We just finished our second trip to Ha Long Bay, the first being with Catherine cruises, and our only regret is not opting for a longer journey. Traveling with teenagers can be tricky, but they absolutely enjoyed the excursions and the food. They also had a wonderful time interacting with Julie, who was dedicated to making our experience seamless. Julie was incredibly attentive and accommodating to all our family’s needs. Our tour guide provided great insights, and everyone had a good time on the excursions, despite the less-than-ideal weather. The ship itself is beautifully furnished, and the meals were outstanding. We are eager to return for a longer cruise and will definitely request Julie as our butler once more.
The Four Promises
Book the boat. We cover the rest.
Four things we put in writing on every booking — because the cruise line won't.
Weather Cover
If weather forces a change, your concierge reaches you 72 hours out — before the news does — and handles every rearrangement. Premium adds priority rebooking on an equivalent-or-better vessel.
Sailing Guarantee
If your vessel cancels for any reason, we place you on an equal-or-better ship, same dates — or a full refund plus credit. Your trip sails either way.
Price Guarantee
See a lower public price for the same cabin and date after booking? We refund the difference. On Premium, your rate is protected and resolved through an upgrade rather than a transaction.
Concierge Guarantee
Every detail, as promised — or made right. We watch over your trip and fix issues before you notice. No claim forms, no arguing.

We recently had a delightful 3-day, 2-night journey on this stunning super yacht. Our butler, Mike, made the experience truly memorable with his attentive and friendly service. Mike went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We were accommodated in the Royal Suite, which offered ample space and comfort, complete with an expansive private deck. I strongly suggest indulging in this larger accommodation.
