Toni ist der Mann für alle Fälle, von Tai Chi, Kochkurs und persönlich über WhatsApp jederzeit ansprechbar. Das Team um ihn und Andrew ist ganz besonders herzlich und macht den Aufenthalt unvergesslich.

Der Cappuccino ist verbesserbar, wenn es sonst nichts ist.... ;-)

Very clean and spacious rooms with everything we needed

The service. I’d like to mention Andrew that gave an exceptional service

Nous avons fait la croisière 2 jours en chambre avec balcon. L’ensemble du personnel est aux petits soins, ils sont d’une extrême gentillesse. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux ainsi que les repas. Les activités sont correctes et le cadre est somptueux. Je recommande cette croisière

From the moment we stepped onboard, we received a very warm welcome from the crew, who made us feel comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire journey. The service was truly top-notch. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, making the experience even more enjoyable. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, providing the perfect place to relax while taking in the beautiful scenery. Overall, Le Journey Elegance is a wonderful cruise experience that we would happily re commend to others.

We had an amazing time exploring the breathtaking beauty of Lan Ha Bay when travelling with Le Journey Elegance Cruise. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and every moment of the journey was relaxing and memorable. What truly made the experience exceptional was the wonderful cruise staff. They were friendly, attentive, and organized everything so smoothly. We are simply relaxing and enjoying the trip. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Lan Ha Bay and would love to come back again in the future.

This was my second time visiting Lan Ha Bay, and also my second experience with Le Journey Elegance Cruise. The cruise itself is beautiful, and the rooms are comfortable and well maintained. Although the weather was quite hot during our visit, the air conditioning in both the dining area and cabins worked very well, ensuring a pleasant stay onboard. The food was good with a nice variety of options, and the staff were always friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout the journey. It was just as enjoyable as the first time. Come and join the trip—you won’t regret it! I really hope to come back again for another experience in the future.

The staff are wonderful especially Andy and Andrew.

I felt lucky to have the opportunity to take part in various activities and fully enjoy the breathtaking natural scenery of Ha Long Bay. The scenery throughout the journey was absolutely breathtaking and made the entire experience even more memorable. The crew were incredibly friendly, warm, and enthusiastic from start to finish. They were always attentive to guests’ needs and showed great care, especially when it came to accommodating different dining preferences and habits, which made the experience feel very personalized and comfortable. Overall, everything was well organized and exceeded expectations. It was a perfect 10/10 experience with no complaints at all.

The entire experience exceeded our expectations, especially thanks to the outstanding crew, who were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. We chose the 1-night itinerary and felt it was the perfect amount of time to enjoy the beauty of the bay. The food was excellent throughout the trip, and the onboard drink prices were very reasonable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We would happily recommend Le Journey Elegance cruise to anyone visiting Vietnam.

Me and my partner had an exceptional experience from the moment we boarded until the end of the cruise. Waking up to the panoramic views of Lan Ha Bay through the floor-to-ceiling windows was truly unforgettable. The cabin were incredibly comfortable and beatifully designed. The service throughout the journey was outstanding. The staff was always attentive, helpful, and quick to assist whenever needed. Their professionalism and genuine hospitality made us feel valued and well looked after. Exploring the stunning scenery of Lan Ha Bay was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip. We also enjoyed every meal onboard, all of which were fresh, delicious, and well presented. This cruise exceeded our expectations in every way.

Le Journey Elegance cruise was a wonderful experience, but what truly made it special was the incredible staff. From the moment we arrived, the team was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring that my friend and I had the best possible stay. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel welcomed and well cared for throughout the journey. Thanks to the outstanding service and memorable experiences onboard, this was a trip we will remember fondly.

