Great experience
LuizFernando_E, Mar 2023
I had a pleasant stay on Athena cruise. The staff was very nice and helpful throughout the whole stay. The food was really good and they make special dishes for me as I am vegetarian. Ha Long bay is a beautiful place and is worth visiting iy.

A fabulous day and night
nicolamcdonnell, Mar 2023
What a night. Well thought out time table. Amazing views. It lots of waiting around but not so busy your exhausted. We met some great people from all around the world. Food was great. We don’t eat seafood, fish and I’m not a fan of meat on a bone but they catered well for us. A bottle of wine was 950,000 (£35) but we bought this when we first had lunch and had a glass each and then they kept the bottle behind the bar for us for later on.

Halong Bay as Place is...
PRITIRANJAN_R, Mar 2023
Halong Bay as Place is great! Transport from Hanoi to Halong Bay very nice. Alisa Cruise was average, nothing 5*+ about it. Especially, the ground staff handling of guests need to improve!

Too much wasted time
Arman_S, Mar 2023
The bay itself is great and we were very happy we went. Also, the crew members on the boat are fantastic! Someone had a baby with them who was crying during dinner, and one of the crew members carried the child around and played with him, while the parents got to relax and enjoy dinner. My biggest issue is the itinerary. The “2 hour” drive from Hanoi takes 5 hours from the time you get picked up from the hotel until you’re on the boat. And the second day you check out at 9:30am, get off the boat at 10:20, and don’t get back to the hotel until around 3. The limousine is a coach bus with AC and was pretty comfortable. The boat itself was nice, rooms were pretty clean and balconies were great. The room did get pretty stuffy at night though. The bathroom drain was clogged so we had a flood incident. Overall, the accommodations were decent. I think that this is a fine tour overall and a decent way to see Ha Long Bay. But the only thing “6 star” about it is the crew on the boat. Crew 10/10 Boat 9/10 Room 7/10 Transport 4/10

Very well organized trip....
Tracey_D, Mar 2023
Very well organized trip. Our guide Alex was top notch. The food was fantastic. We had such a great time, learned a lot about Halong Bay and the Vietnamese culture and way of life. Highly recommend this tour, good value.
Really great experience...
Gonalo_M, Mar 2023
Really great experience with amazing landscapes on the Bay, some activities and the quality of the food was also quite good. Only felt the organization before getting on board was not ideal and it took a lot of time and confusion.

Be carefull
Svea_P, Feb 2023
We we really looking forward to this trip, and we booked a room with a balcony( witch was more expensive than an option without a balcony). The photos on the app weren't the same as the ship we were put on. We soon realized tha our room didn't have a balcony, and complained to the cruise manager. He said he couldn't do nothing about it, and that it was the agencys fault. We contacted the agendy, and they told us that they put us in a room with a big window, because there were no more room with balconies witch nobody informed us about. So we basically paid for it, and they didn't even bother. It was only after i said i woul leave a review with pictures of the toilet and non ironed sheets for a price od 165$ a night per person that they started acting nicely . They said they would now move us to another ship with a balcony, but all of this came as an inconvinience cause we had only one day on the boat, and had to already szart with out activities( kayaking, exploring...) we eventualy moved to the other ship because we wanted to get what we paid for but it required of us time to repack and we missed one session of kayacking. They could've solved our problem much faster, at the start, but obviously if i didn't say i would post an honest review to show how the transfer people not accordingly to the rooms they payed for, they would let us stay there. In the cheaper room, eithout an apology or explamation .so make sure you are on the right ship, and you check your room before the boat takes off!!
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Dear Ms Svea Pašić Thank u for your review and booked a 3 stars balcony on Jan 30. 1) We firstly upgraded you to 5 stars basic cruise with cabin on 2nd floor with big window (we already informed you one day before). 2) And after u finished your lunch on Amanda Cruise, you told us that you really need a balcony cabin, then we tried the best to change you to another cruise with balcony cabin option for you. 3) We paid transfer, tender, and staffs were very helpful and managed all of things for you. The Cruise team was extremely helpful and did their best and made your trip completely happy and we saw your feedback on paper !

Average cruise
Dina_N, Jan 2023
If I would go again, I would have done the one day tour instead of the overnight for sure. The main activities are the same so you basically get to see the main things. Food on the boat was not good. Rooms were ok but at least mine was extremely noisy due to the boats machine noises so I never managed to sleep. Any inside the boat activities (thai chi, cooking class) were very average and that was the main difference with daily cruises instead of overnight so I wouldn’t spend the night there. The place itself (Halong bay) was superb.

Nice but less energetic
Sudhanshu_B, Jan 2023
It was a nice cruise. The guide in our trip doesn't used to travel with us to tell us about the particular places instead gives us a brief explanation in the starting and gives a time bound to reach to the exit point till then to explore and move according to individual pace. The party vibe was less which was the only thing I felt was missing.

Very fun cruise!
Jade_S, Jan 2023
This was a great quick cruise we decided to do during our trip! The staff were very nice and professional. A few tips: if you’re vegetarian they will serve you at your table and the food will keep on coming!! The piña colada was amazing. There is a heater and AC in the room. We booked a room without a balcony and it did not look like the pictures but was perfectly fine for the trip. Mr. Tom was very funny and professional and made sure we had a great experience.
Below average hospitality, good cruise and great place to visit
Ankur_A, Jan 2023
Good place and worth doing a cruise. This particular booking was quite average, it started with poor communication. The 1 person who contacted us before only told us that we will receive all info 1 day before @ 11pm. The pickup was a nightmare and no one confirmed when we will be picked up or even if we will be picked up. I tried to ring 2 contacts, who had pinged me and they don't pick the phone at ALL. The cruise was nice, but no information is given beforehand on places that will be visited or what food will be served. Language is an issue and also food was quite average with really no good options for vegetarians. You will like it if you have sea food, in our 3 meals - we had only 1 option with chicken. Timelines are quite bizarre with no flexibility, I missed a boating at 7am as I was late by 4 mins. Breakfast timing is 6-7am, they are quite inflexible on timing and also not polite. I am talking about 5 mins here.
