      Halong Bay with its stunning natural beauty, it a must go destination when you visit Vietnam. My recent experience was great, thanks to our tour guide and also to all the crew members on the cruise. They were all friendly and I enjoyed the karaoke session and we loved the hospitality! Food on board was really delicious and the room was clean. Highly recommended!

      A highlight of our trip
      We did the 3 days/2 nights cruise as we wanted to relax and spend extra time at Halong Bay. Interesting enough everyone from our boat had paid for 1 night cruise only, so on the second day while they took everyone back to shore we were taken by a tender boat to another day boat and spent the day kayaking and doing other activities with tourists from other cruises, which was nice. Nice lunch was included and we had a great day. On our return to our cruise ship we met the new people that came onboard. The cruise organised a special dinner just for us on the second night so we would have different food than what we had on day 1 (and that the new passengers were now having). The staff were very friendly and went beyond and above to help you. We definitely recommend 2 nights.

      The trip was the Ha Long Bay Cruise 3D 2 N on Aquamarine. All parts of the trip incl hotel pickup, cruise boarding, day activities, night stays were very well organised. All meals onboard were provided and the staff gave excellent service.

      Do not use this operator
      3 day trip booked in June 2023 for a 30th wedding anniversary. Trip unilaterally cancelled by operator at the last minute ie within 24 hours (if I had done this, the whole fee would be lost). Left me unable to book a suitable replacement plus additional hotel cost - it should not be possible to do this. None of the explanations stack up - the cynic in me thinks that someone offered more money for a trip at a peak time of year. Operator is unwilling to offer to cover my additional costs. I would not recommend them.

      Stunning cruise thorough Halong Bay
      Amazing Halong Bay cruise. Totally worth it- wonderful amazing views through the bay, food, service and friendliness tiptop and the various activities were all very enjoyable! Special highlight was doing the three day version which gives you a full day almost as a private tour and of course the landscape! Loved every minute

      A trip to remember.
      The trip started off in a v.i.p tour bus to ferry us over to halong bay. The English speaking tour guide on the bus was very friendly and made sure all of our needs were meet. When we arrived at the departure lounge for ha long bay we both warmly greeted and didn't have to touch any of our luggage. When we were aloud to board the ship we greeted by all the friendly staff and greeted with a beautiful drink. We were served a delicious buffet lunch with both western and viet cuisine. The activities on board were good fun and the day activities were second to none. We felt special the whole time and couldn't recommend this cruise enough. A big thanks to Tom the tour manager and Anh La who went above beyond to make sure we were comfortable and our needs were meet. Thank you again :)

      Brilliant experience on the Saphire cruise
      We had an amazing time visiting Ha Long Bay, spending 2 nights was definitely worth it as we were able to experience so much more of the bay as well as Cat Ba Island. The crew couldn’t have been more helpful and kind, and the whole experience was seemless from start to finish, even organising transport to the airport for us after. We were well fed and looked after the whole time, with Luc being the best host we could have asked for. Would definitely recommend

      Great service, smooth sailing logistics from start to end
      Booked this cruise via Viator.com and it was well worth the money. Smooth transportation logistics from Hanoi to Halong and back. Super responsive and communicative operator on WhatsApp. The cruise of course was great. The rooms and ship was dated a bit but that is the case with almost all the ships in the bay. I’d say the ship we were on, Le Journey, was one of the better ones. Once in the bay, the ship’s crew was amazing. Great Vietnamese hospitality and if you like seafood, the food is amazing too! If anything, sometimes I feel bad that we had so much food and so much leftovers. I hope they don’t go to waste and would be used for fish bait or something.

    Great experience!

    Scenery and activities were amazing. Halong Bay is a must do! Sung Sot Cave was impressive and much better than expected.

    The cruise itself was good. Rooms on the small side (as expected for a cruise). Showers suboptimal (low water pressure - stops running when everyone on the ship has a shower at once after getting back from an activity). Lots and lots of food (you will not be hungry!).

    Recommend buying bottled water prior to going on boat as the mark-up is high - paid ~$2.50 AUD for a 350mL bottle of water on the boat, but there is no other option once you leave the mainland.

    We went on the 2 day 1 night 5 star halong bay tour and it was excellent. Our room was upgraded to the royal suit, which is huge, has surrounding windows, private balcony and a standing bathtub in the room! The rest of the boat is also very smart and well maintained. The tour manager, Chein, was fantastic though out. He made us feel welcome and put a lot of effort into ensuring things ran smoothly. All of the staff on board were helpful and friendly. The tour itself has a packed schedule but also leaves you enough time in between activities to shower/relax before the next one. We both had a great halong bay experience and would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone considering it.

    Very well organised trip, with good pickup and dropoff from our AirBnB. The bus was ventilated with AC, and had one stop on the way.

    The cruise manager was very nice and friendly. The cruise accounted for vegan options, including many different vegan options at dinner.

    Halong Bay itself was stunning - thanks to the amazing weather and clear skies, we were able to enjoy the sunset and sunrise, with calm waters.

    We paid for the 5 star accommodation but really it was a 3. Unfortunately the room was a bit smaller than we thought it would be, so we did not have enough room to open our luggage. Not to mention the 5 star package included a limousine return transfer from Hanoi instead we were packed in a mini bus with 20 other guest with our luggage stacked in the walk way.

