Completely happy with Halong Aclass Legend cruise
We did 2 days/ 1 night Halong Bay tour and were completely satisfied with staff, views, food, weather, boat, everything… Our guide Luca was very professional and friendly and we were well taken care of.

A Really great family holiday
We have just returned to the UK after a memorable family holiday in Vietnam. Taking two small children half way round the world to an Asian country was a little daunting to be honest but we need not have worried. Everywhere we went the people were friendly and made such a fuss of our sons. Blonde hair causes white a stir here. The best part of the holiday as a family experience was the cruise that we took in Halong Bay with Alisa Cruise Halong Bay. We booked for three days with two nights to be spent on the boat. It was an amazing experience with top class service and facilities. The cabins were really good and the food was as well. We even had a jacuzzi in ours. The children were so excited and loved the cave that we visited. The cruise was excellent with plenty to keep the boys occupied and relaxing evenings for us drinking cocktails and talking with fellow travellers. I cannot recommend this excellent cruise highly enough, brilliant job and wonderful helpful staff.

Stellar, Stellar, Stellar. Stellar service. Stellar crew with all the jokes hahah! Stellar excursions. They let you do your thing but also have a whole schedule for you to follow if you really want to experience all that Halong bay has to offer. My mates and I had a blast and met some pretty awesome people a long the way. Two thumbs way up.

Can’t beat Stellar ship for price and quality.
The A class Stellar cruise halong was practically brand new and it was honestly impressive compared to some of the other boats we saw while cruising. The staff here is laugh out loud fun and made us feel like we were in our second home, except it was in Vietnam! Can’t recommend thus cruise enough and if we ever come back to Halong bay The halong Stellar cruise is where we will be on!

Legend by name Legendary by experience
Cruising through the beautiful scenery of Halong Bay in Northern Vietnam has to be one of the highlights of our wonderful Southeast Asian vacation. The colors and constantly changing views left memories that will live long in the mind. The boat was terrific, a real surprise. It was five star all the way. The tours were not really buy thing, I just loved the time spent on board, relaxing on the sundeck amid the most memorable scenery imaginable. My beloved Canada has some incredible countryside of which we are very proud. Vietnam should feel the same way about this place.

Just have a blast.
Intimate rooms, perfect meals and dining areas. I know people like to complain about having to pay for drinks or whatever on the criises at Halong, but man, you’re in Vietnam, and they are still cheap compared to most anywhere else! You’re on a beautiful ship, live a little! Loved the squid dishes and could have stayed on the beach of these jade green waters for a lifetime. Thanks A Class and Stellar crusie halong bay!!

Aclass Stellar provides a stellar holiday
This cruise was wonderful for our family and children. We Dutch like our sailing and cruising through such beautiful scenery was a great experience. We have nothing like this wonderful scenery back home. The kids were excited to be on such a big boat and it was so relaxful for us. Next time we book for longer for sure. The staff on this Halong Bay cruise were very good and loved helping our kids to enjoy their time.

Solo travels and perfect relaxation. Learn about the history!
My second time taking A Class’ Stellar cruise in halong, and it’s consistent. I can say that for sure. Skipped the caves and the kayaking and just lounged around and truly enjoyed the sites. I was reading about the history of the region and all about the myths of the dragon that carved out this land. So much history and mystery to Halong Bay. Let’s hope it stays this way forever.

A nice change of pace after a long time of traveling.
This experience was seamless as we had been having a tough time traveling all over SEAsia. Most cruises seem to go to all of the same destinations, but Aclass Legend Halong had more options to venture off and do fun excursions. Everyone spoke with fine English and it was very easy to ask questions and make requests. Transportation to and fro was relaxed, for the most part. Would take again if in Halong.

Top class cruise service
From the moment we stepped onto the ship and were greeted by Mr. Tom, we felt very loved and at utmost comfort. Highly recommend the 2D1N Premium room on the Aclass Legend Cruise Halong, view from the room is breathtaking and great for taking pics as well. We were kept occupied all the time with activities like boating to the floating markets, wine party on the cruise, visit to the surprising caves and hands-on cooking session. Food was great and excellent customer service provided onboard. The staff went out of the way to prepare amazing vegetarian dishes for us. Absolutely loved the hospitality! Strongly recommend the Aclass Cruises!Strongly recommend the Aclass Cruises!

Beautiful and luxurious
We really enjoyed the cruise in beautiful surroundings. The service was outstanding. The food was excellent. Staff were very attentive at all times and really made us feel comfortable. The accommodation was luxurious and simply perfect. Thanks to the cruise manager and his staff. We liked the good balance between relaxation on deck and activities. This is a MUST when visiting Ha Long Bay. If we ever come to Ha Long Bay again, this is the way to enjoy the nature as its best.

