Ha Long Orchid Cruise....2 nights of beauty - Beautiful scenery. Even more spectacular than I thought it would be. A very relaxing 2 night cruise with excellent activities. Small boat with only 14 cabins. We had a lovely suite on deck 1 with balcony. Only comment would be the food there is alot of seafood however food on boat very good quality. Special mention to staff member Colada, he made our stay on board extra special. He's a credit to the boat company. Highly recommend this boat & company!!

Simply Marvellous - We are not a cruise family, but this has been a fantastic experience. Scenery, calm blue green water is just magnificent. We are a family of 3 and had two connecting rooms. They are comfortable, good sized, lovely bathroom with a claw bath looking out to the fantastic views of Ha Long bay. Top deck is very big, set up with lounge, tables & chairs, and a very well stocked bar, we enjoyed a few cocktails at Happy Hour each day. Impeccable services provided by staff, they are polite and friendly. Special mention to Lyly, looked after us each meal, very efficient & friendly, nothing is too much trouble. I definitely recommend it if you ever get a chance.

Excellent service, memories made - We were astounded with the quality of food and drinks, the cabin and the large range of activities available on board; we thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking trips around the beautiful coves and mountains, along with early morning tai chi, and swimming in the ocean off the back of the boat. Laura made a lasting impression on us as a family, with her very attentive accommodation to us during meals and also on the day cruise to Cát Bà island, who the tour guide, David was incredibly informative. The cruise was all together an amazing experience, made all the better by the staff on board!

The Views. - Wow. What a fantastic cruise. The boat is beautiful. was there on our 40th wedding anniversary and all the crew made it a very special time, especially Alex, who was brilliant. Food was first class and the scenery spectacular. Had a great time with many other travelers, happy hour which stretched for about 4 was a great way to end each day.

Great boat trip on Halong Bay. - We did the 3 day 2 night and was on Orchid 2. The check in was very straight forward on the quayside and then a 40 shuttle boat out to the boat for our stay. We had Tai Chi offered in the Morning (I did this one morning and it was relaxing taking part) we also did the boat trip in the light and dark cave (this I have to say was a bit manic, but it was a national holiday in Vietnam) and we did the island tour which you could cycle to the village or take the electric car. The food on the boat was very good and the cabins spacious, there was Happy Hour twice in the evening and the staff were all very friendly, Tien was our guide/host who was great as was Smiley in the restaurant and bar. I would recommend this trip.

Incredibly Memorable experience on a modern boat - Reccomendation: Went as a couple. Incredible experience, please do the 3d2n, the 2d1n would have been too short given how long you need to travel from Hanoi to get to Ha Long Bay and Back. Also, pack sunscreen Food: Was very impressed by the food and plenty of options at the buffet. No issues and no hesitation for Vegan / Vegetarians. Drinks: I'm an Aussie and cocktails are generally $5 a piece during happy hour. Really good and only reccomendation is to bring hydralyte to offset the alcohol you'll undoubtedly drink. Staff: During the introductions, they told us there are 26 staff for 25 people (this was on the Orchid Cruise Classic). Really amazing service and would reccomend. Specifically, Vy Vy and Sunny were very attentive, kind and exceeded our expectations in every way. These two staff members made the cruise an even more incredible and memorable experience. Ages: No problem for all ages. I'm in my 30's and cross section of all ages so no problem with sharing drinks and socialising with people in your age bracket. But ages on the boat likely also luck of the draw. Room: Room had air-conditioning. Had a great view from room. No issues and great suites with instagramable rooms. Overall experience: Definitely 5/5 (or 10/10, however you want to rate it). Would reccomend and the boat was a higher quality than others going around Ha Long Bay so no issues with any amenities, Room, staff. Loved it.

Two days one night would have probably been enough if fake village of sandy women island is avoided - Not sure which Orchid Cruises I have done as our cruise was canceled 24h before the start and we have been rebooked on another boat of Orchid Cruises! Service was perfect and Mina in the restaurant was really great with us at any moment. Lunches and dinners were all perfect in quality and diversity, the breakfast was unfortunately not at an expected level in compare to the other meal and you need to pay extra if you want an expresso or a green tea! The room was perfect, big and clean The excursions were not very interesting, in particular the one of the second day when we were brought to a village of the sandy women island. A village without any interest only created to push people to buy souvenirs, if we knew we had to wait 1h30 in this village who would have skipped this excursion. I would recommend a cruise of 2 days and 1 night, it is largely enough
