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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.