We had an unforgettable experience on this cruise and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the journey. One of the most magical parts was waking up during the night and looking out at the peaceful bay, where the limestone islands and calm waters created a breathtaking view each time. The kayaking activity was a real highlight, allowing us to get closer to the stunning scenery and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Throughout the trip, the crew provided excellent service and always made us feel welcome and well looked after. Although there was a small issue, the team handled the situation with genuine care and professionalism, which we greatly appreciated. Their attention and concern ensured that our overall experience remained positive from start to finish. We would highly recommend spending a night on Le Journey Elegance Cruise to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic, and memorable experience in Vietnam.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time onboard and were impressed by the warm hospitality of the crew. The staff were always friendly, attentive, and willing to help whenever needed. Our cabin was clean, comfortable. One aspect that stood out was the care given to guests with special dietary requirements. My companion and I were the only vegetarians among a large group of passengers, yet the kitchen team took the time to prepare separate vegetarian dishes especially for us. Not only was this thoughtful, but the meals were also delicious and exceeded our expectations. We truly appreciated the effort and attention to detail from the entire team

From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew made us feel genuinely welcome with their warm hospitality and attentive service. Lan Ha Bay was breathtaking, with stunning landscapes and a peaceful atmosphere that made the journey truly special. The dinner was excellent, and the variety of onboard activities added so much enjoyment to the trip. Everything was thoughtfully organized, allowing us to relax and fully appreciate every moment without having to worry about a thing. the combination of beautiful scenery, engaging activities, delicious food, and exceptional service created memories that we will cherish for a long time. We would highly recommend Le Journey Elegance Cruise to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Vietnam.

We recently joined Le Journey Elegance Cruise and truly enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish. The transfer from Hanoi was smooth and well organized. Since we were picked up last, we could head straight to the port without waiting too long on the bus. Once onboard, the Cruise Manager welcomed us warmly and gave a very informative and entertaining briefing. The crew members were all incredibly friendly and even joined the karaoke with guests, which made the atmosphere so much fun and memorable. The food was delicious, the activities were enjoyable, and overall everything was very well arranged.

Our family booked the 2D1N trip on Le Journey Elegance Cruise through a friend’s recommendation, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our Vietnam journey. The crew was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout the cruise, always making sure guests were comfortable and enjoying their time onboard. The food was delicious, the cabin was cozy and comfortable, and all activities such as kayaking and cave exploration were very well organized. Lan Ha Bay was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We truly had a memorable experience and would definitely recommend Le Journey Elegance Cruise to anyone visiting here

Everything was very well organised, including the transfer from Hanoi, which made the trip feel easy and stress-free. Lan Ha Bay was absolutely stunning and much more peaceful than we expected. We especially enjoyed spending time by the pool, having a few drinks and chatting with other guests onboard — it created such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The fashion show in the evening was also a fun surprise and added something a bit different to the experience. The crew were attentive throughout the trip, the food was very good, and overall it was a fantastic way to experience the bay. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Vietnam.

Andrew, Tony and Kevin were very helpful!

Lan Ha Bay was absolutely stunning, much quieter and more peaceful than we expected. The room was clean and comfortable with amazing balcony views, the food was plentiful, and the staff were incredibly friendly throughout the trip. Special thanks to the crew for always checking in on guests and making everyone feel welcome. We especially enjoyed kayaking and relaxing on the sundeck during sunset. The whole atmosphere felt calm and enjoyable. Transfer from Hanoi was smooth as well, which made the even trip easier. Overall, a really memorable experience and definitely worth considering if you want to explore Lan Ha Bay in a more relaxing way.

We had a truly wonderful experience on Le Journey Elegance Cruise. Every member of the crew was exceptional — welcoming, attentive, and incredibly friendly. They made us feel comfortable and at home throughout the journey. We especially enjoyed the squid fishing activity while relaxing with a beer in hand. The food was also excellent, buffet style with a ton of options, offering a great variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes as well as fusion cuisine. This experience will remain one of our favorite memories from our trip to Vietnam.

We were fortunate to have oportunity to wake up to the limestone karsts. The room itself is beautiful and well-appointed, with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and it’s a pleasure to return to after a day of activities. Lovely, attentive staff who genuinely make you feel welcome from the moment you step on board. It happened to be my birthday during the trip, and the team surprised me in the evening with a small birthday treat. It was such a thoughtful gesture and really made the experience feel personal and special.

