The service was good and pleasant. The food was bad to fair and no selection provided. The room is nice and seemed traditional. Expect to be in a tourist hub with what seemed to be hundreds of boats and thousands of people cramped at each activity. The tour starts at 12 noon and finishes 10:45 the next day (2 days?). Drinks are not included and expect to pay for water. YES Water which is silly because we would have spent more on alcohol .
Dear David, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you found the service pleasant and the cabin comfortable. We’re sorry, however, that some parts of the experience did not fully meet your expectations, especially the food and the level of crowding at sightseeing spots. Ha Long Bay is a very popular destination, so some activity areas can unfortunately be busy, especially during peak travel periods. We understand that this may not suit guests looking for a quieter bay experience. Regarding the 2-day itinerary, overnight cruises in Ha Long Bay normally follow the standard boarding and disembarkation schedule set by cruise operations and port procedures. About drinking water, complimentary water is provided with a limited daily allowance, similar to hotel standards. Additional bottled water or other drinks ordered beyond the complimentary inclusion are charged separately. Thank you again for your comments. Your feedback helps us improve how we advise future guests and explain inclusions more clearly before travel. Warm regards, Vietinsider Routes Team
We paid 30 percent more than other passengers, the boat had aged and the cabin not airtight we froze. We were charged for a glass bottle of water that we dropped. 2 days before the date we were asked by whatsaap our passport and travel insurance....why not ask at the time of booking? We are rather disappointed.
Bonjour, Nous sommes sincèrement désolés que votre expérience n’ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes et nous comprenons votre déception. Merci d’avoir pris le temps de nous faire part de vos remarques. Concernant le prix, les tarifs peuvent varier selon le canal de réservation. Un tarif réservé via une plateforme OTA inclut des commissions de service imposées par la plateforme, et ne peut donc pas être comparé à un tarif réservé directement auprès d’un agent local. Une comparaison directe entre ces deux modes de réservation n’est pas équitable. Concernant la bouteille d’eau en verre dans la cabine, celle-ci fait partie des équipements du bateau. Elle n’est facturée qu’en cas de casse avérée. La demande de passeports sous forme de photos claires et détaillées a été communiquée avant la réservation, conformément aux exigences réglementaires locales et à celles de la compagnie de croisière. Nous regrettons sincèrement que ces éléments aient affecté votre ressenti. Vos remarques concernant la cabine et le service à bord ont été transmises à la compagnie de croisière afin qu’elles soient prises en compte et étudiées pour amélioration. Cordialement.
What a wonderful place to be ❤️❤️ we enjoyed our cruise very much. It was calm and luxurious. The boat is new and our cabin was wonderful, with a great balcony, and clean. The staff was kind and very attentive – thank you Kathleen for the great service!
Dear Matt & Silwana, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed a calm and luxurious experience on the cruise. Paradise Legacy is indeed a beautiful new boat, and we’re glad you loved the balcony cabin and the comfort onboard. We truly appreciate your kind words about the crew — especially Kathleen. We will make sure she receives your compliments! Thank you again for choosing HT Travel & Cruises for your Halong Bay journey. Wishing you many more amazing travels, and we hope to welcome you back to Vietnam someday! Warm regards, HT Travel & Cruises
In Ha Long we made the Lily Cruise, we stayed in one of the exclusive cabins, very comfortable and decorated and with stunning views. The service of the staff is attentive, especially the guide Happy that because we do not speak English very well he always tried other ways to pass the information to us, and the food, excellent with Vietnamese and international dishes carefully prepared. Onboard activities such as kayaking and cave visits are well organized and balance adventure and rest. An elegant, relaxing and memorable tour.
Olá, muito obrigado por compartilhar sua linda experiência! Ficamos muito felizes em saber que você aproveitou o cruzeiro Lily e especialmente o atendimento do guia Happy. Agradecemos por valorizar nossa equipe, a gastronomia e as atividades — são exatamente esses detalhes que tornam a experiência em Ha Long tão especial. Esperamos ter o prazer de recebê-los novamente em outra viagem memorável pelo Vietnã! Phạm Xuân Trường HT Travel & Cruises
It wasn’t a 5 star cruise as sold by Viator. The cruise staff themselves mentioned it’s a 3 star cruise. We felt cheated. I raised this with Viator but they didn’t help at all.
Dear Valued Customer, First and foremost, we sincerely apologize and deeply regret any dissatisfaction you experienced during your trip. We highly appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns. We would like to clarify the following points regarding the situation: 1. Our dedicated travel consultants consistently support our customers from the moment the booking is confirmed until their return to the starting point, including assistance with airport transfers and any other information requested beyond the itinerary. 2. The cruise staff’s interpretation of the star rating aligns with local standards. In Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam (where the cruise is managed), cruise classifications follow local regulations, specifically Decision No. 410/2006/QĐ-UBND. This means star ratings are categorized only from 1 to 3 stars. 3. The Victory Star cruise you experienced is widely recognized as a 5-star luxury vessel by global standards, boasting thousands of "Excellent" or "Tuyệt vời" reviews from guests across various online booking platforms. However, we understand that your personal evaluation differed, and you perceived it as a 3-star cruise. We value transparency and have explained this in detail. We regret that despite our efforts to clarify the matter, you felt unsupported. While we respect your opinion, we believe this assessment may not accurately reflect the level of service provided. Thank you once again for your feedback, and we hope for an opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best regards, HT Travel & Cruises
We had a remarkable experience on the Hermes Cruise, all thanks to HT Travel and the exceptional assistance from Xaan Truong. The booking process was seamless, and Xuan Truong was attentive to every detail, making sure our preferences were fully met. The Hermes Cruise exceeded our expectations in every way. Our cabin was cozy and elegantly designed, with a private balcony offering incredible views of Halong Bay. The crew was welcoming, attentive, and provided top-tier service, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere. Every meal onboard was delicious, featuring both Vietnamese and international cuisine, which added to the overall experience. We enjoyed activities like kayaking, a sunset party, and exploring the caves, each planned perfectly. We felt well taken care of, and the entire journey was both relaxing and filled with unforgettable moments. If you’re looking for a memorable Halong Bay experience, we highly recommend booking with HT Travel. Xuan Truong and the team truly made our getaway special!

