Exceeded expections

No Gimics needed! Ha Long Bay is amazing! This cruise did the absolute best they could, given the overall situation of "over touristing" in the Ha Long bay area. The time that we went seems ideal - late September because it is between the heavier summer and late fall seasons. We were also fortunate, in a way, because a major Typhoon had hit the area and done significant damage only a few weeks before our trip. Therefore there were less people verturing into the area. Also, we booked the Long Quan Suite, which is incredibly appointed and situated at the rear of the ship with a fantastic private outdoor balcony area. (only downside of that was fumes from the diesel motors when wind was in the wrong direction)

The meals were generally good, when they were served buffet style. The two set meals were most definitely not to my liking. Seems to be an extremely stilted and old fashioned way to do it.

Amazing boat, amazing scenery, busy agenda

Loved the rooms and style of the boat

The demographic was very off - we had 80 percent retirees and 20 percent families and solo travellers.

Truly exceptional experience but please get the rubbish out of the water!!

Boat was excellent, staff are all fantastic and the location is sublime.

Something REALLY needs to be done about the amount of rubbish floating in the water.

Two night cruise is a must

Almost everything! If you can afford it get the Long Quan Suite, it has a large balcony and deck chairs. Definitely do 2 nights, one night wouldn't have been enough. We could've done 3 nights.

They moved the dates on us, but we got a free upgrade as a result.

Very good

The hospitality in was on a different level! A very beautifully designed room. The staff were all so caring, friendly, attentive, warm and eager to help with everything.

Our itinerary was changed due to tide level and it was a little bit disappointing.

Wonderful cruise experience, see it all, in luxury

We selected Au Co (after endless research!) bc their marketing and many customer reviews said they go beyond Ha Long to Lan Ha - to see the best scenery, and where there are fewer boats. We were skeptical how true this might be but we can confirm this is a accurate! The first day we cruised all the way to the south end of Cat Ba Island, on Lan Ha. There were only a couple other boats, in contrast to Ha Long which is packed. We did the 3 day /2 night, which gives you a more relaxed time. You have time to really relax and watch the scenery. You enjoy two completely silent nights on board. That said, I think you do see enough in the 2 day to get the key experiences. The boat is lovely, very well appointed in all aspects and areas, luxurious rooms, with housekeeping for the second night. The crew are all extremely helpful and efficient. After every excursion we were greeted with cold towels and a welcome drink. It feels like a Vietnamese experience. Our cruise director, Joy, was **wonderful** - entertaining and also very informative about history and culture. She pitched it just right, at all times of the day and evening. We feel that all but one of the excursions were good and worthwhile: the Viet Hai village, (we took the electric car), the big cave (Sung Sot), the hidden cave (Luon), and the Cua Van floating village. I think Trinh Nu beach is less worthwhile - at this time of year swimming was not really a big priority and it's not a great beach. They don't go to TiTov bc it is too crowded. Some reviews indicated confusion with happy hour, it was clear to us - you get 2 for 1 of the same drink, whether you drink both, or you and partner have one each! Food was excellent, especially the BBQ, the breakfasts, and the Vietnamese family style lunch. There is free water (coolers, water bottles) and coffee at all times. My wife really enjoyed the Tai Chi each day. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

The first day both lunch and dinner were scheduled in the restaurant. We were more than fine with enjoying a leisurely dinner (5 courses!). For lunch we wanted to be outside on the deck catching our first views of the karsts. Would much prefer a simpler buffet, and the flexibility to come and go, perhaps serve it outside.

Joy and the crew were super nice, would recommend too anyone who wants to see Lan Ha bay from up close!

it is a beautiful boat, has all the needed amenities. activities were fun, we met some wonderful people

sometimes water wasn't warm. drinks were pretty expensive outside of happy hours.

Fabulous

Very friendly team

Not enough cruise, two nights in the same place, too much focus on entertainment rather than exploring different areas of Halong Bay.

Nice cruise but customer service disappointing

Nice ship and friendly crew

Too expensive for what you get Service before and after the cruise was disappointing: The transport to Ha Long Bay: eight people were picked up but there was only space for four suitcases. As we were picked up last, it was nearly impossible to fit our suitcases in the car. One was put between the passengers which made the ride quite uncomfortable for some of them. If one pays over 800 EUR for a two day cruise and an extra 80 USD for the transfer, one can expect a pick up with a car that is suited for all the people and their luggage and also that one doesn’t have to drive two hours with a suitcase crammed against their legs. Also, the 20 min break was at the end of the two hour ride and not at a nice cafe or restaurant but at a tourist shopping location. The housekeeping did move around our private stuff a lot and they did some damage too. They even threw away something of mine that was standing on my nightstand. This is unacceptable! When I contacted customer relations about the damage they apologised but did not even offer any reimbursement. Only after I specifically requested it they agreed to pay some reimbursement but still only for a part of my damage.