Environnement Le personnel

Pas de connection wifi Mauvaise organisation des excursions (depart 1h apres le depart supposé et une autre excursion finalement annulée)

Lovely staff, and a beautiful, well-appointed room. The only regret is that I only stayed for two days — had I known how enjoyable it would be, I’d certainly have booked the three-day option instead.

Was amazing. Daisy was exceptional!

We loved it

This overnight cruise was a fantastic experience, especially to share with friends. From the beginning, the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. We enjoyed spending time together on the deck, taking photos, chatting, and laughing while enjoying the scenery. It felt like a floating vacation rather than a formal tour.

Le Journey Elegance ticks a lot of the right boxes for a comfortable cruise in Ha Long Bay. The cabin is a decent size — bigger than you might expect. Waking up and seeing the bay right from your bed is pretty special. The room is clean and practical. It’s not ultra-luxury, but it feels cosy and well put together. One of the standout features is definitely the bathroom. Having a bathtub with a sea view is a really nice touch — you can literally soak and enjoy the scenery at the same time, which makes the whole experience feel a bit more special. If you’re after a relaxed cruise with a comfortable room and great scenery — without needing full-on 5-star luxury — this will suit you just fine.

If you’re looking for a comfortable and relaxing experience, the Le Journey Elegance is a really solid choice. The room feels surprisingly spacious for a cruise cabin, with large windows that let you take in the views of the bay right from your bed. Waking up to that scenery was honestly one of the highlights of the trip. The bed itself is super comfortable, and the room is well laid out so you don’t feel cramped at all. The bathroom is clean and modern, with everything you need for a short stay. It’s not over-the-top luxury, but it definitely delivers a cozy, well-maintained feel that makes it easy to unwind after a day of activities. What I really appreciated was having a private space to relax in between excursions — whether it’s just sitting back, enjoying the view, or recharging before the next activity.

Chuyến đi này thực sự là dịp để mọi người quây quần và tận hưởng cùng nhau. Từ ăn uống đến ngắm hoàng hôn, mọi thứ đều tạo không gian để trò chuyện và chia sẻ. Rất dễ để thư giãn, cười đùa và tận hưởng chuyến đi theo cách thoải mái nhất.

Cette croisière d’une nuit a été une véritable expérience de voyage, bien plus qu’une simple activité touristique. Dès que nous sommes montés à bord, l’atmosphère était à la fois calme et élégante. Le bateau s’intégrait parfaitement au paysage naturel, et le fait de naviguer lentement dans la baie nous a permis d’en apprécier toute la beauté. Nous avons passé de longs moments sur le pont, à simplement observer l’eau et les îlots calcaires. C’était paisible, raffiné et profondément relaxant.

Accommodation, meals, and activities are well balanced, and nothing felt overpriced. The experience was much better than we expected. A fun, relaxing, and affordable way to enjoy the bay.

Cruise is amazing, to be honest this is our best trip in Vietnam so far, we have the most beautiful time in Halong Bay with Le Journey Cruise. Definitely will come back again

Everything was great.

Nothing

Friendly staff, views were amazing.

Struggled a little with the food, good tho.

There was something very special about waking up on the water, surrounded by nature and silence. The cabin was comfortable and tastefully decorated, and the common areas were thoughtfully designed. This cruise has a soul. It is perfect for travelers who value atmosphere, beauty, and meaningful experiences.

Food was very tasty and views were incredible. All the activities were great to do. Really enjoyed the kayak and the Cat Ba island caves. Our host Tony was very friendly with great knowledge of the caves. Very easy to talk to staff and enjoy our time

Our room didn’t have hot water in the shower

Die Auswahl des Essens hätte bei Frühstück und Lunch besser sein können. Ständig laute Musik durch die Lautsprecher. Der Ausflug in Viet Hai Village hätte interessanter sein können. Nur zum Fuss-Spa brauche ich nicht in die LanHanBay reisen, das hätte ich auch zu Hause haben können. Also für das Geld hätte ich mehr erwartet.....

