Wish we had booked longer!

If you're looking for a Ha Long Bay overnight cruise, this is the one!We booked a two day cruise. Meals were good. Not very authentic Vietnamese, but accommodating to people of all flavors. Dont be afraid to ask for more. They are more than happy to oblige. Great for small intimate groups. The rooms were clean and comfy. The only complaint was it took quite long to get them cool, and they hardly got cool enough. There was a cooking class also. The music band played during dinner. We really wish we had done the 3 day cruise.

A beautiful boat and staffs with heart!

We took a 2night/3day trip. The cruise was immaculate and beautifully arranged. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The food was fantastic.The weather cooperated! But the best thing was the staffs, I think. They were so friendly, so hard working and so genuinely dedicated to doing a good job. This is a luxury cruise experience and it is affordable. If you have the chance, try it!

Beautiful views, modern facilities & superb service

We booked a two day cruise and would highly recommend it. The service on the cruise was fantastic. Our room was modern and spacious, with a balcony which was a great spot to sit down and admire the view. Meals were tasty & very generous (5 courses!). We really enjoyed the tours (kayaking, and to the Hospital Cave on Cat Ba) with a knowledgeable guide. There are also a range of activities to take part in on the ship, and we'd recommend taking part in as many as you can as they were all fun (in particular, squid fishing on the first evening was great). The whole staff team were consummately professionals.

Thanks for a great trip

We stayed for 3 days - 2 nights on the Mon Chéri cruise. The third day is a must!!! We went deeper in the bay on the day boat, biked on Cat Ba island to reach the small village Viet Hai. Because we were only two for the middle day, we hiked on the mountain with our amazing guide Binh to get the best view on the bay! The lunch on the boat was delicious and authentic (seafood, barbecue, soup, vegetables and fruits). The crew (all from Cat Ba) was very welcoming and warming. A big thank to Cuong, Lich, Hoa and also the chef, Luyen, for the delicious food on the day boat!!

Premium experience

We arrived at the boat to be greeted by the crew waving to us and their hospitality never ended until we got back in our car to return to Hanoi. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The meals were perfect and the activities were well organised. A very enjoyable couple of days (we did the 2 night cruise) and would recommend it to anyone half interested in seeing this beautiful Halong Bay. Mon Cheri is definitely 5 star.

The 5 Star trip

My just-married wife and I decided to take in a 2 night/3 day Halong Bay Cruise whilst visiting Vietnam on our honeymoon, and everything about the Mon Cheri Cruise was absolutely 5 star.The staff were very friendly and attentive to all our needs and desires. Lovely surprises were in store for us, as the staff had decorated our room to mark our occasion, and also surprised us by dimming the lights at dinner on our first evening, and presented us with a celebratory wedding cake. Brilliant touches Mon Cheri !!!The itinerary was also excellent. Plenty to do, and loaded with variation.Would definitely recommend this boat to my friend if they are considering a cruise in Halong Bay.

A hidden gem

I was impressed about Halong bay with Mon Chéri cruise. From timely pick-up to drop-off by a Limousine, everything was smooth and very well organized. The rooms are spacious, luxurious and comfortable. The crew was super friendly and helpful, especially a waiter who name Bon was doing great. Highly recommend!

The cruise was beautiful. Our room was special with a private balcony where we can enjoy the perfect sunsets (and sunrise). The food was incredible and the activities lots of fun. We did 2night/3day and I wish it was longer. I had a full body massage with hot stones and after that I felt so good. I loved it!I will suggest to add more interactions with locals at Cat Ba island, to know more about their lives and make this trip more cultural and interesting.

5 stars, the perfect choice

We have a 2-day cruise with Mon Cheri. The service, as so often in Vietnam, is just incredibly good. We were picked up with a luxury bus (on time) and could enjoy the ride in leather seats and free Wi-Fi. Already on arrival, the employees waved to us and at lunch time we knew what a great choice we met. For lunch there was already a 6 course menu; from shrimp to spring rolls to chicken everything was there. What I remembered most positively was the fact that it was still loose in terms of dress code (wearing shorts at dinner). The ship itself was still very new and to the complete satisfaction. From the upper deck you had a beautiful view of Halong Bay. The cabin was a dream. With only 1 night you did not know what to do first. There was also a cooking class, night fishing, kayaking and a cave tour.As a farewell there was even a cashmere scarf. As a result, there can be only 5 stars here!
