wait until you get to Hanoi i have taken the cruise before and my advice is to wait until you get to Hanoi before booking the cruise. That way you, you get to talk to all operators and see what their boats actually look like. Remember that most cruise operators offer the same thing...the only difference is the boat and the food!
