i can't say enough, the whole 1 night cruise on Halong Bay with Bhaya Soul cruise was perfect, especially when I got engaged with my fiancé on the balcony watching the beautiful sunset. The crew coordinated so well to prepare for our planned time, thank you Rosie, Henry, Victor, Peter and Pinky, you guys were amazing. I want to be friends with them after the trip, they are so kind and lovely. The cruise itinerary was comfortable, well coordinated and perfectly organized. The meals were absolutely amazing, I felt like I was tasting a Michelin star menu, but that didn't disappoint us at all. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Halong Bay, from the history to the cuisine, and the pure kindness of the people in a beautifully designed and brand new cabin. I can say that the Bhaya Soul cruise not only sailed through Halong Bay, it conveyed my soul, we enjoyed every moment, the sunset on the deck, watching all this was truly magical. We will be back again!

Bhayaa Soul Halong is incredible cruise for honeymoon. We visited Vietnam in Nov and decided to book Bhaya Soul Cruise with Vietnam Escape Tours with a good deal. We were well taken care by the cruise team especially Tom -a friendly concierge. My wife was very impressed with the comfort of the luxury cabin. The cabin has aaa big size with a private balcony. The cruise focus on the travelers' experience so from food, cabin, itinerary to the massage were all good. 10/10 for the service of the cruise. Our cabin was decorated beautifully and itinerary of the Bhaya Cruise was very relaxed. The walking meditation in Tien Ong Cave was peaceful. 3 years ago i traveled to Halong in a 5 star also but this time we feel this is the best cruise we have done.

It is very luxury cruise with a large room and a nice private balcony which allow us to enjoy the view of Halong Bay. The cruise staffs were very helpful, attentive. Food on Bhaya Soul Cruise was excellent. Our family with kids and elderly enjoyed the food so much. There are heral food bath and massge which my mon loved it so much. The itinerary of Bhaya Sould was perfectly balanced. We do not feel rushed any time on the trip. Thank Linda from Vietnam Escape Tours for arranging Bhaya Soul Cruise for us with a good deal. Next time, if we come back to Vietnam, i want to take 3 day 2 night on Bhay Cruise so we can enjoy the trip more and discover the remote parts of Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, Vietnam.

I come from Germany. I want to enjoy a new culture, especially Indochina cultures. That is the reason why I chose Vietnam for my vacation. When I enjoy Bhaya Soul Cruise, everything are very signature and special - definitely uncommon style. The staff are all professional, welcoming, thoughtfulness and extremely warm. My friend and i are office workers, so we really appreciate healing trips. everything that makes us relax and unwind is provided on this cruise. meditation every morning, traditional music, massage, fresh air, relaxing scenery....no words can describe our feelings. our room was very clean, the food was fresh with all kinds of cooking styles. we really had a great time. 100 points for this part of the cruise. i will definitely come back here maybe next year. Thanks for Anna’s support. This trip really wouldn't have been so great without you.

We heard about this cruise a month ago but didn't plan to go for it as we were afraid that we might be wasting money on just a cruise in Halong Bay. We then considered some other options that were more budget friendly but it seemed like we didn't like any of them. We ended up booking this cruise at the last minute, then realized that we did the right thing from the moment we got off the bus from our hotel in Hanoi, arriving in Halong Bay on a beautiful sunny day. Duc and his crew welcomed us with a cup of tea, a hot towel and let us decide what essential oils we wanted for our room, which was beyond my expectations. Our cabin was absolutely beautiful, offering a breathtaking view that we will remember forever. Let's talk about the dining room, what a perfect 360 degree panoramic view of this beautiful bay that we were immersed in. Although I thought the itinerary might be tiring with so many activities listed above, trust me, they were put together for a reason, the flow was so smooth. We really wished we had two nights on this cruise instead of just one, but I will be back soon with the whole family for a relaxing trip after a long and busy year. Thank you to Duc, Harry, Henry, you two and all the staff for being so helpful! Especially Duc, thanks again for looking after us throughout the trip, we really appreciate it!
