A day and night in dream
It far exceeded my expectations. The whole organization from the reception at the port, the boat trip and the welcome on the boat were impeccable.
The boat has the comforts of a 4 star hotel, impressively. The food service, the navigation, the happy hours, the Tai Chi class, together with the guide were perfect.
Once being at the bay I traveled in bamboo boats to floating houses where local people live. A super recommended program with a level of excellence in all the details.

Pleasant cruise
The ship was very good. The cabins were not very spacious, but they had a good bathrooms. The foods served on board were exquisite. The excursions were interesting. Also the crew was very friendly. They also practiced taichi half an hour in the morning. Worthy!

Ideal place to visit
Cruising Halong Bay was priceless! Yes, the lovely crew, the interesting foods and the activities as well.
It is better to choose 2 nights than 1, because extra visits were made only in the night 2, including a kayak ride, impressive. The most beautiful thing we saw in all of Vietnam.

Impeccable !
You can not go through Hanoi, without escaping to Halong Bay … love that place .. The cruise … impeccable, comfortable rooms, very friendly staffs .. foods 100% excellent … I think the best dishes of Vietnam were from that cruise.
I recommend staying 2 nights of cruise …. with one I would have felt that I needed a little more ….
I went with friends, although I admit that it is an ideal place to go with a partner …, do not expect to meet a cruise like those in the Bahamas, … because far away … it’s something more peaceful … we came from many days of travel, it came very well … and it would have been nice if there was a dancing night, or some activities beside the cooking classes.

My experience
The Halong Bay was wonderful and the boat turned out much better than expected. Our cabins were on the top floor with a surprisingly large bathroom and very good amenities. The service was very attentive and professional. Sit on the deck and watch the sunset, a real wonder. There were many activities but not essential to have them all, simply navigating the bay all day was enough for me. For example, it was totally unnecessary to visit a grotto that had nothing special, this according to my family because I did not go, I kept reading on the deck completely alone and enjoyed one of the best moments of the cruise.

The staffs were fantastic, they were young but eager to please you. The scenery was breath-talking and amazing. Cruise conditions were perfect, and foods were excellent. The fantastic landscape alone was worth it all.

A fabulous cruise
Halong Bay is a unique place, the most beautiful destination in Vietnam for me and it is worth spending a day or two on tour. The boat was made of wood, very nice and well decorated. The staffs were very attentive and the foods were varied and tasty. After lunch we went to Titop Island which has a small but beautiful beach. Then we went to see an inner lagoon in the center of another island, that was accessed through a cave. Later we anchored near a cave to spend the night and the scenery was beautiful because all the boats had the lights on. In the next morning we did Tai Chi on the deck and then visited a large and interesting cave. Our cabins were very good, they were large and well decorated. On the deck there were hammocks for sunbathing, although we had a rather cloudy and humid weather. All the time they gave us bottles of water for the excursions and they had a great attention to maintain safety of the boat.
I would definitely go back to this magical place because it was a fantastic experience.

Cruise through Halong bay, spectacular!
Within the circuit from north to south of Vietnam, you can not miss a cruise around Halong Bay.
The truth is that we have not experienced other boats, but we liked Indochina Sails a lot, due to its comfort, decoration, exquisite and varied foods, also the affordable prices (you can even enjoy happy hours, 2 x 1, 2 times a day for beers or combos).
The staffs were lovely, very attentive. We spent only one night and we discovered little. If I could travel again, I would try to book 2 nights. 100% recommended.

Excellent choice for something essential in Halong
The package for one night was a bit expensive to me, but the boat was really good, clean and very well organized. The cabins, all exterior, were comfortable with a large bathroom and good air conditioning. The food was very good and special.
The truth is we were delighted. Highly recommended.

FANTASTIC FAMILY EXPERIENCE
One night, two days in a high class cruise. Staffs were amazing, from the captain to the Tai Chi teacher. The rooms were pure luxury, very spacious and with all the services accompanied. The menu come in both quantity and quality. We did not fish a squid but saw several jellyfish (night activity for children). A mini cooking course on the upper terrace at night was also very interesting. The luxury environment to stay.

The best option to see the bay
It was an excellent idea to travel and to know the Halong Bay, which is a real wonder and a must-visit if you are at Vietnam. This floating hotel was comfortable, clean and staffs were charming .

A dream in Ha Long Bay
An exquisite organization and service. Both the cabin and the food were incredible, so were the staffs. We stayed one night and we will remember it the rest of our lives because they are the key to the magical cruise since Ha Long Bay does the rest.
We would repeat without hesitation.

A great visit to Halong Bay
The experience was very good. The room was very well prepared, nothing was missing. Spending the night anchored in the bay and waking up to make a tai chi session surrounded by that landscape was something amazing. Then visit the floating village and a viewpoint. Highly recommended experience.

Dreamlike bay
We stayed one night on Halong Bay with the Indochina Sails.
The food was excellent. On the ship there was even Wi-Fi.
As frame attractions you could go by canoe through the ocean and climb a mountain or relax on the strand.
I highly recommend the Indochina Sails.

Great trip
Arrival and departure was perfect. The drive from Hanoi to Halong Bay took about 4 hours with a 20min stay in a tourist shop. It was not bad though, as they had clean toilets. You do not have to buy anything.
The ship itself was in very good condition. The excursions were nice. The staff understood English and was always very nice.
The food was okay. We would have liked more authentic food. It was very adapted to the West.

Purely natural
Halong bay is probably one of the mindblowingsten places of this earth. And then for two on a junk ….
Hard driving over hanoi for four hours … Laugh … I preferred to read or sleep.
Two days of pure nature, service and cleanliness.
Nice little older cruise, well maintained, good cook and decent service and nature, nature, nature …
We did not want a program, we visited a cave far out of the tourist stream … Fascinating
Thanks to the team of the Indochina.

Transfer was exclusive from Hanoi. Therefore, no evaluation of any settlement through the provider itself. Cruise was in our view in good condition. Overall, looked very nice. Had booked the slightly larger cabins (below) that were comfortable for a ship. Bath / shower were very ok. Even safe and W-LAN on board. Food was excellent. Drinks comparatively expensive (European league). We had 2-days tour booked, which in our opinion was OK. The drive through Halong Bay is very impressive. On the boat it was not too crowded and you had enough space, especially on the sundeck. If available, definitely go by canoe through the bay. Very nice impressions and certainly more interesting than with the group on a boat to the fishing village … lighting conditions in the evening and early morning, of course, dreamlike. Had a stopover on an island with a higher viewpoint. In any case, high there, even if you almost never alone can enjoy the view there. Swimming is – as with such tourist islands not rare – more of a joke. There are enough good beaches on the mainland. Overall, we would recommend the tour thoroughly. Staff was polite and accommodating. From our point of view, there was nothing to complain about. However, from the cooking event described in our travel guide is not expected much. Since fruits were carved – we have saved us and rather enjoyed the great view.
