I don't know what to say except WOW. We was aboard in the Presidential Suite on this brand-new ship and truly unforgettable. The suite was gorgeous with elegant decoration, a balcony and a bathtub with Ha Long Bay views - Beyond all my expectations. The activities were well organized. I already took part in all of those, so much fun. I really enjoyed my time chilling in the rooftop jacuzzi while watching the sunset. The food was another highlight - diverse and tasty. The staff here were super friendly and professional. If you're coming to Ha Long Bay, this Indochina Sails cruise is must-do bucket list experience!!!

I had a wonderful experience with Indochina Sails. The boat was very clean, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated, giving a truly authentic yet luxurious feel. The cabin was comfortable with all the amenities I needed. The staff were incredibly professional, always smiling, and ready to assist with anything. The food was delicious with a wide variety of Vietnamese and international dishes. The itinerary was well-organized, allowing us to enjoy both sightseeing and relaxing time on board. Activities such as kayaking and visiting caves were highlights of the trip. I also appreciated the attention to detail and safety throughout. Overall, Indochina Sails exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Halong Bay.

Very nice and highly recommended!!! We went on the Indochina Sails and it was fantastic. The rooms were spacious, with a comfortable king bed and a generously sized bathroom. The boat’s facilities are very well maintained, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The views are stunning, and the itinerary chosen by the boat is perfect. The food was varied and delicious. The only thing missing would be a pool on the deck to help with the sweltering Vietnam heat—but that doesn’t affect my overall excellent impression of the cruise. thanks to Anya from Vietnam Escape Tours for offering our group with a good price for Indochina Sails and Ninh Binh tour

A wonderful 24-hour cruise in Halong Bay, made even more special by the outstanding hospitality aboard the Indochine motor ship. The vessel is elegant, beautifully designed, and very comfortable. All cabins feature sea views, are spacious enough, and decorated with impeccable taste. Dining was excellent, with high-quality ingredients and well-prepared dishes. The program is well-organized. Guests meet just before noon at the Indochina Sails pier in Halong, then transfer by ferry (about 20 minutes) to the ship moored in the bay. Upon arrival, the captain warmly welcomes everyone with an introduction to the itinerary, followed by a buffet lunch. In the afternoon, there’s a scenic excursion by small boat through some of the bay’s most picturesque areas, with the option to kayak as well. Later, guests can swim around the ship, enjoy the large jacuzzi, or join other activities such as tai chi. Dinner in the evening is elegant and served at the table. The next morning begins early with a light breakfast, followed by an excursion to a cave. Upon returning to the ship, a final brunch is served before heading back to Halong pier to conclude the cruise. Overall, the experience was excellent and highly recommended

Super organized boat trip with an amazing crew who go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time! The staff were very hospitable, the meals were tasty, and the activities were fun. Our rooms were even upgraded so we had three bedrooms right next to each other – awesome! The cabins were large, comfortable, and even had a hot tub. Con: The activity schedule wasn’t followed properly – most activities started more than 15 minutes earlier than listed, which was confusing and a bit frustrating. Indochina Sails is one of the best cruises in Halong Bay i think and really recommended for anyone going to Halong Bay.

We joined a mini day cruise that was surprisingly complete and full of activities. Highlights included visiting a grotto inside an islet, canoeing, a morning trip to Ti Top Island for stunning views and a swim, plus Tai Chi on the upper deck with the whole bay as a backdrop. The cruise cabins felt more like 5-star hotel rooms than typical cruise cabins – spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Food and service were excellent, and the views were unforgettable. The only downside was seeing some waste floating in certain corners of the bay, but overall we were very satisfied with the experience.
