Orchid Classic Cruise in Halong

The atmosphere on the boat is good and relaxing. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The food is delicious. The rooms are beautiful.

The best cruise in Ha Long Bay
The cruise is amazing! The views are spectacular and the food.. so delicious! The staff is so attentive and kind. Shout out to Win for serving us the best coffee and service. And Hoang for going out of his way for us to have the best experience. I really recommend this cruise!!

Fantastic from start to finish. One of the rare occasions when the photos do not do the experience justice.

Excellent service and lovely people / staff. The boat itself was great, but a little’tired’

Top marks
Highly recommended. Fantastic service, food. Activities and comfort. Special mention to Elle.

What a fantastic trip.

The service from the staff from start to finish was exemplary.

Pick up was a shared limousine van. Pure luxury for the 2.5-3 hour transfer.

When we got to the main boat we were served lunch which was beautiful. A great selection for all tastes.

Happy Hour was twice a day and the bar man Alex was extremely generous with his portions.

My partner doesn’t eat seafood (choice not allergy) and they always provided an alternative without a problem.

Tim also served us and he was very helpful, friendly and attentive.

I would say they struck the balance perfectly.

Emmanuel was our cruise director and a very charismatic man indeed. You’ll certainly enjoy his patter.

Our cabin was absolutely amazing. We upgraded to the executive suite and was not disappointed. Although the standard cabins looked amazing too.

Finally, what I really liked was there was probably only about 15 people on the boat. It seemed like they spread capacity across their fleet so it did not seem overcrowded.

Now to mention the bay. Beautiful. What a vista to enjoy.

Could not recommend Orchid Cruises highly enough.

BRAVO ALEX, TIM & EMMANUEL

Thank you

Cruising on Orchid Cruise 3 through Halong Bay has undoubtedly been the highlight of our Vietnam trip so far. The cruise's exquisite interior, spacious and comfortable room with a balcony offering stunning views, impressed us from the moment we stepped on board. While I anticipated good food and service based on reviews, the actual quality provided by Emmanuel, Elle, and the entire crew far surpassed our family's expectations. It was truly a 5-star experience.

Despite our family not being the active type, the well-planned activities were thoroughly enjoyable. Orchid Cruise 3 comes highly recommended by our entire family of six, spanning from teenagers to elderly parents.

Weather was perfect, boat and staff were amazing. Great 2 night stay

Staff were terrific especially Jimmy and Ginny. The big problem was a faulty air conditioner in iour room. When you are paying $900 a night, you expect a working air conditioner. The a/c was off in our room when we arrived. What a terrific greating. The dining room was hot also. Our a/c failed during the night and I woke up in sweat. When we returned from iur day trip (which was good) our room was hot again and I needed to stand on the bed to get cool after restarting the faulty a/c ……do better Orchid! Very poor

The cruise was amazing. Staff were next level in service and nothing was any trouble. The rooms were beautiful. We were so happy with our choice.
