Family Holiday - The staff on the Sapphire cruise were all so caring and amazing. They all worked so hard and really engaged with the guests to ensure they had a great time and some laughs along the way. Luc who was the main tour leader looked after every single person and made us all laugh. The boat itself was fantastic. Beautiful and clean with lots of perfect activities all planned so well. Definitely would recommend the Sapphire cruise and Ha Long Bay.

Unforgettable Halong Bay - Amazing staff, perfect amount (a lot) of food and very well presented (vegetarian very yummy), the views are breathtaking, we loved kayaking, happy hour and the little cooking lesson where we made spring rolls. The room was perfect for us, quality exceeded our expectations as we had hot tub and balcony and it was cheaper than lots of other boats options. You can soak in the hot tub while having a drink watching the beautiful Halong Bay. Karaoke, swimming, thai chi and the bamboo boat have made the 2 days 1 night cruise even better, the staff helped us with everything we needed and they were smiling and very welcoming for the moment we jumped on board till the end. We met fantastic guests from Australia, Vietnam, and Europe and we absolutely loved the staff. Thank you to all the team HOANG the manager, MAX our super tour guide, James Bond the bar manager, the waiters and truly everyone who works on board. Highly recommended

Super nice experience! - An amazing experience, we really enjoyed the cruise and the amazing views. The food on this cruise was very nice, quantities were large and the it was all tasty. My partner is vegetarian and they provided many vegetarian options for her. Mr Hoang and the rest of the staff were all very welcoming and friendly and made the experience even better.

Beautiful Views - An amazing trip. We went for one night 2 day tour. The company picked us up from the hotel, brought us to the pier in a car. Then transferred to a smaller boat where we travelled to the bigger sapphire cruise ship. This transfer is normal for Halong bay cruises. Sapphire cruise is one of the smaller cruise ships but i quite liked that as we had the opportunity to meet others on the cruise. It is an older style boat with wood paneling etc and I loved that. Food is varied and plentiful. Food is included. All drinks, including water and soft drinks are extra. We got a table an paid at the end of the cruise, which can be with card or cash. Just not that the prices do not include VAT and will be added at the end. Two 500ml bottles of water were complementary, any supplemental drinks brough on board were required to pay corkage. The room was really nice. The bed was big and comfortable, facing the window so beautiful views of Halong bay. There were loads of activities on the boat that were all included. There was a kayak trips for 30-40 mins around the bay and spring roll cooking lesson before dinner. Then after dinner there was squid fishing and karaoke. The next morning there was tai chi before breakfast then a local rowing boat to go and explore the caves. We did all the activities and loved them all. However i felt we were on the move all the time and never got the chance to enjoy the ship, just sit on the deck and enjoy the view. If i was to go again i would skip one activity. Staff all had excellent english and were all very friendly.

Great 2 day one night cruise - This is an amazing experience, it is smaller than other boats which makes it a more personable experience so you get involved and chat with other guests. The rooms are lovely we has a balcony cabin with dual aspect which was great when the sun came up. The food is plentiful and excellent quality. The staff were amazing . Activities included making of local spring rolls, kayaking a visit to a local cave and prions less squid fishing. Transport to the boat was great a little snug on our return. All in all a great experience that I would repeat

All around pleasant trip - Very lucky with weather! Kayaking and swimming was nice! Only not as long as we would've liked. Evening programm basically was karaoke, so people who didn't want to sing only had loud music on their relaxing sundeck.

Romantic overnight stay in Halong Bay - We had a very good experience on the Sapphire Cruise. The staff is great, friendly and very helpful. Our cabin was also very good. We came with a bus shuttle from Hanoi, which was also well organized. In Halong Bay we were able to go kayaking, swimming and enjoy the view, and on the morning of the second day we were in a cave.

Horrible experience - What a disappointment! I had already read the previous comments on Ha Long Bay and the Sapphire boat but like everyone we think we will make our own experience. Ha long Bay is extremely polluted and dirty. Few people dare to swim in the bay and I understand them. Even when you kayak you come back with dirty and smelly clothes! The organization of this boat: You leave by bus around 8 am Hanoi and arrive, after a visit to a pearl farm (totally interesting and inappropriate), around 12 pm at the dock. The Sapphire boat is very remote in the bay. After 40 min of small boat you arrive around 1pm on the Sapphire. During the express lunch the boat starts its one hour cruise, then you visit a cave that is absolutely nothing interesting or even looks like a cave, before dropping anchor at 3pm. The boat does not move until 6am the next day. They will tell you that all boats do the same thing but it is totally wrong! Check out at 9:30 then return to the dock at 12:00. We're here to put pressure on you to leave the room. I understand that there are other tourists after us, but a minimum of understanding would not be too much for a service that costs 300€ minimum! In short, if you really plan to visit the bay, forget about this boat because it remains static in the bay. Also the staff is unpleasant and unprofessional. For example, they come to you to claim your money 3 times at the table during the service. Everything is extra. The boat is not luxury contrary to what can be mentioned on the website. I can assure you that there is much better boat than the Sapphire. We even ask you to account after completing the feedback that the manager offers. When paying they count in front of you the tips that the passengers gave... incredible. What matters to them is your money, nothing more. It is absolutely not a cruise but rather to be bored on an old boat. Even the (unpleasant) manager came to tell me that it is not a cruise but stay on a boat to relax and even for 2 hours of karaoke ... What is certain is that I will not come back! It’s just an indecent business. Vomit! PS: I also want to clarify that I made my reservation on Booking.com and that I can not put comments on the site because the boat blocked my access... hats off!
