Booked the tickets for the next day at a cozy travel agency nestled on a bustling street in Hanoi, one day in advance. The package was a steal at just 50 USD per person, including hotel pick-up and drop-off, a sumptuous buffet lunch, and a delightful afternoon tea. It felt like a bargain compared to the prices on online platforms.

We opted for a luxurious 5-star cruise, primarily because it boasted a sparkling pool on board, ensuring the kids would have a place to splash around if they got restless. In the end, our little one was the only one who took a dip, but her joy made the extra cost absolutely worth it 😂

Drinks on the boat were an additional expense and a bit pricier than we expected, but still within a reasonable range. We brought our own water, and no one seemed to mind.






I’ve been considering a similar cruise but wasn’t sure if it was worth the price. Your description makes it sound amazing, especially with the included activities and food—it sounds like a real treat! I’ll definitely keep this travel agency in mind for when I plan my trip.
The pool on the cruise sounds amazing! I bet it made the trip even more enjoyable for families with kids. It’s great that the price included so many perks like lunch and tea. I’d definitely consider this for my next visit to Halong Bay.