There is something poetic about spending the night on the bay. The gentle movement of the boat, the changing colors of the sky, and the silence in the evening created a deeply calming atmosphere. This cruise allowed us to feel connected to nature in a very intimate way.

As travelers, safety and reliability are very important to us, and this cruise did not disappoint. The crew clearly explained safety procedures, and everything felt well controlled and professional. The boat was solid, clean, and well maintained. This gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the journey.

Requests were handled quickly, and communication was clear at all times. Staff knew exactly what they were doing, which made the experience feel seamless. It’s clear that the team is well trained and experienced.

Vriendelijkheid van het personeel was echt super. De service ook. We kregen een gratis upgrade vanwege onze huwelijksreis en hier werd ook nog aandacht aan besteed tijdens het diner. Ook voeren we naar Lan Ha Bay, een wat rustiger gedeelte, en bezochten we Cat Ba. Leuke activiteiten georganiseerd door de organisatie.

Drankjes, die niet zijn inbegrepen, vonden wij prijzig vergeleken met de rest van Vietnam.

The boat did not cruise just did excursions no good for people with limited mobility

The crew was exceptionally helpful and courteous. Would love to come back. James and Alex were very sweet and took care of all our needs when we were on cruise.

Loved the two day cruise great value for money lots of activities as you move around the bay. The staff were excellent friendly and warm plus the food was varied and enjoyable. The cruise manager was Mr Leon this guy was outstanding, professional, friendly and knowledgeable this young man is an asset to your company, thank you Leon and all the staff for making our trip special.

Early starts in the mornings 06.30 to 07.15 for breakfast they you were off the boat. Also the drinks are very expensive so be careful.

Programmpunkte zu wenig genau beschrieben. Es war nicht klar wie lange man jeweils zu den einzelnen Programmpunkten braucht. Ebenso war nicht klar. Dass die meisten Ausflüge mit dem bei mir sind bzw dass von mehreren Schiffen auch noch personen abgeholt und zu neuer Reisegruppe zusammengewürfelt werden. Es heißt Kreuzfahrt, aber die meiste Zeit ist das Schiff an derselben Stelle verankert

Cleanliness and views..

Food was average

La baie d'Along L'équipe du restaurant

Les activités trop rapides, gérées par une seule personne qui fait tout, cours de pêche, de taishi, de cuisine... C'était pas au niveau. Les prestations étaient globalement décevante, la restauration plutôt moyenne et le prix des boissons affichés en dollar américain clairement trop cher par-rapport à ce qu'on peut retrouver dans d'autres lieux très touristiques du Vietnam.

Nice architecture of the boat with the right number of guests, I.e. not too many

Food was a bit of a challenge as was language--it would be helpful if atleast one staff member was reasonably fluent in English & there were more Non sea food options

Hervorragend freundliches und äußerst zugewandtes Personal, großes Zimmer mit ausgezeichnetem Blick, zuverlässige Zeiten und verständliche Erklärungen zur Planung der Aktivitäten, abwechslungsreiche Ausflüge bei 3D/2N, reichhaltiges Essen mit ansprechender Aufbereitung, aufgeschlossene Mitreisende

Die Einrichtung im Zimmer ist schon in die Jahre gekommen. Auch die Reinigung der Fenster sowie des Balkons ist verbesserungswürdig, zumal der Blick nach draußen wichtig ist.

Tony was great! Nice to have such a spacious room. Enjoyed the kayaking and trip to cave.

Would have been nice if guests were more engaged, could have visited places not so busy with other boats, I missed out on the foot soak after dinner as it wasn't clear what the timings and location were for that. Also had no hot water in shower or ro use the bath. Blind in bathroom also broken.

So comfortable food was great!

When the cruise ended. .

I had an amazing experience on the Le Journey Elegance Cruise! Everything was well organised, the scenery was stunning, and the staff went above and beyond to make the trip special. A big thank you to Mr. Winters, the assistant director, for his professionalism and kindness, and to Shally, who was so lovely and helpful throughout the cruise. I’d definitely recommend this cruise — it was such a memorable experience!

