We spent two days/one night on Luxury Athena Cruise. We’re absolutely happy with every moment. They offered professional services by friendly staff. They went above and beyond to make the trip luxurious and fun. We kayaked around the cute little village – Vung Vieng, so exciting. It’s meet our expectation!

Thank you very much for the nice stay. It's a great time on the cruise and we liked the activities, but we would have preferred some more time to relax. The bay itself is incredible beautiful & 3 Days/ 2 nights will be our option for the next time!

I loved our tour guide – Tu very much. He took very good care of us. He was so sweet, spoke very good English & gave us lots of information about Halong bay. He taught us to do kayaking in my own & that’s so fun experience. Highly recommend

We sailed for 2D/1N trip around the Bai Tu Long bay, and that was plenty to see the islands, beaches, islets… The bay was beautiful like a little paradise on earth. It was fantastic night in the bay with amazing feeling from Sundeck with stars in the clear, chat with other fellows, drink or just relax…. Would recommend to everyone!

We really enjoyed the cruise and quiet atmosphere. Food was better than expected. Only comment would be more drinking water available (Maybe a large community cooler)
