Ultimate Halong Bay Luxury Cruise: 3-Day All-Inclusive Escape

LaCasta Regal cruise was absolutely brilliant. Glad we did the 3D2N as I think the 2D1N would be too quick. Kayaking was awesome, had a few swims off the boat, and had a bike ride to a local village. Unfortunately, there was no cave as such, just a place you paddled through. The team couldn't do enough for you, and the rooms were great. Massive bed, good aircon, big bathroom with bath (looking out over the bay) and a large balcony. You also won't go hungry. Onboard drinks and cocktails were very reasonable too.

We had an amazing time! The crew was very thoughtful and nice. One of us got sick one day and the crew made sure they were taken care of with hot drinks and food. Kenny was our host and he was friendly and funny and very professional!

Just like the photos! Beautiful ship and room, and the staff were very helpful. Morning tai chi was a highlight, as well as the visit to Viet Hai. Worth it to stay for 2 nights

The views and the service from all the crew was excellent. Communication with Ivy before and during our trip was helpful and she was always smiling. The food was lovely and varied. We would definitely recommend the cruise to others. Internet was an issue though. Our room didn’t have any and we had to go to reception or dining room to access it.

Overall, the experience was amazing. The staff were great, and everything was well organized, which made it easy for us to relax and take in the stunning beauty of Ha Long Bay. If you have specific dietary needs, like avoiding fish or pork, make sure to be clear about that. I said I didn’t eat fish and ended up getting shellfish like squid and clams, which I wasn’t expecting. I probably should’ve just said no seafood altogether so that was my bad. I ended up trying the vegetarian menu and honestly loved it. The tofu dish was full of flavor and way better than I expected. A quick suggestion for the cruise company: maybe hand guests a simple form when they arrive to pick their menu or list foods they’d like to avoid. It would help reduce waste and avoid surprises. When I was shown the menu, the staff only quickly explained the main dish instead of giving me a moment to look through everything properly. If you’re deciding between a one-night or two-night cruise, think about how much time you have in Vietnam and what kind of experience you’re looking for. For us, Day 2 was the best part. We visited a pearl farm, saw how pearls are made (I asked for a walkthrough), kayaked nearby, and explored more of the bay on a smaller boat. It felt quiet and special, with just a small group of us. We even swam in a private spot with no other cruises around before heading back to the main boat. You don’t get any of that with the one-night option, which mainly includes a crowded beach and a packed cave tour. Another tip: some hotels in Hanoi will hold your luggage for you. That’s really useful if you want to pack light for the cruise and pick up your things afterward. Don’t miss the sunset on the first night. It was absolutely beautiful. It was cloudy the second night, so we didn’t get to see it again. Definitely take advantage of it when you can. Overall, having realistic expectations helps a lot. If I could skip the first day’s crowded beach and hike and just do Day 2, I totally would.

Very good experience and service. Was a nice Trip and the staff at the boat was very nice and friednly. Would recommend the 2 nights Tour, 1 night is to short for that amount of travelling there

Such a beautiful and fun time on the cruise! Highly recommend the 3 days to see a lot and not be so rushed as well. Thanks Ivy for helping us along the way!

It’s amazing, relaxing Highly recommended The organizer Ivy helped me a lot with flight delay without taking any money

Our trip to Ha Long Bay was nothing short of spectacular, but what truly made it unforgettable was the incredible hospitality we experienced—especially when it came to our 12-month-old son, Jakob. Traveling with a baby can be challenging, but the team on our cruise went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Every day, they prepared fresh, made-to-order meals specifically for Jakob, ensuring he had nutritious and baby-friendly food. This level of care was something we never expected, and it made the trip so much more enjoyable for us as parents. The staff was not only accommodating but genuinely warm and loving toward him. They played with him, made him laugh, and treated him like a little VIP. A special mention goes to Ivy and team who truly made our stay extra special. Their kindness, attentiveness, and ability to make us feel at home were remarkable. The Vietnamese hospitality, especially towards children, is simply heartwarming, and this trip was a testament to that. If you’re traveling with a baby and unsure about taking a cruise in Ha Long Bay—don’t hesitate! This experience was beyond our expectations, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you to the entire team for making this such a memorable journey!

We had such a great time! Definitely recommend the two night, the second day was by far our favorite. LAN Ha bay is much quieter with less tourists. So much fun kayaking and exploring the caves. The boat was very nice, nice room and the bathtub was unbelievable.
