Amanda Cruise explores Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay with caves, kayaking, Ti Top Island, meals, activities, and Hanoi transfers.

“One day before the tour booked for Amanda Criuse we were informed about an issue with water leak on the booked boat and re-booked to the Hera Grand Cruise to the same level cabin. To be honest, I didn't belive this reason (iit repeats in many reviews on Tripadvisor) with water leak and more, it was overbooking or something like that but it doesn't matter because the Gera Grand Cruise was really very good for us.

Review of the 2-day Lan Ha and Ha Long Bay cruise from Cat Ba, with kayaking, quiet coves, island stops, meals, cabins, and practical tips.

“The boat we were on was very old and tired and the catering is limited given the cost of the excursion - this is not to take away from the friendly staff who did their best to keep our group active on the water.- In hindsight we would not have booked an overnight cruise but just a day cruise.”

15.2-Day Lan Ha & Halong Bay 5 Stars Cruise with Balcony

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,147 reviews · from $162

Review of a 2-day Lan Ha and Halong Bay cruise from Hanoi, with balcony cabin, kayaking, cave visits, meals, and practical booking tips.

“Mr Lucas was very good to follow-up every aspect of the travel and arranged everything we asked for (also an extra transfer to Hanoi airport). We would recommend the suite upgrade for 10 US$/person: the suites are much more spacier and on the top floor ensuring great views. The food on the cruise was really good and the program fitted us as 2 families with kids 9-15yo very well. The crew was very friendly, happy and service-minded (especially Mr. Dong). All in all a superior experience, which we highly recommend.”