Such warm friendly staff! Our room was amazing and very clean. The whole boat seemed new! The activities were fun.

Staff and activities

The water was pollut3d wi5h.lots of empty bottles etc discarded rubbish that wasn't the cruises fault the cruise was great

Such a lovely way to see Halong Bay. Big thanks to MrTony Winter and all the crew that made this an enjoyable trip.

El camarote era espectacular y todo el barco. Una gran experiencia.Esta valoración es sobre el Amanda Luxury porque a última hora nos cambiaron de barco.

Lo que no me gustó fue que un dia antes de llegar nos cambiaron de barco. Según nos informaron el barco contratado, el Le Journey Elegance tenía un problema técnico y no estaba operativo. Nos cambiaron al Amanda Luxury que cumplió totalmente las expectativas, pero durante el crucero vimos al Le jorney Elegance por la zona y con turistas dentro, por lo que entiendo que no era verdad lo del problema técnico.

an unforgettable stay thanks to the staff, especially thanks to Tuan Anh and Thai and Winters

Beautiful cruise. Friendly staff. Clean cabins.

The food could have been better. Staff members were a bit pushy at the end of the cruise and kept asking for great reviews. Please leave review decisions to customers without pushing them!

El personal es excelente y se preocupa en todo momento por sus huéspedes. Las vistas a la bahía son impresionantes y la excursión en kayak fue muy interesante.

Exceptuando la cena, el resto de comidas no vale lo que pagamos por la estancia ya que no había apenas variedad. Por otra parte, el ritmo de las actividades es demasiado acelerado y a veces no da tiempo a descansar lo suficiente. Otro aspecto negativo es el tiempo transcurrido desde el bote al barco ya que fueron unos 45 minutos.

We have to admit that what made our cruise really special was the personnel. They were very helpful, happy and introduced us Vietnamese traditions. The room was very nice but the bathtub was a bit small and inconvenient.The food was very tasty and the organisation of our trip was absolutely amazing.

As an exception of the rest of the personnel, the lady in the land during our check in was exactly the opposite. Not helpful to complete our payment and she had a truly rude attitude. Also, there was a charge mistake that they offered immediately to return to us with and extra as an apology. When we went to receive the false extra charge they lady at the check in desk has unpleasant attitude and she didn't even smile of be friendly. However, once again the rest of the personnel are truly one of a kind!

Unser Aufenthalt auf dem Boot war rundum gelungen. Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sehr sauber, besonders das Bad und der private Balkon haben uns begeistert. Das Personal war durchweg superfreundlich, und alles war perfekt organisiert. Wir hatten einen Transfer von Hanoi zur Halong-Bucht und im Anschluss vom Boot nach Cát Bà – beides wurde komplett vom Team arrangiert. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle herzlich, hilfsbereit und stets gut gelaunt. Wir können das Schiff uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Nichts

Todo está muy bien organizado. El barco no es demasiado grande lo que se agradece, el trato es más directo y personal. Las habitaciones limpias , el personal muy amable y servicial , dirigidos por el encantador Tony D, y ofrecen multiples actividades. La comida fue relativamente buena y suficiente. Es una buena experiencia en un entorno muy lindo.

Me dolió ver bastante basura en la bahía . Creo que es algo que se debe solucionar.

Personnel, food

Program description could be provided more comprehensively in written form prior boarding the ship, and the fact that guests of 2 days stay combined with 3 days on board the same ship simultaneously should be ‘visible’ on booking.com when selecting an option.

Lots of activities. Amazing surroundings. Loved the kayaking and squid fishing

Small pool

Staff bed

Turn mini golf into pickle ball and your on a winner

The rooms were lovely. The deck area clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Beer could be a little bit colder

The people, location and itinerary/experience is what makes it great. The team on board knows what is needed to have a great time. The off board trips we did were so worth getting up early. We were never bored by the wonderful views. We also arranged the transfers from Hanoi through the agency and their rates were competitive (better than Grab, for once).

