Short but sweet cruise - The guy from the agency was very good he wasn't pushy to sell the highest package. He gave us reasonable price for the trio

Fantastic - It has been a great experience. From the beginning they have been very attentive to us. We were picked up at the hotel in Hanoi and taken directly to the cruise ship. The cruise is very clean with lots of food. Very cool excursions. I recommend it 💯.

Perfect! - It was really a great experience even if at first the weather wasn't great we ended up having the heat and the sun! The rooms and activities were top notch, our guide Sun was super smiley and adorable and so was the whole crew! We were with our parents (6 in total) they loved it! (The red wine was very good ;)!

Great Trip! - Really enjoyed our Halong bay trip. Particularly the kayaking and swimming in such an amazing area. It was very well organised and the staff were all lovely. The food was delicious and fine for a non meat eater. Drinks are of course not included in the fee but were usual western prices. It would be nice to have some kind of itinerary written out for customers. For example Tai chi was at 5.45am and breakfast at 6am. We weren’t quick enough to make it to the cave trip after breakfast so missed it. Had we known the times of things we could have made the trip or not got up for breakfast. The trip is pretty exhausting/a lot of travelling but it isn’t a trip you’d want to miss.

Beautiful HaLong Bay cruise - Lee, the cruise director, was awesome and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. He was so personable, speaks excellent English and was extremely helpful, accommodating any special requests or needs. The whole staff was friendly, smiling all the time and super nice.

Good choice - Staff were very attentive.. boat needed some TLC but over all was ok.. the food was the biggest thing for us it was very local cuisine so mainly fish and if you didn’t eat fish you got the vegetarian option.. we are both big meat eaters so food didn’t work too well. It’s a beautiful location and I’m glad we visited.

Mixed experiences & emotions - Booked via Halong Bay Tours 2 nights ELITE of the Seas 5/6Apr23. Whilst the experience is amazing CHOOSE YOUR ITINERARY VERY CAREFULLY. A 2 nights cruise did NOT take us further out into the Bay but felt more like a 5 star ferry shuttle picking up/dropping off more 1 & 2 nights passengers between our 2 nights stay. This meant we saw the virtually the same as if doing two 1 night cruises. For a UNESCO Heritage Site it is also shocking to see the drifts of rubbish & huge area of garbage in some area. Had we cruised further out our experience wout not have been one of such disappointment. This was voiced by many 2 night guests on board. The ELITE itself is superb, cabins spacious & beds v comfortable. DINING experience is by way of a set multi course menu so there is no choice. Food was presented & served with style (albeit the waiting staff are almost overly polite in their desire to please) One point, if on a 2 night cruise please note that lunch on your 2ND DAY cannot be taken at a lunch time as the restaurant is taken over by 1 night guests having their first meal of their cruise (same as you do) I guess they expect all guests to go on the excursion which I chise not to. Cocktail bar & sun decks top class. A crew member with a drone took some brilliant photos & presented them to us FOC that evening. Plenty of other nice touches too along the way. CONS: Itinerary, can't urge you enough to check it to ensure you cover different water if on 2 nights + Tourism is definitely having an negative impact regarding aforementioned rubbish issue. Lunch day 2 PROS: Elite is fabulous & all staff were polite, charming & utterly delightful. TOP MARKS HERE! Transfers went well. Lastly, would I recommend? Yes, it's worth the visit but based on the itinerary NOT the ELITE or any other boat that doesn't get you to see the real beauty of Halong Bay. TOP TIP!!! DO YOUR HOMEWORK CAREFULLY!!

Not organised - This cruise ended up being really disappointing. It started off negative because we were informed that we needed to meet the bus at 8.30am. We were in the lobby at 8.20am. Hotel staff then told us that someone had come in looking for us 10 minutes before we came down. We then had to email the company to find out what was happening to which we were told "the guide is looking for you." 5 minutes later a tour bus parks itself outside our hotel. We assume its for us and we go to board it. My boyfriend asks the driver if the bus is for the cruise and the driver said it was. As I'm then getting on the the bus to join my boyfriend I have a man who was obviously the tour guide behind me, waving a clipboard at me and shouting, if not screaming very loudly for us to get off the bus. It turns out it wasn't our bus. He continues to shout at us once we are back on the pavement. This left us very shaken up and we went back to the hotel lobby. I then send an email out to whoever was meant to be organising the cruise to explain what's happened. Later on when we actually get on the boat we do not get an apology for the mix-up. However when we finally get picked up, the person collecting us looked annoyed and told us to "come on" as if it was our fault they were behind when we were actually on time. They made no attempt to ring either of us to let us know they were going to be earlier than the agreed time. Halfway through the journey we get told to come off the bus and we get put on another. Again we had no explanation as to what was happening. We just had to hope we were heading the right way. Once it's all sorted and we're on the tender boat to get to the cruise, a large family joins us. They're extremely loud, over-excited and moving all over the boat. They were like this for the 2 days. They were often late for activities, which held everyone else up. Saying that, we were very happy with our room, and the tour organiser was friendly and enthusiastic. It's just the little things that build up that make it a negative experience. The crew members on the boat didn't seem happy at all and the prices of drinks on the boat were extortionate. There was no WiFi at all despite being told there was. It was then suggested that we may not have transport for the way back to hanoi which panicked us but we couldn't do anything about it because of the lack of WiFi. When we get back to the port it turns out we do have transport back but we're not told for another 10 minutes. I could go on more but I'm aware of how long this review is. Perhaps we just got unlucky as the other reviews seem positive.
