Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay 3 Day Cruise - The views were breathtaking! LaCasta Cruise ship was clean and the staffs were very friendly and attentive. The foods provided during the 3 day cruise were delicious. We were very pleased. They even went above and beyond and surprised me with a birthday cake. They even sang to me too! THANK YOU. The ticket booking process from the bus pickup from our hotel was flawless. IVY assisted us with preparation of the trip. She provided us detailed instructions and information about our cruise ship . She also made my hotel search in HaNoi easier by providing me the vicinity where the bus pick up would be. Thank you IVY and your team for your great customer service.

Fun & Relaxing time at Lan Ha Bay - The cruise was a wonderful and relaxing experience during our trip to Vietnam. Ivy was so helpful with getting all of our information sorted and setting up our transportation from Hanoi to the coast. She was very responsive and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend doing the 3 day/2 night stay because there are many activities and it would probably feel a bit rushed if you were only on board for 2 days. The staff on the boat were friendly and accommodating. The food was good and our cabins were comfortable. Overall a great few days spent out on the water with some amazing adventures!

Amazing time! - The trip was amazing, I can't recommend it enough. The food was fantastic! If you're interested in doing the cruise, we would highly suggest doing the 2 nights to ensure you have enough time to enjoy the boat. Our room (bed sheets, towels, etc) was really clean but we did feel the boat itself was getting a little old. Our bathroom blind was a little mouldy, and the doors would jammed as they had been warped by the sea air. Just to stress that these were little things, and we had an incredible time.

Great 3 day/2 night cruise in Ha Long Bay - A very well organized trip! With the kind and informative help of Ivy at the travel agent, we booked the transfer from Hanoi and were picked up as agreed. The drive to the harbour at HaLong was very comfortable and only took about 2 hours with a break in the middle. The cruise itself was amazing with attentive staff and good food for all meals. The activities on board were very well planned and gave us enough time to see the sights, kayak or swim. Especially the full second day on the day boat was really nice and we got a lot of sunshine that day! Comfortable cabins and yummy drinks in the happy hour. The return trip was also easy with pickup from the harbour and information sent from Ivy on WhatsApp a couple hours before so we were prepared! Thanks for a great trip!

Wonderful cruise but dirty Halong Bay - The cruise and staff deserves a 5 Star rating . The cruise was well organized from beginning to end. Our cabin was clean and comfortable. The food was excellent and the staff attentive and friendly at all times. On a different note I would like to add how disappointed I was seeing all the rubbish floating along our cruise through Halong Bay, I have never seen so much trash in the ocean . I would like to urge all tour companies and the government of Vietnam to do something about the pollution of this magnificent landscape, otherwise it will no longer be a tourist attraction!

Room for improvement. It is a geological wonder of the world that is falling victim to mass tourism. - Crowded, the name cruise is misleading. You pick up your boat in Ha Long port and motor for 45 mins and then moor up surrounded by 70 other boats. From there you are taken to a near by island to sit on a beach with thousands of other people. The cruise is neither luxurious or exclusive. There is minimal safety breifing and no sharing of information about a Unesco World heritage site. The tour companies are just taking advantage of tourists in an almost factory like way. I would not recommend this cruise. I feel like I was ripped off. It was meant to be a 3 day two night cruise but it is more like a 2 day two night cruise. The third day you are in harbour and off the boat before 10:30am. The crew only really start to pay attention to you once you complain to the tour manger about the non existsnt service. Luxury cruise but takes traking down 3 crew members at 5pm for a refreshing beverage and waiting 30minutes even though you are at the bar. Other passenges and ourselves were agog at the barman siting in a swing chair on his phone until you approached him for a drink. Not what we perseved as Luxury cruise. On our day trip a couple were left behind. The boat had to turn around and go back for them. The plastic and rubbbish in the sea is heart breaking. Such an awe inspiring geological wonder but the sea is full of plastic waste, pearl farm debris and huge polystyrene boxes, just floating past as you kayak around the area. I think with some small tweaks things could be much much improved.
