Ireland"Nice cruise with best service ever"
Ha Long is one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Memorable experience with the La Casta ship. I love Vietnamese food, especially pho cuon. Shout out to chef Quan who helped us to make some local cuisine. Vietnamese coffee is so good.
Hoffman
United Kingdom"First trip in Vietnam after covid 19 pandemic"
We had a long journey in Asia and Vietnam was the final stop. Ha Long Bay was the best destination, a beautiful sea with islands, mountains and clear blue water. The rooms were comfortable and the staff on board were very friendly. The manager spoke good English and gave us a lot of support. We will definitely be back next time.

United States"Recommended but one night is quite short for throughout excursions"
We took the 2d1n cruise but this time amount at Halong Bay is not enough, we feel like just scratches the surface. Nonetheless, if you don't have much time, this trip is certainly worth taking. It brings you to all the highlighted sites in this charming bay. We will come back if any chance to join a longer journey.

South Africa"Incredible! The trip worth every penny and I will suggest it for anyone"
Going on a Halong Bay cruise is one of my best experiences in Vietnam. It might be a full-day or overnight trip. We did the 2-day tour because we only had two days to travel, and we had a fantastic time.
Our tour guide was fantastic and kept us amused throughout. The view was really stunning. We had a great time kayaking as well. Very recommended
John
United States"many thanks to La Casta and Halong Bay Cruise Deals for a great tour"
This lovely cruise and the thoughtful services added to the joy of our 15th anniversary. The room was clean and cozy. They also adorned our accommodation with swans and roses for our anniversary... But the itinerary was quite tight so we didn't stay in the room much. Halong Bay is truly a gem.
btw, the absence of complementary water bottles on board is the only complaint.
Chelo
Spain"Fabulous design with wood furniture. Thanks the staff for making the trip perfect"
The view of Halong bay was breathtaking. If you take this journey, be sure to get a suite with a balcony so you can appreciate the exclusive vistas that cant be not be able to experience with other cabin classes.
Dong and the rest of the crew were fantastic and kind.
I also appreciated the meals; even though I'm picky about eating, the cuisine satisfied me.
