Nice experience. Fun to try fishing squids!

If you’re going there for local food, the choice won’t be huge. In any case, the food was really good!

friendly staff food are excellent in every meal

only a few activities and too less spots to explore

Rooms were okay. We had hoped to do some kayaking but it wasn't in the itinerary. Prices of drinks are expensive but the food (that is included) is really good.

The food the room, everything was perfect

Nothing

It’s outstanding from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.

Nothing

Comfortable rooms, excellent bathroom, amazing views and good food overall

Some things that were listed before like massages and happy hour were not available on board because it was low season I guess.

We did the 2 night cruise. The trip on a smaller day boat to the less crowded Lan Hà bay on the second day is the highlight of the cruise

Vegetarian food options are limited!

ship was good clean , full of facilities

roundtrip shuttle bus wasn’t comfortable at all. and they charged 3% extra for card payments

We had the best time from start to finish! Beautiful boat with great facilities and really friendly and attentive staff! Great excursions to islands and caves in the Bay. We were there for New Years Eve and they really went above and beyond to make the experience really special. Highly recommend to anyone looking to explore Halong Bay.

Indochine Sails Cruise was a great experience respecting the boat, the service, and the beautiful room.

The transfer from the hotel is a rip off. They pick you up way too early. The drop you in a pearl shopping center for half an hour under the pretext of a restroom stop. Then you have another hour waiting at the pier before boarding. The return wasn't better, since we had to wait for almost an hour at the pier before we were picked up. The cruise made two stops for visits: Ti Top Island and surprise beach. Both were extremely crowded and not that enjoyable. I didn't feel I got the best out of Halong Bay in this cruise. I missed some kayaking or visiting some less crowded island. On the second day we just returned the same way we went the day before. By the way, the cruise starts at 12pm and returns at 11am. Please don't call it a 2-day cruise.

size, comfort and buffet selection

dinner

We had a booking for another cruise which wasnt full, so they upgraded us to the superior category. Also, I am a vegan and the staff was very careful to show me what I could and couldn't eat and even cook something special for me. The program was well organised and they organize a transfer bus from and to Hanoi. Highly recommendable!

we had a full boat for us with a crew of 6 people who were all wonderful.

Staff is lovely. Wonderful experience.

The ship and rooms are very clean. The food was good. I really loved the kayaking - that was our favorite activity. We did it just before sunset so it was very peaceful and the lighting was beautiful for photos. The itinerary is good. Enough to keep you busy but not too much - you can still relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I also really enjoyed that this ship was quiet, had a relaxed atmosphere that is good for couples. (There was another cruise out on the bay that played their music so loud, I was happy to not be on one of those ships). Our English-speaking guide, Tung, was very helpful and friendly.

Even though it was a smaller boat, my husband and I really enjoyed our stay. We were the only ones there (including the crew) and it just made our honeymoon a lot more special. We had the whole place to ourselves. The staff were also very helpful and made sure our stay was an amazing one. Special shout-out to Eric for being so great!

Overall everything was amazing. The downside would just be that The room was just a bit dusty and the drinks can get a bit pricey.

Balcony id not usable. I paid more to be able to sit in a chair and table in the balcony but there’s no space nor chairs. The photos in Booking don’t show the balcony. Staff doesn’t speak great english. Food isn’t great. Drinks are super expensive onboard, sort of an abuse. I suppose that for the same price you can get better, but don’t know since is the only one I tool.

Everything. It was excellent.

We arrived back at Port at 10.30 on day 2. So shorter than expected and it's a bit of a push to say it's a 2 day cruise. Less than 24 hours.
