What a fantastic trip. The service from the staff from start to finish was exemplary. Pick up was a shared limousine van. Pure luxury for the 2.5-3 hour transfer. When we got to the main boat we were served lunch which was beautiful. A great selection for all tastes. Happy Hour was twice a day and the bar man Alex was extremely generous with his portions. My partner doesn’t eat seafood (choice not allergy) and they always provided an alternative without a problem. Tim also served us and he was very helpful, friendly and attentive. I would say they struck the balance perfectly. Emmanuel was our cruise director and a very charismatic man indeed. You’ll certainly enjoy his patter. Our cabin was absolutely amazing. We upgraded to the executive suite and was not disappointed. Although the standard cabins looked amazing too. Finally, what I really liked was there was probably only about 15 people on the boat. It seemed like they spread capacity across their fleet so it did not seem overcrowded. Now to mention the bay. Beautiful. What a vista to enjoy. Could not recommend Orchid Cruises highly enough. BRAVO ALEX, TIM & EMMANUEL Thank you

Cruising on Orchid Cruise 3 through Halong Bay has undoubtedly been the highlight of our Vietnam trip so far. The cruise's exquisite interior, spacious and comfortable room with a balcony offering stunning views, impressed us from the moment we stepped on board. While I anticipated good food and service based on reviews, the actual quality provided by Emmanuel, Elle, and the entire crew far surpassed our family's expectations. It was truly a 5-star experience. Despite our family not being the active type, the well-planned activities were thoroughly enjoyable. Orchid Cruise 3 comes highly recommended by our entire family of six, spanning from teenagers to elderly parents.

Staff were terrific especially Jimmy and Ginny. The big problem was a faulty air conditioner in iour room. When you are paying $900 a night, you expect a working air conditioner. The a/c was off in our room when we arrived. What a terrific greating. The dining room was hot also. Our a/c failed during the night and I woke up in sweat. When we returned from iur day trip (which was good) our room was hot again and I needed to stand on the bed to get cool after restarting the faulty a/c ……do better Orchid! Very poor

My boyfriend and I had an amazing 1 night stay on the orchid premium cruise. The food, service and activities were exceptional and exceeded our expectations. This trip was the highlight of our travels in Vietnam and is a must if you visit. The only thing we would change would be to stay an extra night!!

We did the 2-night cruise, which included a bike ride (or electric cart transport if you prefer) to a village and kayaking and/or swimming from a day boat (while 1-night cruisers were swapped for a new group of 1-night cruisers - very efficient operation!). Overall, the cruise was lovely, the scenery magnificent, the food was good, the staff/service was excellent, and the bike ride was great (nice chance to stretch your legs while seeing some beautiful rural settings on Cat Ba) and the kayaking fun (again, a little chance to exercise, and fun to go through some arches under the limestone islands/structures). We were very sad to see the pollution and garbage in the water near Cat Ba - like big chunks of styrofoam and other visible garbage - which made us stay in the kayaks and forego the swimming. Not sure about the origin of this pollution …perhaps an eco-tourism cruise could be offered to help with clean up to preserve this incredible natural beauty?

Disappointed
Too much touristic. Trying to be club med but it’s not… The staff is not professional. The food is ok but not more than this. The activities is not like they promise. One night was ok but 2 nights is much to much for this experience. The schedule is not with attention to the guests.

Amazing. The Orchid Cruise was so luxurious and relaxing for our 2 night boat cruise around Ha Long Bay. The suits are absolutely beautiful, the staff are all so lovely and will go above and beyond for you. The food was sensational and the whole cruise ran like clockwork with no delays or hiccups. The views are out of this world. Would definitely recommend.

The cruise was absolutely excellent. The staff from the booking process through hotel pickup and the entire cruise were attentive, kind and helpful. The Orchid boat was lovely and the cabins were very large, clean and all had balconies. Halong Bay has stunning views so there is no bad cabin or bad view. The food was also delicious and the onboard service was impeccable from dining to massages to day time activities (bike riding, kayaking, cave dwelling). I wish we could have stayed one more night on the cruise. Special thank you to Anthony, Ana, Andy! It was certainly 5 stars in Vietnam. Now that said, some westerners on the trip did have more complaints but their expectations were a little outrageous as this company did everything to make our experience great. My recommendations to ensure a great time: go during the summer when the weather is better (January was gloomy and rainy the whole trip), use the cruise line’s hotel pickup/drop off service from Hanoi, and sit outside at the waiting facility on the way to the cruise line (the inside smelled bad).
