Le staff est particulièrement attentif et agréable. Ambiance friendly et les repas sont bons et copieux
1/ Le circuit croisière de 10km en aller/ retour pour une découverte de la baie n'est vraiment pas à la hauteur des attentes. Le bateau au bout d'une heure a jeté l'encre en fin de matinée pour rentrer le lendemain en début de matinée. 2/ Les activités plage et kayak sont quelconques, seule la cave est intéressante. 3/ Nous avions commandé et payé un transfert en speedboat pour aller le lendemain sur Cat Ba et le matin même nous avons été informé qu'il avait été annulé, que seul le ferry pouvait nous emmener. La raison, mauvaise météo ???? Il faisait meilleur que la veille et tous les bateaux naviguaient !! Cherchez l'erreur ! 4/ la baie est envahie de bateaux, les effluves de gas-oil sont persistantes.
The cleanliness and the staff
Not enough variety of food and the wifi connection is terrible.
An absolutely wonderful team! They didn’t just show us beautiful locations; they were incredibly attentive to our dietary needs and made sure we truly enjoyed every moment. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was special and memorable.
Clean and comfortable facilities
No dislikes, was perfect
Great cruise well organised activities (2 adults 2 teens) staff were really lovely and accomodating
Food was hit and miss - lacked the hospitality of free water
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent and the excursions were fun and interesting. The beds were excellent, my best sleep in Vietnam
There was no water or juices with brunch on the final day.
We were well taken by Lee. Enjoyed the cruise, the staff and the experience
Nothing
The staff and the hospitality on Amanda cruise is excellent. We had like a personal attendant for our 2.5 year old toddler, her name was Ruby. She did a great job on the entire cruise while attending us. The food is good. We booked for 2N3D and were upgraded to presidential suite for the second night. A must visit when you come to Vietnam
The staff was very friendly
There is no free water for drinking during the meals. Only little selection of fruits and seafood.
Our cruise director Dan and his staff really were great. They were enthusiastic and gave well-intentioned service. The activities were pretty standard - and having already participated in two other Ha Long Bay cruises, I have something to compare. Food was also average but it’s worth noting that they accommodated for a variety of dietary restrictions - so I really appreciated that.
You may read a lot of glowing reviews here or on TripAdvisor but some of these may have been written under duress. :) As is typical, the wait staff shared a QR code for TA reviews during our brunch on the way back to port but then they proceeded to watch over as people completed their reviews. When guests indicated some negative experience they would give the guest a hard time about it. That’s simply unprofessional. I took the link and told them that I would write my review later. Speaking of unprofessional, there was some sort of issue with our booking and the way it was handled was simply unacceptable. I had booked two junior suites and was told by William who handled all pre-departure communication that the room was double booked on the second night so he suggested we upgrade to a different boat for the second night. Perhaps this would have been okay if I learned about it a week or even a few days before departure but he wrote this message literally minutes from when we arrived at port for check-in. We declined to switch boats so we were downgraded for the second night and given a small refund for the price difference plus refunded transport and a few free drinks on board. Perhaps that sounds like a good solution but when you’re excited about your cruise on Ha Long Bay the best welcome is not bad news! The cruise is advertised here on Booking.com as five-star and it simply is nothing close. As a matter of fact, the “official” rating by the Vietnam rating body is two stars (see photo attached). The way this is advertised on Booking.com is wrong and as such the website should probably delist them for misrepresentation. Finally, my name is Jeffrey - not Maria. From the first WhatsApp message from William though boarding the transport back to Hanoi, everything about our booking referred to another guest named Maria. It’s a small thing but maybe if you can fix small mistakes like this, bigger ones like overbooking your boat won’t happen in the future.
The staff were lovely and helpful
Food was average, no swimming or fun activities on board, we had a large group aboard who dominated all the attention and were rude.
THEY SAID, DID NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT FROM BOOKING.COM. IF PAY BY CREDIT CARD 4% CHARGE... REALLY IT IS CHEATING BUSINESS. YOU SHOULD BE INFORMED WHILE BOOKING ITSELF. Breakfast is very basic, and there are not many choices. We asked for an Indian vegetarian option, but they serve similar items all the time. No teasty ..
We booked a Junior Suite with Juliet Balcony but we got a standard room with 2 beds. We are 3 adults. after long discussion, they put one more small folding bed. Rooms are very small and the water is lagging in the bathroom. very difficult to take a bath all people... need to wait a long time to drain water... AFTER THE COMPLAINT, NOBODY VISITED OUR ROOM. THEY SAY ALL ROOMS ARE FULLY BOOKED. WE CAN NOT HELP.