    Otherwise the ship staff were good and helpful, the ship we were on was nice enough and the food was pleasant. However, would just recommend taking the above into consideration and perhaps saving money by booking the 3 star package.

    Dear Mr Tuan Tran Thank you for your booking and joined a cruise with us on Sept 19,20 - 2022 We highly appreciate your review. 1) You booked and paid for 5 stars cruise, yes. We confirmed it and we already arranged ALISA PREMIER CRUISE, this is 5 stars cruise in Halong Bay. You can Do Your Own Search (DYOR) on Google. 2) We have many customers booked this cruise daily and they are all happy with 5 stars option. From the quality of cabin, food quality, services, transfer you by limousine bus round trip from Hanoi. 3) Before your trip, we already sent you all information of your cruise, photos, itinerary, photos of limousine bus , where to pick up, things to do, notes before the trip. 4) We do not know what your conception of 5 stars cruise is ? Please advise us about your 5 stars class ? Sometimes, there is a issue happened at all cruises, from 2,3,4,5 stars in Halong Bay, but the most important things is how we solve the issue, we always stay in front, transparent, always responsible for all of things. We have many customers booking cruise tours, but they seems busy for travelling and not yet do reviews. Thank u so much for your reviews, we do appreciate it, your review is extremely helpful for our next customers. We do appreciate it and we always try our best to make your trip best if we can Regards Dan Nguyen

    They advertise this as 2 days but we don't even get a full 24h on the boat. There's no wifi on the bus, no wifi in the bedrooms. No drinks were free. You even had to pay for tea, water. Every activity felt rushed. If you didn't show up to the food on the dot there isn't a guarantee you'll have food. They maybe 10 croissant for 10 people so if someone takes 2 you get none. Instead of rushing everything they should actually make it 2 days. Even check out they were ringing at our doors to get out even though we were still on the boat for another 2 hours

    Halong bay has beautiful scenery. The crew and our main tour guide Dan were all great. The first lunch had amazing food if you like seafood.
    I have a big problem with saying this is a 2 day cruise. We arrived at the boat at approximately 11:00 am first day then waited 45 minutes to get onboard. Great lunch was served. We did the beach and kayaking after lunch. Back to your room or sit on outside deck until dinner. There is very few patio chairs for use. We had to use plastic chairs we found stacked up. Dinner at 7:30. Back to your room or outside. There is no where to sit inside at a table during the cruise except your room.
    The next morning tai chi at 6:15 am, light breakfast at 7:00 am. Cave at 7:30, back at 9:00 am. You must have everything packed and out of your room at 9:45 am. They will start cleaning the rooms. You are served brunch at 10:00, I would not classify 10:00 am as lunch time. You are docking at 11:00 am and off you get!! 11:00 in the morning?? The kicker is then you sit on the dock u til your pick up at noon. We were driven straight back to our hotel with no stops, dropped at 2:00 pm. We had been told 4:00 so I booked an 8:00 PM flight. What a total waste of a day. Thank you La Passion for letting us sit in your lobby with our luggage and use of a bathroom for a few hours. It is not an inexpensive tour. You pay for your bottled water, 95;000 VDN per beer and 188,000VDN per drink. Pretty steep prices.
    Glad I saw Halong Bay but wish I had just done a day cruise for a lot less money.

    This trip was so disappointing. This is the one event during our Vietnam holiday we splashed out on but sadly the 5 stars never delivered.

    Bus ride was questionable (think we were forgotten and were picked up nearly 2 hours after we expected to be) boat was run down, room was dirty and damaged, food was subpar. All of this would have been ok if we had paid an eighth of the price and weren’t sent photos to raise our expectations.
    The tour guide came and checked on room, he stated he would look at upgrading us but then made sure to never come talk to us the reminder of the trip ..

    All the other guest we talked to shared these thoughts. I’m not saying don’t book a trip like this, just make sure your open minded and happy to pay 5 star and receive sub 2.

    One redeeming quality - the junior staff on the boat were amazing, they were super sweet and extremely friendly.

    The staff was excellent. They are friendly & accommodating. Although, the activities were so so in my opinion. Titop beach was so unbearably crowded and we had just 45 minutes to hang out there. The cave tour is pretty cool and has a dope bird’s eye view of Halong Bay at the end. The final day you really don’t do much, just have breakfast, chill, and do quick kayaking activity. It felt like it was a 1.25 day / 1 night cruise rather than 2 day. It’s a lot of traveling to and from Hanoi for such a short cruise.

    Overall, simply the backdrop of Halong Bay including the crystal clear water, limestone rock formations, and clear skies truly makes this trip worth it. It’s an affordable cruise. Transportation and tour guides being provided makes it pretty effortless. The food and drinks are decent. I’d say it’s quite worth it.

    I recommend a longer stay if you have time (3 day/2 night) and also, choose the Bai Tu option as allegedly it’s less crowded and touristy.

    The trip was well organized and planned. There was always something to do, as well as time alotted for relaxing on the boat. The cabin was great and I slept like a baby in there. The bathroom in the cabin was great too. The shower and fixtures seemed to be new. We went hiking, swimming, kayaking etc, and at night we sang karaoke. The stars were also nice and bright and we star gazed from the sundeck. Great trip! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
