overcrowded poor quality food. the bay is very polluted
we booked the 3 day cruise including transport. cruise line admitted the overlooked our transport and the had to arrange a taxi from Ninh Binh to ensure we arrived on time. the food was all pre cooked and pre prepared and was not fresh . everything was extra . if you wanted water when eating this was extra high cost. tea/coffee was extra. the boat and rooms were very dated. the staff appear to be on commission for selling drinks. if you take a bottle alcohol from mainland on board they charge an additional surcharge of 500,000 Vnd . all cruise boats are docked Ti top island. we counted 54 boats anchored near us overnight

My friends and I from work had an amazing time on the Verdure Lotus Luxury cruise in Ha Long Bay. It's a great choice if you're looking for a luxurious yet relaxing cruise experience while also having the chance to explore the breathtaking natural beauty of Ha Long Bay. Highlights of the cruise: Friendly and professional service: The staff on board was very attentive and always ready to assist. The atmosphere on the boat was very relaxing and comfortable. Spacious and well-equipped rooms: The cabins are designed beautifully, spacious, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. Most rooms have large windows offering fantastic views of the bay, perfect for relaxation. Onboard activities: The cruise offers a variety of enjoyable activities such as kayaking and swimming. We also had the chance to explore some islands and caves around Ha Long Bay, which was really exciting. Delicious meals: The food was great, especially the fresh seafood. Dining on board was a pleasant experience, with a comfortable setting to enjoy our meals after a day of exploration. Overall, we had a very relaxing and memorable trip. The Verdure Lotus Luxury cruise provided us with a wonderful experience with its elegant atmosphere, professional service, and fun activities. It’s definitely a great choice for anyone looking to explore Ha Long Bay in a peaceful and luxurious setting. I would definitely come back if given the chance!

We had a fantastic time onboard the cruise, the staff is very welcoming and we got the best suite on the cruise. Good food good music and breath taking views of Halong Bay. It would be great if the management provides complimentary water on board as it was amusing to find out the one needs to pay for it. Overall a wonderful experience!

A beautiful boat in a beautiful bay with some unfortunate flaws which could be fixed
The ship and the bay are both beautiful but you’ll need to be able to look beyond all of the trash floating in the bay unfortunately. We enjoyed the ship, the food was nice and it was amazing to have a private patio in our room. Also, the activity schedule was a nice addition. The things that had me feeling this was a less than 5 star experience were firstly that our room was a bit dirty when we arrived, used towels hanging in the bathroom and a sink and toilet that had obviously not been wiped down yet at the end of our overnight visit we were charged 90,000 dong for getting some makeup on a pillowcase. Also, the staff was kind but not very attentive.. often on their phones. The squid fishing came with no instruction, or the foot soak, or tai chi, it felt a little strange. And be prepared to spend more than double the in city prices for drinks. We spend 1.4 million dong ($100usd) for a bottle of cheap white wine.
Response from the operator: Dear Aubree, Thank you for sharing your experience on the Le Journey cruise. We had checked and we did not got your booking on our list. Please check with the supplier you booked and leave a right feedback to them Best regards, Luong

Wonderful cruise experience
We went on the cruise for one full day and night. The rooms were just superb. I have experienced crises in many countries but nothing to beat this luxury cruise. Based on the past experiences, we were expecting the rooms to be smaller; however they turned out to be bigger like a five star hotel! They were very plush too. The best aspect was the balcony of the room. We sat there for a long time, experiencing the ocean and the breeze. We felt as if the time should remain still now. The room toilets were also quite specious and clean. Sitting on the deck was yet another wonderful experience. There was an artificial lawn spread across and had cozy sofas for relaxing. I still remember watching the sunset sitting on the deck. Food was okay not great, but workable. Only one area where I would suggest an improvement was their stingy behaviour for very insignificant things. For example there were only two coffee sachets in the room and we wanted two more; however the same was revised. Overall experience on the cruise was great
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback We are so happy that you enjoyed the Le Journey Luxury Cruise Halong Bay Overnight Cruise from Hanoi Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Verdure Lotus Luxury Cruise Halong Bay - Lan Ha Bay from HANOI: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ha Long Bay.
How much does Verdure Lotus Luxury Cruise Halong Bay - Lan Ha Bay from HANOI cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ha Long Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Verdure Lotus Luxury Cruise Halong Bay - Lan Ha 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 Ha Long Bay is not rushed.
Is Verdure Lotus Luxury Cruise Halong Bay - Lan Ha Bay 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 (3.8/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Ha Long Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Verdure Lotus Luxury Cruise Halong Bay - Lan Ha Bay from HANOI?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Verdure Lotus Luxury Cruise Halong Bay - Lan Ha Bay from HANOI suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. 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 Verdure Lotus Luxury Cruise Halong Bay - Lan Ha Bay from HANOI?
+
Around 8 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 Ha Long Bay 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 Ha Long Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Verdure Lotus Luxury Cruise Halong Bay - Lan Ha 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 Ha Long Bay 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 Ha Long Bay?
+
On Outty we rank every Ha Long Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All Inclusive 2 Days Halong Bay & Lan Ha Bay on Au Co cruise, Top Tier: Overnight Ha Long Bay Cruise 5-Star, Balcony Cabin-2D1N, All inclusive Bhaya 2-Day Halong Bay 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 Ha Long Bay?
+
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 Ha Long Bay?
+
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.
