Additional Information

The rooms are extremely spacious, boasting large, comfortable beds. The cleanliness is impeccable throughout.

The staff were extraordinary and went above and beyond to assist. Exceptional service! The food was both generous in quantity and delightful in taste.

Thanks to a new route to Lanha Bay constructed by our Company just a year ago, the journey from Hanoi to Halong Bay has been significantly reduced to only 2.5 hours by bus, allowing swift arrival at the port and check-in to our luxury cruise.

Our itinerary includes a visit to Catba Island and of course Lanha Bay, signifying that we cover a larger area compared to other cruises confined to just Halong Bay.

Amazing trip in Lan Ha Bay ! - The cruise was great. The area the crew got us was not crowded at all and the crew was super! Also the kayak/swimming part was so cool as well as the bike trip in Cat Ba Island. I wish I had more time here!

Unique overnight at Lan Ha Bay, incredible food, even better tour-guide! Overall great company - I did the 2 days/1 night cruise with Venezia Cruises and could not recommend visiting the bays with them enough! One of the reasons I chose them was because of the great reviews and they live up to the expectation. They take you to Lan Ha Bay and I loved this because it looks exactly like Halong Bay but less crowded. You will still spend some time navigating and kayaking in Halong Bay! The boat and rooms are gorgeous. The staff onboard was super nice, the food was incredible (and loads of it) and the highlight for me was Tiger, our tour guide. In my many months in Vietnam, I realized how difficult it is to have a good English-speaking guide, who is local and knowledgeable and he is all of this! Great company!

Great formula to discover the magic of Ha Long Bay - The boat is very comfortable, the route is perfect in a slightly less busy area. The meals are good and plentiful. The activities were very nice and we had time, we didn't feel rushed by respecting the timing. The team is very friendly and the guide is both available and warm. Great time!

Well looked after - From the moment Soan (pronounced ‘One’) picked us up from our hotel in old Hanoi we felt safe and looked after. After several pick-ups and transfer to a large comfortable coach we set off South. Having been previously told we needed to pick up a tour from Cat Bah island our worries were dispersed, we were dropped off in a comfortable waiting room for the short wait for the motor boat which took us to our cruise boat. It is a sleek operation with a prescribed and well-trodden route - I suspect that whichever tour you choose you will end up in the right part cruising or sailing around the beautiful Ha Long Bay World Heritage site - there are lots of vessels but room for all. Our cruise on Venezia did not disappoint. Our room was lovely and clean, per the photos. The food was plentiful, drink prices acceptable (Happy Hour most of the evening). We were given lots of free water. We passed a floating village, went kayaking and swimming and visited Hospital Cave. On the boat we made Spring Rolls, fished for squid and had a karaoke session, One was an entertaining and attentive host ensuring the 15 of us including a toddler had everything we needed from start to finish. We highly recommend this cruise. Take a warm top if going in March, it was cool.

Avoid - Avoid this company. We had two major issues during our trip which made it overall largely unenjoyable. 1) our toilet in our room overflowed when the boat hit wavey bits all over the floor. We flagged and they put down a towel which sat in the bathroom for the rest of the trip covered in stuff from the toilet. They didn’t even wipe the bathroom floor. It was vile. 2) karaoke continued until after midnight due to some selfish, drunk guests. This meant we did not sleep much as had to be up at 6:30 for breakfast, thus ruining the next day. There was even families onboard. We asked for a partial refund and have been ignored by the company. They do not care once you have got your money. c£120 each for this rubbish. Also, my partner does not eat fish and the evening meal had 3 fish dishes, 1 chicken which was inedible so he hardly had anything to eat.

Absolutely terrible company. Avoid. - Awful company. We went on the 2D1N Cat Ba/Ha Long/Lan Ha cruise. Was awful from start to finish. Transfer was super early such that we missed breakfast because they couldn't wait 5 minutes for us to even go up and check our room, despite being >20 mins early. Dude was very arrogant. Then on the boat, when we hit open waters our toilet water splashed all over the bathroom floor, literally covering the place in urine and water. We told staff, who just launched a towel down in amongst it all - nice stinking towel just left there for the whole trip. Then the karaoke - started at 9, continued past midnight. 3 guests screaming into the wee hours while the rest of us tried to sleep. Kept us up and we had to be up at 6:30 for a 7am breakfast. Under slept so did not enjoy the second day at all. We offered to sit out the 2nd day and just leave for a partial refund. Head office said they'd "find a solution". This solution has been to ignore all of our messages and emails so far. Once they've got your money, it's gone - be warned. We aren't moany people, but for $150 this tour is a disgrace. Avoid at all costs in my opinion - way nicer boats and better quality trip for the money. How on earth they have 5 starts I'll never know - just appalling.