Most beautiful scenery
My wife and I visited Halong Bay and took the cruise offered by Stellar cruise. We had an excellent time as the entire itinerary was well organized. The service of all the staff and the cruise manager were outstanding. My mom is a vegetarian and the chef specially prepared an excellent vegetarian meal for us. We also had a 2-yr old boy travelling with us, and the staff were very accommodative, which made our holiday a lot easier. We highly recommend this Halong cruise to all who plan to visit Halong Bay, VIetnam.

Thank you Aclass Legend.
Very helpful and friendly staff. They were truly genuine and helped to shape our experience into an unforgettable memory of Halong bay. The restaurant was impressive and they seemed to provide a lot of different options for people that maybe didn’t want the same as everyone else. Definitely worth the sticker price. Clean and new. Would recommend to friends and family.

No complaints, great experience!
This itinerary was the best idea we had! We went with a three-day, two-night trip. The Halong Aclass Legend was impressive and as advertised. Luca was a stellar guide. Sunset parties for the win! Wifi was available a surprising amount, which helped with some work I needed to do. Food was good, wine was a bit expensive but to be expected in Vietnam. Weather was fine! Thanks guys!

Don’t think twice, just head to halong!!!
2 Days and one night on the Aclass LEgend was LEGENDARY!!! One of the most insane areas of Vietnam to experience you have to see it to believe it. Fine dining, cooking class, tours, kayaking, cave visit all inclusive for a reasonable price. We highly recommend our guide Peter. His knowledge is amazing, welcoming and the presentation awesome. Definitely enough activities to do even if going longer!

Fantastic, above expectation. Love Vietnam!
Halong bay is a fantastic attraction and I am still blow away. Aclass cruises, nobody have I seen have the service that we received. Tom Cruise! Haha! Very knowledgeable and helpful and went out of his way to assist and guide us. Thanks sp much Tom!!! The vietnamese people have been so friendly and helpful. I am so impressed with the quality of the cruise. Boat was impressive, our clean cabin had an ensuite bathroom with a shower and toilet. It had excellent air-conditioning, a mini bar and safe. The meals were beyond satisfying. I love vietnamese food. So tasty and natural. The staff on Aclass legend cruise halong were very friendly and helpful. Anyone who caught our eye greeted and they went out of there way to talk to us and get to know us. They arranged activities such as happy hour, cooking class, squid fishing, swimming and so on. Just wonderful. We walked through this amazing cave called surprise cave – well worth it. We visited a floating village and bought grapes from a boat vendor. Some of the best customer service we have ever received!

Amazing Two-Day Cruise
We booked on a very pleasant, relaxing, 2D cruise. The welcome reception was awesome. The cruise started with a very nice lunch. Lots of choices. There were two shore excursions on the first day; one to the caves and the second to a small beach. There was a spring roll making session before dinner. Dinner was a set menu. We’re in Vietnam so we would have preferred Asian style, but I think were in the minority. Our room was very comfortable, in fact, luxurious. We had another short excursion in the morning before breakfast. Another great assortment of food. All in all very nice. But the drive to Halong Bay was long and slow as the roads were disrepair. Journey by private car is recommended. Fully recommend Halong Stellar Cruise.

Really enjoyed our time on board
I thoroughly enjoyed our time on Halong Aclass Legend cruise while sailing through Halong Bay in Vietnam. The area is really pretty and the boat was excellent. I loved the little trips that they had organised. We visited a cave and a floating village then went to see how pearls are made. Everywhere we went the people were kind and friendly. Vietnam must be one of the best kept secrets in the travel business.

Class Cruising
I was not sure from name Aclass first, but this really was A-class cruise trip! The boat is a full-on 5-star floating hotel to be honest. Boat was very comfortable, a really comfortable bed too which I was not expecting. The facilities of Halong Aclass Legend Cruise are superb. We saw caves, lagoons, floating villages and beautiful beaches. The kayaking was a great way to spend an afternoon, worth every penny and I would definitely do it again in future.

I just got back from my Vietnam holiday… Top times, I wish I was back there now, apart from the UK being bloody freezin now I do genuinely miss Vietnam and especially beautiful Halong!!! The boat was way cool. I had great times with the staff there, really great people. The kayak trip was great. We went into a lagoon under a tunnel in the rocks. Amazing views. The meals were good and fairly big portions too, loads to eat and very good quality. Cheers lads, nice one!!
