3D/2N tour, spectacular experience
pilimejail,Feb 26, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We spent some amazing days on the cruise. The whole team was very professional and super friendly. The rooms were beautiful, the food delicious and the excursions beautiful. We did the 3D/2N cruise, I was relieved that the plans for each day were different as well as the food. It was worth paying an extra to be in Bai Tu Long Bay because we were mostly alone and we appreciate dodging mass tourism. Thank you to the team for working so impeccably on your lunar new year days, so grateful 🙏🏼
Bad experience

1.00Bad experience with Marvel Travel Halon Bay. We booked a 3 day and 2 night cruise to Halong Bay. We received the confirmation and also the tickets. The next day we write to tell them where to pick us up and they write us a WhatsApp message of apology, but there is no place, there was a booking error. In the meantime we had booked the flight to Haiphong and the hotel in Halon bay. 😡
It was very relaxing and nice to explore the area such untouched and beautiful Very peaceful and quiet.

5.00Great time 3 Day Cruise Luxury 5 star cruise, What a wonderful excursion, so glad we did this. After the chaotic yet vibrant Hanoi, we were ready for some relaxing! Kayaking in Ha Long Bay was so calming and beautiful, loved admiring the landscape. Relaxing in the pool with the mountain back drop was so surreal! The food and activities on board were better than I imagined. What really set this trip apart though were the staff. Wyn was always smiling at our meals, asking of our day and seemed to really take interest in us, she is pretty special. Lewis also must be mentioned! His contagious smile warmed my heart; loved his spring roll class and also how he mingled amongst guest. Highly recommend!
Agency tried to scam me, worst experience in Vietnam
B1580NClaurentm,Feb 7, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
2.00Booked a solo cruise 3x days 2x nights on the trip advisor website. The local operator then repeatedly tried to charge me an additional USD 170 for solo travel (as opposed to a couple traveling) in violation of the trip advisor t&cs. I felt like I was being scammed and it’s only when I reported the issue to trip advisor that the additional charge was swiftly dropped. Also note these cruises are advertised as 3x days 2x nights, it really is 2x days 2x nights since you start midday on the first day and finish midday on the third day. So they are missold. In terms of the overall experience, I felt this was like a conveyor belt of tourists so popular is the cruise. Some sites were completely overrun by crowds even though this was not the highest season, and you did see a fair amount of plastic on some beaches. The boat proper was good, the room with balcony fantastic and the staff could not be faulted for their endeavour for what must be a very difficult and tiring job handling a constant stream of tourists from all over the world. That’s why my review is 2 stars instead of one. Because of them, they deserve better from the agency. I’ve been 3x weeks in Vietnam and I would rate this my worst experience. I think this could have been good on a privately chartered boat far away from the crowds and usual sites.
Stunning Experience

5.00We travelled to Halong Bay for an Orchid Classic Cruise lasting 2 nights/3 days. This was a remarkable experience which we cannot fault. The crew were kind, polite and went out of their way to provide a wonderful experience. The ship was beautiful, lovely rooms, all with private balconies and a fabulous dining room, with a great bar on the upper deck for Happy Hour and a cooking class. It was great fun and we enjoyed some fun times together with other passengers. Tai Chi on the upper deck was a treat; watching the moon go down and the sun come up, in the middle of such stunning scenery, is an experience not to miss! We highly recomnend this cruise - we had a wonderful time, whilst seeing a beautiful place. Trudy and Keith Simpson

5.00Amazing service, activities, food. Great value. The cruise was so well organized and the accommodations were good. Our 3 day 2 night cruise included a full day exploring Ha Long Bay on another Athena day boat. It included free kayaking and a visit to a pearl farm. Overall great time!
No evening entertainment...

3.00No evening entertainment available. The captain announces everything over the tannoy, which makes it impossible to sleep in. Our independent tour guide for our day trip to the caves and pearl farm, Hoi, was exceptional in every way. He went above and beyond.
A dreamlike journey

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I can really recommend this tour: The ship and the rooms are very comfortable and luxuriously equipped, the dinner with the 5-course menu is delicious and the buffet very rich. We liked the kayak tour and the bike tour best, it was not very strenuous and very fun. We felt incredibly comfortable, the crew is sooo nice, we have never experienced this in any other country. Thanks again especially to Amee!
