A Perfectly Emotional and Joyful Day

I never thought I'd be so emotional on my wedding day. Thanks to Indochine Cruise and Ms. Tu, my special day was filled with joy and unforgettable moments. The live saxophone and guitar music created an amazing atmosphere during the reception, and the DJ kept the energy alive all night. The team's dedication and passion made it all possible. I'm incredibly grateful for the experience and would highly recommend Indochine Cruise to any couple planning their dream wedding.

Excellent

Excellent organisation and timing for the activities offered. Amazing attention to special food request: they provided a whole vegan meal even when a buffet with some vegan options was available. The staff has been very professional and ready to answer any question or request. Would suggest the experience to everyone travelling to Halong bay.

Romance and Adventure

We're grateful for Dương and the Indochine Premium team's outstanding service throughout our wedding journey. From the breathtaking sunset ceremony to the adventurous post-wedding activities like kayaking and caving, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the exceptional food and the charming bohemian-themed decor. The result was an incredible celebration that blended romance and adventure perfectly. It was everything we dreamed of and more.

Highly recommended, great food, luxury and service

I booked the premium cruise with my wife after comparing many different tour options on Google. I picked it based on the tour itinerary and room photos provided. The ship interior was very nicely decorated and luxuriously furnished. The hotel transfer, sales operator, tour staff (namely Ethan), cruise manager and ship staff were all super friendly and welcoming. The offshore excursions were so much fun and got to see some amazing sights. We were pleasantly surprised with the dinner menu with high quality steak, mussels, and lobster! We would definitely book with Indochina Sails again

Best. Boat. Ever.

It was absolutely amazing! The crew is so friendly and attentive, especially Ethan. The atmosphere is amazing, enjoying the sunset on top of the boat with the beautiful landscape was perfect. It is difficult to decide where to relax - on your own balcony, in the Jacuzzi or on the sundeck. Wow!! Thank you so much for this stunning experience!

It was wonderful

It's truly an extraordinary experience. The very first notable mention here is room. Not only is the room spacious but it is also super clean. The facilities in the room are great as well. the cable tv had premiere league so i didn't miss the super sunday match (the tv can provide english commentary as well!). The off-cruise activies kayaking, climbing and swimming are top-notch, very fun to join. Another upside of this trip is that all the activities are optional so if you want to ẹnoy yourself at the ship, you can go to the sundeck to breathe the air here, very freshing, believe me. Besides, the service is on class of its own. Big shout out to the managers, mr.captain, Ethan, Smiley, Taichi-man and other staff. They are super friendly and willing to hear your problems. All in all, you won't regret any single penny spending on it.

Wonderful stay
The cruise is everything you can dream of, not only the rooms are very spacious and clean but it also provides a wide range of activities to enjoy your time there. In addition, the dinner and in general every meal are delicious and they take rigorously into account any allergie or intolerance so you can enjoy without any worry.
The crew is very friendly, profesional and they speak perfect english. Especially Ethan who was very kind at all times made sure we had our best time.
We would recommend without any doubt this cruise and we wish to come back in the future.

An Unforgettable Wedding

We're grateful for Dương and the Indochine Premium team's support throughout our wedding planning journey. They were always there to assist us, even during the most challenging moments. The seasonal floral arrangements added a special touch that perfectly matched the beauty of Ha Long Bay. The result was a truly unforgettable celebration with stunning views and seamless coordination. We couldn't have asked for more.

Faultless in every way!

This experience will undoubtedly now be one of the highlights of our lives. The boat is beyond beautiful. The staff are adorable. The food is Michelin level and the beauty of Halong Bay took us on a fairytale experience. We were so sad leaving. Everything about this cruise is exceptional. Book the room with the bath, you won't regret a penny you spend on this tour. It exceeded our expectations in every way. I spent hours agonising over what cruise to do and I’m so glad this popped up for me and I chose it. Don't look beyond this tour!!!

Once in a lifetime experience

As soon as you step onto the ship, you are hit by the beauty of the boat. It is a boutique boat that can hold up to 100 passengers. It is big enough for all amenities, but small enough to appreciate the extras that are provided. Eaton, David, and Bryan ensure that everything runs smoothly. The staff are so helpful and go out of their way to ensure the stay is seamless. The food is spectacular and the chef is accommodating to all dietary needs (vegan, gluten free). The excursions are out of this world…swimming, kayaking, hiking are provided to enhance the experience. I 100% recommend this ship. The only downfall is that cruise is a maximum of 2 nights.

What a great experience

What an amazing experience and such a beautiful boat and fabulous staff. We were very lucky as they cancelled all cruises and tours the day after we left due to the Typhoon, and we met some people afterwards who were so dissapointed, and I can totally understand as its an experiance you need to take when your in Vietnam. We had a Junior Cabin, which had a massive bedroom with small seating area, a huge bathroom with roll top bath, twin sinks and great shower with our own separate balcony. Apart from the fact the boat takes you back to old world elegance, the views and the sunset is to die for, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was exceptional,both at the luchtime buffet and the evening meal. All I can say is, it was one of the highlights of our holiday.

