We booked a day cruise (La Casta) through TTTG travels. I was in touch with Sophie for this trip. She helped find the right cruise, book transfer from Haiphong airport and guided us throughout the trip. Her constant assistance came particularly handy as it was raining continuously and there was uncertainty regarding whether the cruise would sail. Kudos!
It took me quite a while to make a decision but we made the best one. With Rosie’s help at TTTG Travel, we chose La Casta Day cruise.
It was perfect for our day trip for our family. We experienced a comfy limousine transfer from Hanoi, La Casta ship was modern and luxe with jacuzzi! The seafood buffet was delicious. Price was very competitive and was Drinks were all Extras. All.the staff on board were so hospitable. We saw all the highlights at Sung sot cave, kayaking at Luon Cave & swimming at Titov Island . We loved our day trip. Rosie at TTTG Travel was very helpful, tentative and communicated via WhatsApp about all.details and answered all questions. Highly recommend this day cruise for a Ha Long Bay.
Lan Ha Bay was very nice. The staff went above and beyond to make the best trip. Food was yummy. Beverage was a bit pricey. Overall, we had a great time on the boat. Thank you so much.
My girlfriend and I had 1 night on La Casta Regal. Food was great. The girl cruise manager was very talented and caring. We will come back soon.
Clean ship and cabin. Staff on board is all friendly and nice. The cruise manager did a great job. Buffet dinner needs more selections. Thank you for the service and memorable experience.
