Halong Bay was definitely the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. And it was made even better with the 2 day 1 night cruise with Orchid Cruise. The boat was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Our room was incredible bigger than my own bedroom! There aren’t too many rooms so the setting is more intimate. The staff were amazing! Very attentive, fun & friendly. This cruise is a bit more than others we looked at but it was definitely worth it. All excursions were included, the food was delicious and there was just the right amount of activities and free time to enjoy everything. Also this cruise will take you a bit further away than the other cruises so it’s a bit quieter. Highly recommend the kayaking too!

We found the boat to be lovely and the scenery was amazing also. Photos cannot do it justice, you need to experience it. We really loved the boat. Our room was amazing, the food was excellent but most of the all, the staff were super attentive. Mr. T took very good care of us. Fun atmosphere and we liked the relaxed timings governing daily happy hour! Would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to do a Halong Bay cruise. They did a great job of taking us to areas which felt secluded, in what is a very busy area for tourist cruises.

Orchid cruises were fantastic. The service was amazing. Only about 30 people on the boat so it’s very customised. It was our anniversary and at dinner they did a special acknowledgement for us. Unexpected but fun. They know your name. It’s great. Food was good, boat was very nice and activities were great. Ha long bay was spectacular. Definitely worth it.
