Stunning scenery and cuisine
Quentin D, June 2026
We found the cruise to be a great experience for our first visit to Halong Bay. The geology and waterways are stunning. The food on board our boat Victory Star was exceptional. Our your guides and the staff were exemplary. We felt the two nights were needed to see a bit more of the bay away from the hot spots which are very crowded.

Enjoying a cruise in Vietnamese
alanhU7511RZ, April 2026
Hi. We had a great time on the cruise. We enjoyed the day trips off the boat, which I would advise everyone to go on. The food was good, albeit the breakfast was limited. The cabin was large, spotless and had a lovely bath, although the mattress was very hard. The best part of our trip was our host Ruby, she really made our trip! She was friendly, helpful, always available to assist, and very professional. I would say she was 10 /10.

Research your exact boat!
Sam T, March 2026
If the boat was as the photos my review would be better! Unfortunately we chose the trip on images and reviews. I have to say the boat we were on was not featured in the images. My recommendation for anyone booking, ask which boat you will be on do you can research that exact one. What i can say is the crew were AMAZING! We had a great time and were so well loved after. THANK YOU to the crew of Lotus 👌
