Great cruise. Incredibly well-prepared and informative about the bay. Some locations are guided by crew members as well. The cave was truly magnificent, and the excursions were enjoyable. The team was helpful with our reservation and onboard service. The ship is modern, and the accommodations are fantastic with balconies. Delicious supper and brunch. Good value, in my opinion.
Perfect and hassle-free from the port to the ship. A wonderful welcome from the team onboard. Gorgeous cabin with a balcony. Spacious and opulent.
Mr. Lam added fun to the kayaking, pearl farm, and cave excursions. This was a very informative, kind, polite, and helpful experience that I heartily recommend.
Hermes is a fantastic option for a peaceful, secluded overnight getaway in Ha Long Bay. The cabins are big, with only 10+. I was fortunate to reserve the Presidential Suite, which has a fantastic view, separate indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, and all-around window doors. Adore it.