The rooms were very good and the staff were especially wonderful. So courteous and respectful and Dan was a great host The meals were very good and in most cases, too much food
No complaints about the property but Ha Long Bay is very busy, too many tourists lol
Supert personale.
Litt enkle rom
Our boat had issues with room we booked, so we were upgraded to Grand Hera Luxury cruise. It was fabulous, staff were friendly and accomodating. There was plenty of good food, drinks were great. Lots of activities to keep you busy.
Actual boat is old on outside, and needs a bit of work, but inside was lovely.
Todo
Nada
De vriendelijkheid van het personeel
Eigenlijk niets
El personal muy amable y atento en todo momento. La bahía y sus islas son impresionantes (aunque la basura flotando en el agua, y la masificación hacen que la experiencia no sea excepcional)
El barco y las fotos del camarote que publicita booking.com son diferentes a la realidad. El barco es muy viejo y los camarotes están hechos polvo. Si volviéramos a hacer la excursión escogeríamos un barco más moderno. Nos quejamos y nos explicaron que nos habían hecho un upgrade (si esto fue un upgrade no me quiero imaginar lo que teníamos antes). Ha sido bastante timo, haremos una reclamación a booking.com. La comida, muy justita. En cambio, el precio, alto para el estándar en Vietnam, no se ajusta a la calidad en general de barco y experiencia. Respecto a la experiencia propiamente dicha, la masificación (más barcos que islas, y vas todo el tiempo, haciendo una fila con cientos de personas) es discreta. Si repitiéramos, buscaríamos otro tipo de formato, aunque no parece sencillo de encontrar.
Great size rooms. Food was delicious. Fun activities
Nothing
Dan and crew were very helpful and informative. They made the cruise very exciting and fun. There were enough activites as well as meal choices. All dietary requirements were catered for. Was great for kids. Cruise ship was clean amd comfortable.
Nothing to complain about.
Der Ausblick war sehr schön und das Zimmer war sauber.
Das WLAN funktionierte nicht.
L’accueil et la gentillesse du personnel. Le confort des chambres et le buffet exceptionnel.
Rien
We spent a day on a boat in Ha Long Bay with our family. The boat itself was decent, and the staff were excellent — professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing the best possible service.
Unfortunately, the overall experience was significantly affected by poor organization and broader environmental issues. Although around 90% of the guests were families, a bachelor group was placed on the same boat and behaved in a loud and disruptive manner, completely destroying the calm, family-friendly atmosphere. This should have been avoided through better guest grouping. Families an d party-oriented groups clearly do not belong on the same tour.
Liked the enjoinment, activities and the room. Dan the Man (the manager) was very helpful in all activities. Informed all the time plan well in advance for us to get ready
The butter/oil used for the dinner was too much
Everything was perfect. I couldn't have dreamed of anything better. The service was on par with world-class 5-star hotels. They were very attentive to guests and took great care of them. They recognized needs before they were even asked for. Nothing was a problem for them. We were traveling with a small child, and during the dinner, they prepared a special menu for him based on what he likes. The seafood was delicious! The cruise was organized in such a way that we visited the most important attractions outside of the largest crowds, thanks to which we could feel the magic of Ha Long Bay. Special thanks to Dan, who took care of each of us. For me 100/10!
Nothing
Un très bon sejour
Je pensais navigue un peu plus dans la baie
Le responsable Dan a juste été professionnel, attentionné du début à la fin. Il a contribué pour que notre croisière soit et reste un moment magique & inoubliable durant notre voyage. Le personnel était également professionnel, souriant et bienveillant. Les activités proposées étaient très bien. Si nous pouvons donner un conseil, prenez deux nuits et non une nuit. La deuxième journée fait TOUTE la différence.
Amanda Cruise faciliteter ombord var virkelig fine og rene. Personalet gjorde en kæmpe indsats, for at gøre opholdet så godt som overhovedet muligt for alle mand ombord. Det var nemt at booke og kommunikationen var i top. Det var styr på alle ting, så vi bare kunne slappe af og nyde det.
Programmet er lidt pakket, så der er ikke så meget tid til at slappe af, når man har 2 dage / 1 nat turen. Der blev også brugt lidt lang tid på informationer. Ha Long Bay er også meget turistet, hvilket man selvfølgelig godt forstår 😆
the bar was far too expansive
Thw food variety, kind staff and lots of activities on offer invluding hike, kayaking and squid fishing.
Transport to/from was a little unclear/delayed but that is because Hanoi traffic is bad
Quarto espaçoso, silencioso.
Merece uma melhor limpeza na área externa ( sacada da cabine )
Tot ha estat molt bé. El personal un 10, habitació correcte, visites correctes.
