A different and an enjoyable experience altogether. The package was well worked out. I would have loved to have the sunrise view, which I feel should be included in the package. Vegetarian food option was an enjoyable treat for vegetarians.

Good trip but Ha Long Bay overcrowded

Matthew_L, Jan 2026
The cruise itself was nice enough, nice room and food and Ha Long Bay was incredible. However there are hundreds of boats and cruise ships around which detracts from the experience.

Excellent!

We absolutely loved the halong Phoenix Cruiser. Great itinerary and our tour guide Ding was amazing! Great range of Vietnamese food. We loved it from start to finish! Rooms are basic but we were only there 1 night!

A great value for your money. Old...
