"HIGHTLIGHT of HALONG BAY VIETNAM"

Overrall rating :

We did the two night trip which I would say should be what everyone should do. It's about a three hour drive from Hanoi to Halong wharf so you really do need two nights here to get the benefit. The boat is fantastic. There's only about 20 rooms, so maximum about 40 people. All tables are reserved for you for all meals and the food is fantastic. Drinks available all day (western prices, but who cares). Plenty of entertainment including off the boat. I think pretty much all the itineraries are the same on each trip, but it is well-planned. The rooms are excellent; great bathroom which is modern and doesn't feel like you are on a boat. Small balcony just enough for two to sit. Terrific view of the limestone islands from every window. The only negative comment I will include is that the beer wasn't very cold. I think they only had Beer Hanoi which is fine, but was always served warm. We still managed to drink it though!

"Best night of the tour"

Overrall rating :

Room on lower deck was perfectly adequate. Small, but with a decent bathroom area. Beds were comfortable. No noise at night - great sleep. Food was the best of the tour. The trip to the caves was fascinating and beautiful. Arranged a hot stone massage in the cabin during the early evening. It was very relaxing. Tai chi at dawn next day - great start to the morning. Row boat around a very few of the amazing islands was amazing. The morning was peaceful and only a few tourists had arrived when we set out. Weather in March was fine and the sun shone through the mist for some of the time.

"Superb on every level"

Overrall rating :

Listed as a 3* cruise junk but if the Victory Star is 3* I can't imagine what 5* must be like! I was apprehensive as I'd read mixed reviews of this boat but couldn't fault our 2 day/1 night cruise in Halong Bay on any level. Huge concern for us was that my daughter has a serious nut allergy but they couldn't do enough to ensure that all her food was nut-free. Also my son and I while not allergic to shellfish simply aren't keen on it. We only mentioned this once on board but they were eager to provide alternatives. Food was delicious and more than plentiful. Other reviews had said that drinks were expensive on board but only compared to the very cheap drinks in Hanoi. Happy Hour started after dinner. 3 of us shared a cabin (3 single permanent beds) and ok, yes it wasn't enormous but what do you expect on a boat? Very comfortable, very clean, air conditioning. Bathroom had its' own window so you could shower with views of the islands! The trips that were included were firstly to a floating fishing village where one of the locals rowed us around their village and round some of the islands in a sampan (flat bottomed rowing boat). We were so hot on our return to the Victory Star anchored nearby and were more than ready to jump in off the back of the boat to cool down. Not great for non-swimmers as this was deep water though so if you have young kids, bring swimming aids. Next morning we got up early for tai-chi on the upper deck followed by a superb breakfast and then a trip to a cave. I wasn't expecting the cave to be so enormous and we were truly enthralled. Yes, it was busy but as we went further into the cave system (we're talking massive cathedral-like caves here), the crowds dwindled. The guides provided by Victory Star were lovely and very knowledgeable. The staff on the boat were overall highly attentive and helpful. Mixture of couples, young family and families with teenagers on our trip. We would certainly do it again but this time definitely for 2 nights. Excellent trip!

"Stunning scenery and the most dedicated and friendly staff we have met"

Overrall rating :

During our trekking around Asia we treated ourselves to an overnight trip around halong bay, we arrived and were greeted by our captain and guide. At this point we found out that we were the only couple on the boat and from then on we were treated like royalty! The food was lovely, always a huge spread with lots of variety...dinner was a BBQ on the top deck, all served with amazingly handcrafted fruit and vegetable flowers. We were shown the local fishing villages and allowed to swim around the boat. The rooms were well equipped and clean, the bed was a little hard but nothing that caused us a problem! The whole trip was extremely well organised and all five members of crew were amazing, would happily have stayed for another few days! A trip that we will never forget! Arranged by Halongtoursonline.com and Halong bay tour, Halong bay cruise

"2 day, 1 night trip"

Overrall rating :

We went on the 2 day 1 night trip around Ha Long bay and wow is all I can say. Mr Nam was a great tour guide and organizer. We didn't really know what to expect and were some what worried about all the horror stories of getting stuck on huge 42 berth boats. But what we got was great. We were a tiny group of 5 people in total so we had a nice 4 berth boat which was nice and clean and surprisingly spacious. The food was really great and lots of it. There isn't really a thing I would change or suggest for them to do differently. The boat, crew, food and scenery was fantastic. Book Halong bay tour,Halong bay cruise withHalongtoursonline.com, you won't be disappointed!

"WONDERFUL"

Overrall rating :

A very enjoyable trip, service was first class, staff were every helpful, berths were exceptional even a spa bath, food was special, scenery great and company very sociable. We were lucky to achieve all of this in our trip. It was a three berth boat and the other couple were Australians like us and very friendly. It was a last minute decision to do the Halong Bay trip but we do not regret it. Victory Star Halong Cruises staff treated us like a king and queen. I can recommend Victory Star Halong Cruises Halong Bay cruise as a quality trip. There are some doubts about the veracity of reviews on Trip Advisor and for good reason but this is an honest review. If you wish to contact me privately I am happy to provide a private review.

"EXCELLENT"

Overrall rating :

The 2 day 1 night trip is a must for families, we had 3 children 12,11 and 8 who just loved the experience. The staff were so accommodating, friendly and made your feel right at home. The food on the cruise was amazing!!! This is a must for anyone who is thinking of visiting Ha Long Bay!
