This junk was recommended by our hotel in Hanoi and it was great. This is quite the operation. We were fortunate that though the weather in Apr wasnt that great, the junk manage to sail. Really, Ha Long Bay was a sight to behold. This junk anchored overnight at a less crowded location of the bay, and it was good.... More

Trip Advisor needs to add another category in "who did you go with?" I went on this cruise as part of my family trip with my parents and brother. We were very impressed and pleasantly surprised with how nice the accomodations were. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. The cruise ship itself is small but its perfect for the... More

There was very little positive about this trip. We had 2 days 1 night. Rooms were nice enough and clean but the bathrooms stunk, you have to keep the door closed. Our guide could speak English at probably below first grade level most people could not understand him, he also stared at me incessantly making me very uncomfortable and making... More

Halong Bay is a must see if you're in Hanoi. The scenery is wonderful. The boat Emotion is well outfitted and the rooms spacious with modern bathrooms. Meals were good but no drinks at all included except at breakfast. Friendly staff. The garbage floating in the bay is disconcerting however and this is a world heritage site!!!! More

We took a 3 day cruise on th Halong Emotion (actually, we arrived mid-day on day one, had a full day on day two, and left mid-day on day 3). Our cabin was lovely and spacious, with a small door to an outside small balcony. The food was superb and the service equally good. Our second day saw us put... More

My daughter and myself both spent two nights on the Halong Emotion Cruise and were not disappointed. A must is a camera as the scenery is breath taking even when it is overcast and misty. We were so glad that we decided on the two night cruise as this allowed us to have a days outing on another boat to... More

A cruise that never happened....at least on this boat.We were meant to sail as we were served lunch. The lunch was not bad but that was all we experienced on the boat. The cruise never happened because the engine broke down and could not be repaired. We were kept waiting for over four hours. Nor was any information on status... More

We in fact are a family of eight adults cruising Ha Long Emotion for one night in Dec 2011. This was our second time cruising overnight in Ha Long Bay, and this time we were happier than the first time with other company. As recommended in TripAdvisor, truly those who consider stay overnight in Ha Long Bay should try Ha... More

Staff were really friendly and made a big effort. The boat is not great and to be honest expensive for what you get. Cabins was spacious but not clean - we had a footprint on the bed covers and some other stains. The shower was only a dribble. The biggest thing to bear in mind about the boat trip is... More