Parts of the ship/room felt a bit outdated. That didn't weigh up to the mentioned pro's and we had a great time.

Lots of fun and a great experience, felt a little rushed on day two. Staff were friendly

It was an exceptional experience with a really good crew who went the extra mile to look after us. The food and boat were fantastic.

Nothing

We loved everything. We stayed in a suite and it was incredible, glass windows all around to give us such a beautiful view. A large and spacious balcony. Also the bath/jucuzzi was was to die for!! The team went above and beyond to make our stay magical. The manager noticed it was my birthday without me mentioning it, and arranged for our room to be decorated with petals and towel decoration art and also a birthday cake after dinner where everyone on board sang happy birthday. We loved the activities especially the kayaking, we went through the caves and all around and it was great! All together it was a trip of a lifetime, well organised, staff were exceptional & the food was delicious!! I wished we booked the 2 night package not just the one night as would have liked more time!

The only downside was getting woken up by the boat engine starting up early but that can’t be avoided. I think our room was right above the engine. But least it meant we was up early for the morning activities.

The boat was amazing, clean and with great facilities. I would recommend the 2 night cruise because the activities included on the cruise were great. Tony D and all the staff were so beautiful! They truely went above and beyond to make our experience incredible.

Nothing it was great

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on this Halong Bay cruise. From start to finish, everything was perfect — the itinerary, the food, the breathtaking views, and most of all, the incredible staff who made the trip so special. A huge shoutout to Tony, the cruise manager, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. His professionalism, kindness, and sense of humor really stood out. The entire crew deserves the highest praise — they were patient, friendly, and genuinely attentive to every detail. I have to say, not all guests made it easy (some were truly testing the limits of hospitality), but the staff handled every situation with the utmost grace and patience. It was honestly impressive to watch — a real masterclass in customer service. If you’re considering a Halong Bay cruise, this is the one to book. Thank you, Tony and team, for an incredible trip!

The obnoxiousness of other guests who made it difficult for the staff

The cruise manager were absolutely fantastic! The rest of the staff were friendly and efficient. I want to say that Mr Leon who managed our cruise were so informative and really looked after us and did a very good job.The food especially the lunch were very good.

Actually there is nothing that wasn't good

The boat was lovely and clean. The scenery was amazing. The staff were excellent. Delicious food. Plenty to choose from. Excellent service all round. Everything was great. Friendly staff. Great service. Perfect.

Would have liked some music for dancing and karaoke for fun atmosphere and guests participation.

Halong Bay is breathtaking — but this tour is a scam-laden, mismanaged experience that turns beauty into frustration. Stay far away.

The journey starts at 07:40 from Hanoi and reaches Halong Bay by 11:30. On the way, you’re forced into a blatant tourist trap — a so-called “toilet break” that’s nothing more than a 30-minute scam stop. Completely unnecessary and wastes your time. Upon arrival, the chaos continues. You’re told to wait 45 minutes, which turns into over an hour. Then you’re crammed into a boat for yet another 50-minute transfer just to reach the main boat. Once onboard, don’t expect any clear information. The itinerary is barked at you — loud, rushed, and without any visuals or effort to help you understand the day’s plan. No images, no briefings, just shouting. If you’re lucky, you might settle in by 2 PM. Menus are priced in US dollars, which feels deliberately misleading and inauthentic. Meals were decent, but even basic water isn’t included — everything is extra. The biggest failure? Internet access. I only had signal 10% of the time. When I asked about it, I was blamed by a staff member for not buying an internet package. Another even questioned why I needed internet at all — a shockingly dismissive attitude for a service that advertises onboard wifi. To make matters worse, staff behavior was blatantly discriminatory. The crew, especially the man making announcements, blatantly favored certain guests — chatting, drinking, and even partying with them — while ignoring others. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Cleanliness was average. Some teacups had lipstick stains. Showers were moldy or dirty. No in-room kettle — just tea and coffee sachets mocking you. You’re expected to chase someone down at the coffee bar just to get hot water, if you’re lucky to find them there. To top it off, I was offered a refund in exchange for changing my review. But no amount of money can restore a ruined dream trip.