We booked the Peony cruise through HT Travel & Cruises for a family trip with our little one, and it was a fantastic experience. From the start, the booking process was smooth, and the staff at HT Travel was very responsive, addressing all our concerns, especially regarding traveling with a baby. The Peony cruise itself was perfect for our family. The room was spacious and clean, and they even provided a crib for our baby, which was very thoughtful. The activities were well-organized, and although we couldn’t join all of them due to the baby, the staff was very accommodating, offering alternative suggestions for us to enjoy. The food was delicious, with plenty of options for both adults and children. We also appreciated the attention to safety throughout the trip. Ha Long Bay was stunning, and the peaceful atmosphere was just what we needed. We highly recommend HT Travel & Cruises for a hassle-free and memorable family vacation!

After searching a few travel groups on Facebook and TripAdvisor for Ha Long Bay tour companies, I opted to go with HT Travel. They were helpful, polite, and answered all my questions. This tour was the highlight of my trip to Vietnam. Trang arranged pick up from my hotel, met me at the port with a lovely gift and made sure I and other passengers were taken care of through it all. The tour was amazing - Ha Long Bay is a spectacular sight to see and experience, and the activities and crew support top notch!! The ship was clean, new with great amenities and smooth sailing. The service and food was excellent. I felt safe and provided for every step of the way and I loved that. I highly recommend HT travels.

We booked a 2D1N Ha Long Bay Cruise with Trang Doan. She worked tirelessly to present to us the various options that they had. At one point, my friend recommended to me about a cruise, Paradise Elegance, I went online directly but couldn’t find availabilities that suited our schedule. I reached to Trang and told her about it. She found the rooms for us. When I gave her our passports, she noticed that my birthday was during the trip so she arranged for the cruise staff to bring out and sing Happy Birthday to celebrate me. She also met me at the port with a welcome fruits basket. Her service was attentive. I highly recommend Trang and her agent.
Dear Jackie SoCal, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Ha Long Bay cruise and that Trang was able to assist you in such a memorable way. It's great to know that the Paradise Elegance cruise met your expectations and that Trang went above and beyond to celebrate your birthday during the trip. We always aim to create special moments for our guests, and it’s heartwarming to hear that you felt well taken care of. We truly appreciate your recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back on another journey in the future! Best regards, Xuân Trường HT Travel & Cruises
We loved our Bai Tu Long Bay cruise! All the guides and crew were welcoming and very hospitable. The ship was charming and comfortable, and the views were gorgeous! NPham, who helped us to book our cruise, was incredibly helpful and maintained contact until the end of our cruise to clarify questions we had. Highly recommend!