Que les begudes vagin apart. Preu d’estranger, molt cares!
Dan, the man, the manager of the cruise,is a great guy who looked after each tourist and provided them with their needs as and when required which took the service of the cruise to an exceptional level. Great, lovable and a excellent tour of halong bay by amanda...thanks to each crew members
Everything was ol
Scenery was spectacular. Cabins were clean. Food was great
Some of the activities were crowded
The cruise was amazing. The staff were so kind and entertaining. The ambiance was breath taking.
Too short. We should have gone for the 3 day cruise.
Le bateau est joli, les chambres spacieuses avec une petite terrasse agréable. La nourriture était bonne. Le personnel était serviable. Nous avons voyagé à Andy. Les informations étaient claires et les horaires précis. Le prix des boissons n’est pas excessif. Les repas étaient différents à chaque fois, nous sommes restés 3j/2n et c’est parfait.

On nous a changé de bateau la veille pour Le Journey Luxury Boat. Les activités étaient millimétrées, parfois trop courtes (ça semble être le cas dans toutes les compagnies). Le bateau était bien mais je ne dirai pas que ça vaut 5 étoiles, mais il restait très correct. Le 2e jour, on nous a proposé du kayak alors que nous mangions encore, je trouve ça moyen. Le 3e jour nous n’avons pas fait de kayak comme annoncé.
On booking dot com it was booked as £750 for the 3 day trip, when I paid the bill it was £850
Highly recommend this cruise (especially the 3D2N), we had a great time with Dân and the crew! It‘s truly like a big family and there are lots of activities you can do, which are also all optional. If you want to just stay on the boat, you can:) On the 2nd day of the 3D2N we were able to see a different part of the Halong bay and we could even swim and see a pearl farm.
The boat is not that new, which means some amenities seemed a bit older. This was not a bigger problem to us though:)
personale gentile colazioni e pasti sufficienti
l'organizzazione delle escursioni , un pò troppo ravvicinate nel corso della giornata. Sarebbe meglio partire la mattina e tornare ad una certa ora dopo aver fatto tutte le tappe.
The food, trips and Dan the Man was excellent
Room appeared smaller than picture on Booking.com
Clean , friendly helpful staff, Dan the Man was a great guide very inclusive of everyone, had a great sense of humour. Tour was well organized and we saw a lot in the time we were there
La camera royal suite è davvero stupenda: oltre ad essere spaziosissima è dotata di un balcone privato da cui si può godere di una vista mozzafiato. Le attività sono ben organizzate, lo staff molto gentilw e preparato! È stato bello cenare sul ponte alla sera immersi nella natura e tra le luci eella barca.
Sarebbe bello poter trascorrere la seconda giornata almeno fino alle 13
El personal es atento y siempre con una sonrisa. La actividad del Kayak es la única interesante.
El colchón de la cama era rigido y las almohadas muy grandes y duras, imposible dormir suerte que escogimos el crucero de una noche. A parte que el olor ha diesel de los motores y el humo se filtra en las habitaciones. La comida escasa. En el buffet una vez se acaba alguna opción cuesta que vuelvan a reponer. La cena principal la sirven en platos individuales con unas raciones minsas. Las bevidas de ningun tipo entran. Las excursiones que se realizan estan masificadas.
Old and deteriorating facility
We were upgraded to the Hera cruise . The staff were superb. Ming who looked after us for our stay and coordinated everything was brilliant. The quality of the food was excellent. The schedule was busy but it needed to be to get all the trips and excursions in. Well worth it.
We were in then Hera cruise as the Amanda was out of service
Food was really good. Customer service very good too. Rooms are quite comfortable, pillows not so much though.
We took a 3D2N cruise and we thought the 1st day tours are a common and very bad choice: way too crowded. Day 2 activities were fantastic on the other hand. Also, the manager of the boat was a bit rude sometimes which we thought it was due to a certain level of stress (crowded activities doesn’t help).
- The service staff were attentive and on board tour guide Minh kept us on time and on our toes with schedules. You could say he ran a tight ship. - We asked for a non fish menu and it was well catered for us. - The admin team that contacted us via WhatsApp were efficient as organising transport to and from our hotel.
- The AC split system was old and struggled. - The photos of the Hera Grand Luxury don’t match the current state of the boat. Like a dating app, they looked way better than reality. We got bumped from the Amanda Halong to another boat in their fleet the Hera Grand Luxury. Whilst sounding like an upgrade, the upgrade boat in reality is a lot more degraded than the photos. What someone described as Classic Indochina I described as “old and tired”, with weeds even growing along edges of the deck and life rafts looking old and worn as pictures attached show.
