Magnificent beauty of Halong and Lan Ha Bay!

It was my first time staying with Mon Cheri cruise on Halong Bay and I was treated with great effort and hospitality. The food was brilliant and the crew was not so crowded so I always had my own private space. Lan Ha Bay was also amazing, calm waters were perfect for swimming and kayaking.

And the people who worked there were so nice and helpful. They always had a smile on their faces and made sure we had everything we needed. It felt like being part of a big happy family.

Perfect trip as before

Last year I experienced a 2 day 1 night itinerary on the Mon Cheri cruise. It was a nice trip for me. So this year I decided to choose 3 days and 2 nights and the one thing I can say is “It’s perfect”. I prefer 3d2n over 2d1n because it has more time to explore the beauty of Halong Bay and take part in more onboard and offboard activities. The food, the facility, the staff… Everything is perfect. Highly recommended!

Great trip!

The trip was organized well from start to finish. The room I chose is the ocean suite connecting the door, which was the same as the picture and the view balcony was amazing. Brunch was not as good as lunch and dinner but the food was overall good. The staff is caring, it makes me feel comfortable. Great trip!

Many exciting activities - Nice journey!

We stayed for 2 nights. There were many activities such as kayaking, swimming, cycling, caving, fishing, etc. We love the trip to the village and kayaking the most. Swimming on the second day was nice. The food was average. Expect better food for 5-star quality.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Lan Ha Bay. The jacuzzi was a great way to relax after a day of exploring the beautiful scenery. The mini golf course was also a fun diversion for the kids. While my husband loved the top deck bar and lounge. Especially, the cold Tiger beers after sunbathing and swimming all day!

Everything we expected and MORE!

The cruise is world class. The rooms are spacious and have enormous windows that gave almost panoramic views of the karst mountain formations in Halong Bay. The service is 5-star and all the activities were great. We particularly enjoyed canoeing and rappelling! The staff is very professional. The best part is that Mon Chieri upgraded our room for free! To top it all off, the company gave us a call after the cruise to say they will send a special gift to us at our hotel in Hanoi!”

We wish we could have stayed longer

It’s school break in the US so we decided to visit Halong Bay as a family. The cruise was actually recommended by a friend of my dad who had nothing but praises for Mon Chieri. It was a great bonding experience for everyone so we’re thankful we decided to go. The cruise was well organized - with very friendly staff, world-class facilities, and great food on board. Excellent choice of activities too. The only regret we had was we only booked the 2-day package. We felt like we missed some of the attractions and activities that Halong has to offer. Hopefully we can come back soon!”

For the price we paid, this cruise can’t be beat!

It was incredible, the amount of food served was exceptional and absolutely delicious. Top-notch facilities , the room we had was clean, comfortable and spacious. The top deck was perfect for relaxation with plenty of loungers. The cost for cruises in Halong bay are quite steep, but considering this is one of the most reasonable options, it was perfect for our family! The tour was breathtaking, seeing all the limestone islands and we get to kayak in such a tranquil area of Lan Ha Bay was simply amazing!”

The boat was exquisite. New, clean & finely decorated. Everything looks exactly as they were in the photos. The staff was very accommodating and the food was delightful to say the least. The activities were great: swimming, kayaking, squid fishing, cooking class, cave exploring etc. You can also arrange transfer to/from your hotel in Hanoi.”
