    Dong made our trip on the ship a really great one. La Pandora Cruise is a great choice. Everything was great: the service, the rooms, the food, the activities, etc.

  2. Ruben D

    We had a great time on the La Casta Cruise Halong Bay. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Dong gave the best comfort and services. Thank you so much for this wonderful time.

  3. payal m

    From the beginning to the end, Dong was a great host. He took care of everything we needed and was always there to help. His excitement is contagious, and it’s clear that he loves what he does. We didn’t know how to thank him enough. The service was great, and I would suggest it to anyone.

  4. vinod P

    The cruise through Halong Bay was such a nice treat. I didn’t know what to expect, but the end result was great! The rooms were very big and clean, the food was delicious, and the staff was all very skilled at what they did. Mr. Lam did his best to keep me and my travelling partners entertained, and I’m looking forward to a longer cruise in the future.

The cruise would be back to the port at 11:30. It then take 3 hours to get back to Hanoi airport & 45 mins to get to Hai Phong airport. As a results, we strongly suggest:

  • Flight from Cat Bi Airport (Hai Phong City): After 2pm
  • Flight from Noi Bai Airport (Hanoi City): After 5pm
5. What should I pack for the cruise ?

When packing for Cruise, the most important items to bring are comfortable clothing, swimwear, and sunscreen. If you travel during winter months (November to Feb), you may also need to pack a light jacket or sweater to keep warm during cooler evenings.

 Typically, each cruise provides 1 – 2 bottles of water for free every day, and you will not be allowed to bring your own drinks. So, if you want to stay hydrated, bring some money (the drinks on board are a little pricy)

It is also recommended that you bring a camera or smartphone with enough of storage capacity for photos and videos in order to make the most of your trip. Prepare some waterproof protection for them, as you will be doing a lot of water-based activities.

Finally, remember to bring any medications or toiletries you might need while away from home.