Can’t beat the view and enjoyed the French inspired decor.

There was damaged floorboard in our room which presented as a potential hazard. The lights did not work.

The room was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful . Lots of food, probably too much! Cooking class was fun. There were various activities to partake of.

The advertised wifi in all areas was wrong. It only worked when the boat was stopped, understandably. But even then, it only occasionally worked on the upstairs deck, and nowhere else.

Beautiful to see Halong Bay. Great cabins, especially bathrooms

Was a little difficult to process payment by credit card which surprised me. Was also swapped into a Calypso Cruise at last moment but the facilities and activities were the same.

The crew was fantastic — genuinely kind, attentive, and professional throughout the journey. The rooms were surprisingly spacious, with hotel-level comfort and beautiful views from the private balcony. Buffet lunch was delicious, fresh, and varied. The à la carte dinner, however, was less impressive — not bad, but a bit underwhelming in comparison (just an honest observation).

While the scenery is truly stunning, the overall experience was not as smooth as expected. Be prepared to spend a significant amount of time on transfers and luggage logistics. Upon arrival, instead of checking directly into the cabin, you spend about an hour waiting onshore for the small boat transfer, followed by another hour being ferried to the actual cruise ship. Only after this process does lunch and the kayaking activity begin. In the morning, you won’t have time to relax — guests are required to check out of their cabins by 9:00 AM so staff can prepare for the next group. If you are booking a 1-night cruise, realistically plan for 2.5 hours each way spent on transfers and waiting after arriving at Halong Bay. the “1 night” cruise includes a lot of logistical downtime.

Was a really warm welcoming environment

The scenery was incredible

The2 night one was too long as you just repeated activities. I think a day cruise would be ample. The boat although 5 stars was nice but had its issues. Overall we had a nice cruise if you can look past a few hiccups. The meals were fantastic and the staff were nice although the Tai Chi class was very basic and didn't run the second day ad it was raining although there was ample space undercover he was tired and didn't try to accommodate it which was disappointing.

Very friendly personnel

Not very clean, boat is old,

Comfortable bed

Room was dirty Bathroom had cockroaches My daughter's bathroom had sewer bubbling up from the toilet Food was disappointing We had a three day cruise which was actually two full days They kicked us off the boat on the only full day to visit an island There was nothing to do on the island and the cruise left us there to pick up more passengers

Great location and a lovely boat but showing its age. Food ok but staff struggled to identify gluten free ( despite knowing in advance). Great kayaking & boat trip. Not sure wrapping spring rolls counts as a cookery demo! Tiny pool strangely overwhelmed with dolphins.

The room are beautiful and the crew is very nice and dedicated to make this experience unforgettable

The boat was very clean and charming. The staff was always helpful and made us feel comfortable.

The cruise itself was excellent. Our room was very comfortable and we loved being able to sit on our private balcony and see the beautiful Ha Long Bay scenery. We were impressed with the quality of the food at all the meals. All of the staff on board were kind and professional. We felt the whole experience was well worth the price paid. The kayaking excursion was fun. We skipped the second day excursion to have more time to enjoy our beautiful room and balcony.

The wifi almost never worked on the ship, which would have been fine (more time to look at scenery!), but we had an issue and it would have helped to be able to contact the tour company about it. We booked a promo that included a bottle of wine, but the staff on the cruise had no record of this. Luckily I was able to pull up my reservation confirmation and they honored it. But it took about 45 minutes to resolve because the staff was trying to find the cruise manager. We also booked transportation from Hanoi through the tour company, which proved very confusing. We weren't given a pickup time until after 10 p.m. the night before and it was unclear how to find the bus for our return. There was also a lot of wasted time on the transfer - 30 minutes at a tourist trap and a long wait until it was time to board the boat.
