Excellent cruise - 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.

2 Nights Experience + Tips - 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 - 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

Nice trip with many tourists - The trip was nice. The boats would need a renovation and in the halong bay urgently needs to be picked up the garbage

A Great Experience – Especially for Families with Babies! - 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!

Awesome three night cruise - 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.

Great cruise experience - 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

Do not book here! Worse experience we had in all of SE Asia - In one sentence: we hated our experience, there’s some false advertisement, it’s not worth the price and the staff is rude. A longer, explained version: I’ll start with the absolute worse part of our trip: the boat manager. In general, the staff speaks no English, is rude, and seems very very young. On our last day, there was a misunderstanding with the itinerary, so we wrote to the booking company to explain the situation and ask for more information, because we were confused. The result: the manager on the boat came to see us, unannounced while we were playing cards on the sun deck, surrounded by other guests and starting yelling at us. Accusing us of being wrong, of lying, of not listening, saying “well you should just be the guide”. To give context of how unacceptable it was: we are two women, sitting at a table, playing cards. This grown adult man was raising his voice, standing above my friend, his hand on the back of her chair. You can understand that he is towering over her, a few inches from her face. In NO context is that acceptable. EVEN IF let’s say we were in the wrong. More than once did we ask him if he can lower his voice and that he didn’t need to yell at us. We told him, more than once, that we are not angry with him, so why is he so angry at us and can’t have a regular conversation We already were having a very mediocre experience and this just completely ruined it. You could pay me and I wouldn’t set foot on that boat again. Only after speaking with the booking company did he ask to speak with us (hours later) to “apologize”. After this “apology” he asked to take a video of us saying “thank you, we enjoyed our trip”. How manipulative and fake is that? On a more general note, right from the start, when we got to our room, we noticed the AC made a loud noise, the telephone didn’t work and our mini fridge was empty and not cold. When we asked staff about it, they said we can just order drinks at reception. But the prices of the mini fridge are cheaper, so their only solution was to pay more, at reception. This also meant we could never just have cold drinking water in our room. This is not a CRUISE. We do not cruise. The boat drives somewhere and is parked in the exact same spot for 3 days. Same view for 3 days. Surrounded by other boats. There is barely any food for the breakfast and lunch brunch. They say breakfast is from 6:30-7:30. We arrived at 7 and there was no food left. None. When we asked staff, she said “do you want a piece of bread”. I did not pay 400$+ for a piece of bread. The “sunset party” is non existent. Music stops at around 8:30-9:00pm while we hear all the other boats still playing music. The music in the dining area doesn’t work. So we get 10 seconds of a song, then it pauses for 1 min. This was ongoing for the entirety of the meals. At this point, just don’t play music. There is no wifi. When I asked a staff for the password, he just laughed and told me it doesn’t work. Just don’t advertise wifi at this point. Itinerary is super confusing and when we spoke to other guests, they were just as confused. They described it as “being thrown all over the place with no information”. There is a huge lack of communication between all organizing parties: the booking company, the boat manager and the staff on deck. We never got the same information from either one of them. We payed over 800$ for two, which is absolutely ridiculous considering what we had and what we did. It is not worth it, please please please put your money elsewhere.