Everything. The boat was great, staff super friendly and helpful. Activities were great and explained well. Our room was beautiful and the bath with a view amazing. Dinner was fab and we only wish we had had longer on board.
Nothing.
Great cruise boat, nice food and drink options and very welcoming and friendly staff. Transport to port was convenient and comfortable and worked out as planned. Thanks Andy. 🙏
The view of Ha Long bay was beautiful and it was serene away from the bustling Hanoi.
The one night two days cruise felt quite busy as we were either eating or doing some activities. It could be more relaxing.
Gave a 5 only because we appreciated the upgrade to a bigger cruise and room—thank you for that. We really loved the room, it was spacious and beautiful, with a great sea view, balcony, and a large bathroom.
However, the itinerary and cleanliness were quite disappointing and need SERIOUS improvemeny. We were looking forward to visiting Surprising Cave and Titop Island, but only went to Hospital Cave. The kayaking felt rushed, and we didn’t have much time to explore. There was no bait provided for squid fishing, and we didn’t see any squid at all. Also, we found dead cockroaches in the room.
We did the one night cruise with Amanda Halong Cruise and had the best time! The room was clean and comfortable, the activities were very fun and the boat was beautifully presented. We absolutely loved the food! Every single meal was so delicious and we were particularly impressed with the four course nighttime meal. We went on adventures with Tom, laughed and danced with Dan and did a guided Tai Chi session with Hannah. The staff were some of the kindest and happiest people which definitely made the trip that bit more special. Another special mention to a gentleman that was serving food and drinks - I am sorry that I can't remember his name but he was wonderful and always greeted us with the biggest smile. I am so happy we picked Amanda cruise for our Halong Bay experience and would definitely recommend to others.
Nothing!
The room
Need more water and ac
Great experience. The 2nd day was the BEST. Amazing staff especially Dan, Hannah & Tom 👍 Great food.
Room tiny, not like pics. There was no deck from the room (it was a sliding window).
The room we booked was not in proper maintenance condition and was not clean. The roof was not properly painted, the walls were stained and the floor had hairs and dust from previous guests. We were upgraded after talking to the manager. Luckily that other superior room was available. This cruise was rated as 5 stars and we had higher expectations. The staff is very nice and the food was good. The maintenance overall of the boat can be improved.
The crew was kind and supportive. The activity was ontime
Nothing
The room was clean, comfortable and well-equipped]. Staff were friendly, professional and super helpful. The location was peaceful and amazing. The buffet options were really good and so were the activities. Dan was amazing and kept us entertained throughout our stay. He made sure about our needs and checked on us which was very nice of him.
The cruise was fanatastic, great size rooms were very spacious for which I was not expecting! We were upgraded to a room with a balcony
Can’t say anything bad at all we had a wonderful time!
I recently had the pleasure of joining a luxury cruise in Vietnam, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The cruise ship itself was absolutely beautiful—elegant in design with a peaceful, boutique atmosphere. One of the things I appreciated most was the size of the cruise; it wasn’t overcrowded, which made the whole experience feel more serene and exclusive. Our room was spacious and stunning, with clean, comfortable beds and high-quality amenities that made the stay extra enjoyable. The staff were incredibly warm and hospitable—always smiling, welcoming us, and ready to assist with anything we needed. Their friendliness really made a difference and added a personal touch to the trip. The food was a highlight of the journey—delicious meals were served throughout, and the coffee was especially impressive. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and there was always something to look forward to. The activities on board and off the cruise were well-organized and enjoyable. I loved the guided cave walk, the little hike we did, and the kayaking adventure. Boat rides and guided tours were also part of the experience, all offering stunning views and enriching insights. The cruise team also helped us arrange transportation seamlessly, which made things even more convenient. Overall, I highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious escape in Vietnam. Everything—from the calm setting and beautiful surroundings to the attentive staff and memorable activities—was perfect.
A great cruise, we really enjoyed ourselves, there were loads of activities to do from kayaking in beautiful waters, swimming, and visiting stunning beaches and caves, especially on the second day! The food was good and there was a good choice of dishes. Thanks again to Andy, Dan and the rest of the team for being so welcoming and hospitable! I would recommend doing the two night stay as then you really get to experience the bay properly in all it's beauty!
Nothing it was all wonderful!
The trip was very memorable. Ms. Marceling, the coordinator, the cruise manager Mr. Bam and whole cruise team was very polite and done a lot of care. Room was nice with a gallery and great view. Food was also excellent. I Cant believe that Jain vegetarian food can be so nicely prepared by a Vietnam chef. Thanks to all again.
The beautiful staff - especially Hannah and Andy. The activities, views, food - it was all amazing!
