Pleasant and well-run

We knew it was going to be quite touristy given the huge popularity of Ha Long Bay, so we were OK with that. It’s a shame the bay is becoming polluted in the process, let’s hope they’ll take better care of it soon. As for the cruise itself, it was nearly perfect: great food and professional service, all very well-run and efficient. If you’d like to see the bay, this here is a great way to do it.

A good way to do Halong Bay

Welcoming staff, comfy beds. Good overall quality of service, we all thought it was really up to scratch. Immensely enjoyable and Ha Long Bay is still worth it, so nevermind the crowds and visit with Maya Cruise! You might consider going for 3 days instead of 2, depending on your budget of course.

Wonderful 3D2N cruise with Johnny

We opted for the 3D2N cruise in Halong Bay with Maya and it was a perfect choice! Our guide Johnny was excellent – provided us with lots of information, help as well as laughter. The ship itself is pretty and professionally run, so expect nothing but high standard on board. As for Halong Bay, it’s as majestic as the legend has it! Don’t look any further than this.

Outstanding service

I decided to go for three days on a Maya cruise and I never regretted it. I was hugely impressed with how professional everything is in this company. Really spotless, nothing they need to change or improve. And of course Halong Bay is one of the most beautiful places on this planet, so it’s really rewarding to go on a leisure cruise like that. I couldn’t be happier about it!

A crazy Spanish family in Ha Long Bay

We went to Ha Long Bay as a big Spanish group – my wife, our three children, my in-laws and of course me! What a trip. Everything about it was really good or even better than that, especially how all the staff members do everything they can to make you feel welcome. We were very pleased to see that all the rooms are big and very, very tidy, and we also loved the beds! Super comfortable, the best beds we had during our holiday in Vietnam. Highly recommended overall!

Amazing cruise in the most beautiful bay in the world

We were visiting a friend in Vietnam and we went to Halong Bay together on a Maya cruise. The ship is really nice, with excellent service and food. Halong Bay is one of the most beautiful places in the world in my opinion, everyone should see it one day!
