This cruise was an incredible experience for me. The boat is very beautiful and the landscapes are breathtaking. We were lucky to be a small group (only 20 people on the boat). The staff takes great care of us. The food is excellent. The cabins are spacious and well-appointed.

Really nothing to complain about. Kayaking activity on the first day then a short trip to an island where it is possible to swim. But above all, we have to climb the 450 steps which take us to a magnificent viewpoint.
I highly recommend this cruise to all travelers! Less
Everything is perfect, although it is really less than 24 hours, and I would like to enjoy it more. Maybe I will book a 3-day cruise the next time I visit Vietnam.
Our room was the Presidential Suite; it was very clean, it smelled of jasmine as soon as you entered, and the bed was very comfortable.… More Everything is perfect, although it is really less than 24 hours, and I would like to enjoy it more.

The main drawback is the crowd. Every attraction is packed with visitors, which I expected, but still not a good impression. The time on the beach seemed very short, only 1 hour. Also, the wifi was very bad on board.

The yacht is so beautiful, the design is boutique with a traditional layout. Professional staff on board, they are very attentive. I stayed in the Suite cabin. It was beautiful with a comfortable bed, and had a nice bay view.
I must say Halong Bay is really magnificent, the scenery is breathtaking.… More The yacht is so beautiful, the design is boutique with a traditional layout.

I must say Halong Bay is really magnificent, the scenery is breathtaking. However, it was very crowded in the attractions. If you want a tranquil trip, this may not suit you. Bai Tu Long Bay may be better if you want a peaceful time.
Overall pretty nice, just avoid traveling on the weekend.

I was happy with the experience. Everything was well thought out. Very interesting, and culturally enriching. Their “traditional luxury” style was felt at every moment on the cruise, from the design, the meals, to the service.

I just think the schedule is a little too fast for a 2 days trip, maybe I’ll book a 3 days for a comfortable time.

Visiting Halong Bay was a fantastic experience that should not be missed while in Vietnam. The Victory Star trip is stunning, with superb service and gorgeous scenery, especially at sunset. I strongly suggest this tour to any of those who wish to see Halong Bay in a unique way.
P.S. Avoid traveling on weekends because it was really busy.
