We booked the cruise at the last minute through our hotel and it was a great experience ever. We can’t say enough good things about the crew on Mon Chéri. They were excellent, friendly and attentive, they took great care of us all the time. Our room was very comfortable and clean, with great view to outside. Kayaking and cave excursion were both interesting and fun. We loved our cruise and would certainly come back!

We had the most amazing time during our visit to halong bay. The boat was small with beautiful decoration. We never tired of sitting out on balcony and just watching the beautiful scenery drift by. The crew was fantastic, very attentive and friendly. We definitely loved this boat and we will recommend in future to other guests.

We booked a 2 day, 1 night cruise in Halong Bay with Mon Chéri boat and it was one of the best decisions we have made. It took us only 2 hours drive to Lan Ha Bay including a short break at the crafts center for toilet and shopping. The boat was at the perfect size. The cabin was lovely and spacious for a cruise with well-equipped bathroom. The staffs were super friendly and attentive, they made everything become easy. We really enjoyed all the activities (swimming and kayaking in Three Peach beach area, boat rowing to Dark and Bright cave, …). We will definitely come back and do this again.

Thanks to Mon Chéri cruise and your team. We had a great and memorable time in Lan Ha Bay forever. It was a regret that I could book 3 day 2 night cruise instead of 2 day 1 night. The boat was very charming with just around 20 guests on boat. The itineraries were really well organized so we were not rush to join. Our cabin was lovely with jacuzzi, bath tub and private balcony. The staff was always hard-working, funny and kind. The most activity I like on this cruise was the best dinner with Vietnamese tradition music play. I would definitely choose Mon Chéri if I come back!