10 out of 10

This cruise was above all our expectations. The scenery and excursions speak for themselves, but the service on board was exceptional. JP and his team did an amazing job making us feel warmly welcomed, and cared for through our 2 nights / 3 days. We travelled as a family of 4, with one of our son's being physically disabled, and the crew went above and beyond to help us out. We would highly recommend this cruise to anyone.

An excellent tour

My fiancee and I loved this tour, 10/10.

The food was delicious, the activities were heaps of fun. Coco, our tour guide was fantastic - knowledgeable, funny and extremely accommodating and attentive. The scenery along the river was incredible. We particularly loved kayaking to a private beach and going swimming; a private bbq on a secluded beach; and the tour of the fishing village.

It felt like we had our own piece of paradise. We highly recommend doing this tour with this company.

Amazing stay in Lan Ha Bay

My boyfriend and I took an overnight cruise around Lan Ha Bay with Indochina Sails. Adorable experience! We had a great time kayaking in the bay with stunning scenery all around us and doing Tai Chi at sunrise. The tour offers many other activities, such as exploring a cave and swimming in the bay, but the main highlight is the scenery: absolutely stunning, especially during sunrise. The boat is very recent, our room was super comfortable with a nice balcony and the staff and food are 5*.

Exceeded expectations!

Indochine cruise, Halong Bay - exceeded expectations! We had Exec Suite at front of boat and it was stunning! The decor within the room was just gorgeous, huge bathroom / double sinks / full size bath plus separate shower. Lovely long balcony as well. Food was great and very well organised. Only 85 people on board so loads of room for everyone. The scenery in Halong Bay didn't disappoint despite the foggy weather. We opted for the kayak experience to the light / dark cave - loved it! Also did the cave next morning on Cat Ba Island - can be a bit dangerous as some of the cave is extremely low - hubby was on hands and knees at one point! Also quite a lot of steps to reach entrance so not for anyone with mobility issues. Overall - very good and would recommend if looking for a cruise over 2 days / 1 night

Look no further! Top Ha Long Bay experience - memories for a lifetime

This newly renovated vessel is absolutely stunning; the staff is friendly, kind, and the food is delicious!

There are many options for overnight cruises on Ha Long Bay, but this cruise is the best choice. Here are the 3 main reasons you’ll want to book this cruise over others:

1. The boat, it is newly renovated and beautifully appointed. The rooms, the public spaces, and the restaurant are stunning. I cannot say the same for the vast majority of boats I saw out on the water with us.

2. The food! This boat is not cheap, but you are treated to a very premium experience. The food is delicious, with a wide variety. The 6-course dinner was a highlight, and the staff were very attentive and professional during service.

3. The views, they are exceptional; our vessel, when parked, seemed to have a more private location than many of the other boats. This made a big difference, allowing our view to be of the gorgeous landscapes, rather than a bunch of other tour boats. In my opinion, it’s worth the extra $100 per person to not be parked amongst all the other low-cost boats.

Lastly, the staff, in general, really made for an amazing memory. They greet you with waves as you arrive, are incredibly attentive during your stay, and bid you farewell as you depart. Nam, one of the team leaders, was incredibly hospitable, helpful, and professional.

Thank you for a memory we will remember for a lifetime!

Perfect exploration of Ha Long Bay

We loved our 2 nights, 3 days on this cruise to Lan Ha Bay and Halong bay. The boat and junior suite were very well appointed and large. The food was delicious, whether it was buffet or set menu depending on the meal- there were plenty of options. Wine was very well priced as well which surprised us. The cruising along the bay was very special: morning fog made it a mysterious landscape and some clearing in afternoon for kayaking and bicycling excursion was perfect as not too hot. This was very relaxing part of our 3 weeks journey in Vietnam and highly recommend it.

Best Ha Long Bay cruise!

If you're planning on visiting Ha Long Bay and do it the right way then Indochine Cruises are perfect! We did the 2 day/1 night cruise and it was incredible! This was our 3rd time in the bay, all with different companies and this one was by far the best one. The boat is huge, super well maintained and clean and the rooms are actually very big for what you'd expect in a boat. The balconies are big enough for 2 people to enjoy some Ha Long Bay breeze. All the staff were nice, helpful and funny, always trying to make us have the best experience possible. For activities we went to caves on Cat Ba island, went on a boat ride in a bay and even learned how to squid fish! Highly recommend Indochine for your Ha Long Bay experience!

Amazing days at the Halong Bay

We had an amazing time at the Cruise. I went with my parents, husband and some friends. There were many options for every kind of interest. Like when we went for kayaking, my parents could go on a small boat, where they show you the same tour around the bay. The ship gave me the feeling, we where at the elegant titanic time. The sunset and the Night at the bay were wonderful, we had nice drinks up on the deck. The food was great and the staff was always helpful. The rooms are so big, we had one with a balcony and I found the room, better then in a hotel.

Hello,my name is Rot and i’m am Travel Blogger im Vietnam. I had a great experience with my family last November. I was on the cruise 2 days 1 night, on this there are delicious food, fresh seafood and especially the staff is very friendly. The scenery in Lan Ha Bay is so excellent, standing on the top of the boat I can admire the whole scene here. In addition, I also got to go kayaking, night squid fishing… a very memorable trip, I will come back one day not far away.
