Stunningly beautiful
Thrilled to have travelled to Ha Long with Orchid Cruise! We couldn’t have hoped for a better trip. Our guide Johnny was excellent – very kind and funny at the same time. All the staff were great by the way, and as for the boat herself – she’s a beauty! You just love every second you spend on board, especially with a setting this marvelous around you!

Thanks so much for this wonderful experience of Halong Bay! I went to the bay with high expectations after hearing so many great things about it, and I was not disappointed. The crew at Orchid Cruise did a fantastic job at everything – never felt so pampered before :)Definitely a big YES from me here. I would do it again if I could!

A trip to Halong Bay was our dream for a long time and we were very happy we finally did it. The ship is very impressive and everything on board is very well arranged – the food, the activities, the rooms. Really professional throughout.My whole family enjoyed the cruise very much – my wife, our kids and me. I can recommend Orchid Cruise with all honesty to anyone!

Honeymoon in Halong Bay
We visited Vietnam for our honeymoon trip and we wanted to have a special something in Halong Bay to celebrate it – and that’s exactly what these guys delivered! They knew how to do everything with taste, so even my husband (who’s not a very romantic person and definitely not a fan of over-the-top celebrations) enjoyed it all a lot. Thanks again for this!

A great way to unwind
I spent three blissful days and two nights on the board of Orchid Cruise, and I think I’m going to cherish this memory for a long time. It was very, very relaxing for me – just staring at the water and all the rocks as we went by, with a book in my hand, on the balcony of my wonderful room. And then going to have some delicious food in the ship’s splendid restaurant. A wonderful way to do nothing and love every second of it!

Well worth the time, travel and money
The scenery is unbeatable and it’s A MUST to spend at least a day/night onboard when in Halong Bay because it’s the best way to really appreciate its beauty and the variety of attractions that it has to offer. We chose this cruise after A LOT of research online and reading itineraries. I’m thankful we picked Peony. They had most of the activities we wanted to do plus they have great facilities and professional staff. We came all the way from Toronto and it was well worth the time, travel and money.”

A world-class cruise from start to finish
I seldom write reviews, but I felt I needed to pen one for Orchid Cruises. We were a group of 4 and it was our first time in Vietnam. Boy, were we glad we booked with Orchid Cruises! It was a small luxurious boat (it was full with 28 pax) but it enabled us to really get to know each other and we all had a blast. Great value for money and Orchid did a magnificent job touring us to one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Everything was top-notch, from the amenities and staff to the food, which was a treat in itself every single time!”

Not a bad prize
I live in Ho Chi Minh City and won the cruise in a prize draw at a big charity event. It was really good. Our flights to Hanoi and two nights in a hotel there were included so it was quite a good prize. I had a few days coming up that I could take off and so went for it. I spend quite a bit of time in Hanoi on business so I just stayed close to the hotel and relaxed. The cruise people picked me up early in the money and transferred me to the Orchid cruise boat, which was fine. Despite living in Vietnam for 3 years this was my first visit to Ha Long Bay and I didn’t know what to expect. I had read a lot of negative stuff about pollution and litter and was a bit apprehensive, but it was not as bad as I expected, though it does need sorting out. It was a good three days though and great to get out of the smog and into some clean air and nice scenery.

Orchid Cruises Are Just Perfect
My wife and I have recently enjoyed a wonderful adventure on board an awesome cruise boat in Vietnam. The place we went is called Lan Ha Bay and I had never heard of it. I don’t know why this bay isn’t world famous, it’s certainly world class. Bai Tu Long Bay was quite wonderful as well! The boat was exceptional. There are only about 20 cabins on board and they are roomy with large windows opening onto private balconies. We booked the cheapest option and it was fantastic. We could only guess what the Orchid exclusive suite must be like. The company collected us at our hotel in Hanoi and took us straight to the quayside. We visited an island called Cat Ba which was really great, stayed two nights and my wife even had a top rate spa treatment on the boat. I stayed in the bar and hit the cocktails! What a trip.

Go with Orchid Cruise!
We went with Orchid Cruise and we definitely feel we made the right decision. Our guide introduced us to the best prices compared to many other luxury cruise lines and it was a no-brainer. The itinerary is unique and different to other trips that don’t visit Lan Ha Bay and its wonderful, isolated beaches. We visited both Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay on this trip, but also another beauty out there, Bai Tu Long Bay! Visited astonishing caves, did kayaking. I would do it all over again!

Genuinely Had an Outstanding Time On Our Honeymoon!
We’re newlyweds that decided to celebrate in beautiful Halong Bay while we were on our backpacking honeymoon. We saw a lot of positive reports and highly recommended reviews about Orchid Cruise Halong Bay lines and decided to give them a shot. They are beyond professional and we felt very safe doing business with them. Not only that we were getting a good deal, but that they were genuinely going to take great care of us, and it showed once we actually arrived to the dock to embark on the ship. WE booked 3 days and 2 nights on the cruise and it was very clean and beautiful that has a large and spaced sundeck, great for photo ops. The cabin is very warm with a big double bed for two of us. And I’d loved the cabin we had arranged because it had windows to view the ocean from our room. We were very happy to sample some fresh seafood and Vietnamese meals on the boat.

Beauty all around, laughter in the bay…..
Thank you very much guys! We booked a single night for Ha Long Bay on the Orchid Cruise ship and we were overwhelmed even with the short amount of time we had how great it all was. The staff leader made us laugh out loud plenty of times, and people were generally just very friendly. Our tour guide mr Khanh made us feel like local people.
