessively drunk, and made noise outside our room until 4am. Going outside my cabin to confront 4 drunk boys at 4 am is not my idea of 5 star luxury! Also not ideal when travelling with 3 children. The actions of the staff on board, to continually sell alcohol to these idiots while clearly hammered, was very irresponsible. We did not feel safe as a result. Rita Cruise needs to decide if it is a party boat or a family friendly experience, it can’t be both. HaLong Bay is well worth a visit and there are plenty of ships to choose from, I wouldn’t recommend Rita, unless they change their policy around alcohol and are more supportive of families.
Response from the operator: Dear reviewers, Thank you for your feedback with details We are so sorry about your experience in Halong We had checked and did not find your name on our booking list. We will check with the crew and contact you to take care the service Please help us contact back also Best regards, Luong

Excellent stay
Really enjoyed our 1 night cruise with Rita. The boat was well designed and the room was very comfortable, the jacuzzi and balcony were especially nice. Stella, our host, was exceptional! She was very attentive and smiley, she made the whole experience really great. Thank you Stella! The food was very delicious, buffet breakfast and lunches, plenty of variety. The evening meal was a 5 course set menu. As seafood lovers this was fantastic. We would definitely recommend to others :)

RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY from HANOI: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY from HANOI cost?
+
Prices start at $269 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 RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY from HANOI 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 RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY from HANOI worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY 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 RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY from HANOI 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 RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY from HANOI?
+
Around 11 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 RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY 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.
What is included in RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY from HANOI?
+
Included: English Speaking Guide/Cruise Manager onboard; Limousine Transfer Roundtrip Hanoi – Halong by Expressway; Lunch; Entrance fees & Activities as Program; and Dinner. Not included: Beverages, Personal Expenses, Tips for CREWS/GUIDE/DRIVER; and Holiday surcharge. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY from HANOI 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 RITA CRUISE - LUXURY 5 STAR CRUISE in HALONG BAY from HANOI offered in?

+
