Amazing tour and activities led by Violet! My wife and I had a great time on the cruise - from transport, food, staff, activities, room, cleanliness, everything was spot on and we couldn’t be happier. Violet did a great job explaining the itinerary, setting proper expectations and making sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend for anyone who’s looking to check out this amazing Ha Long Bay.

Our family of four from Australia had a fantastic and very memorable time on the two day trip to Halong bay with Vietnam open tours. Our guide for the trip was Tony Thien he did an excellent job. He was very informative, professional and also entertaining he clearly loves his job. He certainly thanks everyone a lot, and was very appreciative of our company and our feedback. The only small complaint was the very cramped bus on the way to Halong Bay. It was definitely too small, but on the way back we had a different bus which was fine the sites yeah activities and the food, and the room was very very good. I certainly would recommend this to other people, it would’ve been nice to have been serve free water on the boat as well for the price that should’ve been included

The boat and accommodations were amazing however it was not the Halong Royal Palace Cruise. Due to an unknown problem the company switched us to a different cruise and upgraded us. Our room was beautiful and the food was great except for the dinner. We didn't like that they pushed buying drinks and didn't serve WATER even at meals. Outside of that the host/guide and experience was exceptional. The bus ride which was the Halong Royal Palace bus was terrifying getting there with radical/abrupt driving (even for Vietnam) and the return was ENDLESS with the driver going 60 in 100 km zone. It took an extra painful hour to return. (4 1/2 hours)

The cruise was absolutely fantastic and one of the most reasonably priced one. Me and my wife both enjoyed it a lot. The whole cruise is made up of wood which adds to its beauty. Although not totally in the category of full fledged Luxury Cruise but has all the high-quality amenities with well decorated rooms, excellent bathrooms, bar, entertainment etc. and that too at a reasonable price. Another added advantage was that it offers an option with or without pick up which suited our needs as we were to depart from Hai-phong and not Ha-noi. The best thing was that we were the only 2 vegetarian people on board, and they specifically made fully vegetarian food and reserved a special table exclusively for us. A number of fancy food options were served giving the feel of a full-fledged 5-star restaurant. All the activities Kayaking, Swimming, Hiking, Cave visiting etc., are given a reasonable time and we were able to enjoy it to the fullest. The host Tony is a fantastic person and one of the major factors in making the trip a memorable one for a lifetime. He remained in touch continuously over WhatsApp since the start. We were also lucky enough to get our room upgraded with no extra charges. He is a humble, knowledgeable, very well-natured person who will make you feel at home even when you are far off. Kudos to you Tony and God bless you. Please keep it up. Conclusively, I would definitely recommend Royal Palace cruise to anyone who is looking to have an excellent cruise trip at a reasonable price.

We booked this through Cheers hostel so weren't sure which boat we'd be on but couldn't have been a better one! A benefit of going in the lower season was fewer people on board and an upgrade to a beautiful room with three windows, good air con and a private deck! Alex was a fantastic guide, friendly, helpful and informative. The food was incredible, so much of it but all brilliant, including king prawns, oysters, chicken duck and beef curries and the best squid I've ever had (they ask for dietary requirements at the start and the veggie food looked great too). Loved the kayaking and the cave visit, the only downside was the trip to Titov beach which was ridiculously overcrowded so would have stayed on the boat if we'd known that. But a minor thing in an otherwise fantastic 24 hours on the boat!

We had an amazing guide in Alex who made us feel like royals indeed! We were attended to our every need and made accommodations to our dietary needs. I loved the morning tai chi, the wonderful deck and the very nice rooms! The second day they gave us amazing activities outside of the more typical touristy stuff and had the best day ever! Hope to come back some day!

We originally booked the Majestic Halong Cruise, and were very pleasantly surprised to find ourselves on board the amazing Royal Palace Cruise instead! We stayed in Ha Long so met the rest of the group and Alex at platform 26. We were very kindly given a room upgrade with a private (shared with one other room) decking. The room as well as the whole boat was spotless and very well equipped. The shower was great and the air con worked perfectly! Ha Long Bay was amazing the scenery was beautiful and the activities planned were all well organised. A highlight was watching the sunset from the water at Titop Beach. The food was delicious and there was a huge selection of dishes brought out every time. There was so much food we couldn’t finish it all but definitely an amazing chef! A huge shout out for our tour guide Alex, his enthusiasm, kindness and knowledge really made our trip. Thank you Alex for making our cruise so special, it has been the highlight of our travels round SE Asia. Thank you to the rest of the team for all of their amazing service, I couldn’t recommend this tour more!!

This trip is a great opportunity to discover Halong Bay. Alex and the whole crew went out of their way to make everything as comfortable as possible. Trips were planned out and a lot of fun. The food was a large selection and very tasty. Ship was cool and rooms very tidy. We extended our trip to 3 days and 2 nights and got to see Lan Ha Bay as well. Can recommend!
