I was absolutely satisfied with the service on Indochine - it was amazing! As soon as we embarked on a cruise, we were welcomed and genuinely cared for. Great thanks to the team who made a special menu just for us as we are vegetarians - the food was absolutely tasty and was beautifully prepared which exceeded our expectations. Our cabin was stunning, spacious and spotless. The staff was so lovely, friendly, always runned everything well and ensured we were comfortable throughout the journey. This was truly a wonderful experience! Every detail was perfectly organized that created a nice atmosphere and made our trip more special.

Every detail, every corner of Indochine Premium is designed beautifully, mixes traditional heritage with modern luxury, which is inspired by the Vietnamese women’s grace and charm. The Sky Lounge is an ideal space for all of us to unwind with panoramic views of Halong Bay. Meanwhile, the Infinity Deck seems to connect the sea and sky together, immersing in endless space with a cup of coffee for the sunrise or a cocktail for the sunset. What made our trip unforgettable was the intimate and attentive service here. Every staff made us feel welcomed and cared for 🥰 To sum up, that was a truly unforgettable journey with picturesque scenes, great experience. Indochine Grand offers a luxurious escape that feels both indulgent and authentic.

Our experience of a 3-day 2 night tour on Indochine Premium Halong Bay truly exceeded all our expectations. The boat was stunning - elegant design, well-maintained, and full of charm. Our cabin was spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, offering both comfort and picturesque scenes of the bay. The food was absolutely fresh, flavourful and presented beautifully at every meal. The time on the cruise I enjoyed the most with all activities which was fun and well-organized in order to explore the natural beauty of Halong Bay. From the beginning, we were welcomed and taken care of by the exceptional staff who were so friendly, thoughtful and hospitable that made us feel right at home. That's a wonderful trip and we’re already recommending Indochine Premium to friends and family

My family and I recently enjoyed a 2-night cruise aboard the Indochine Premium, and it was truly a memorable and relaxing experience from beginning to end. From the moment we stepped onboard, we were impressed by how immaculately clean and well-maintained the entire ship was. The design and atmosphere of the cruise struck the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, making us feel welcomed and at ease throughout the journey. The food and drinks were excellent, with a wide variety of delicious dishes served at every meal - beautifully presented and full of flavor. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everything exceeded our expectations. The drinks menu was also well thought out, offering both local favorites and international selections. The onboard activities were well-organized and enjoyable, allowing us to relax and have fun at our own pace. There were plenty of things to do - or not do, if we just wanted to unwind. The offboard excursions were equally impressive. We had the chance to explore caves, enjoy kayaking, and take in the stunning scenery of Ha Long Bay - all with the support of knowledgeable guides and smooth logistics. What really made the trip stand out, however, was the exceptional service provided by the crew. Every staff member was consistently friendly, professional, and attentive, making sure all guests were comfortable and happy. A special shout-out to Phuc, whose warmth and attentiveness made a big difference - thank you! If you're looking for a relaxing, scenic, and well-organized cruise experience in Ha Long Bay, we highly recommend Indochine Premium. It’s the kind of trip where you can disconnect, enjoy the beauty of nature, and be taken care of in the best possible way. We would absolutely sail with them again

This cruise was truly an extraordinary experience from start to finish. One of the first things that impressed me was the room - not only was it spacious, but also spotlessly clean and well-equipped. A nice surprise was the cable TV, which included Premier League matches with English commentary — perfect for not missing Super Sunday! The off-cruise activities such as kayaking, hiking, and swimming were top-notch and incredibly enjoyable. A great feature of the itinerary is that all activities are optional, so if you prefer to relax onboard, you can unwind on the sundeck and enjoy the fresh sea breeze - it’s genuinely refreshing. What really made this trip stand out was the exceptional level of service. A big shout-out to the managers, the captain, Ethan, Smiley, Taichi-man, and the rest of the crew - all were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. All in all, this cruise was worth every single penny. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing yet adventure-filled escape.

After doing some research and exchanging a few emails with Indochine Sails, I booked their 3-day, 2-night cruise — and I’m so glad I did! We reached Ha Long and embarked on the ship just before lunch. My Junior Suite was stunning — spacious, neat, and comfortable. The buffet lunch was quite tasty, and enjoying a meal among wild nature was a perfect experience. After that, we visited Sung Sot Cave - a busy but nice cave. It’s large and we went trekking there. I chose to skip the kayaking and instead relaxed on the sundeck, sunbathed also wonderful. There was plenty of seating available, though the music was a little loud for my taste. The formal dinner that evening was outstanding — beautifully presented and full of flavor. However, a few more staff members would have made it easier to get drinks during the meal. Day two was packed with activities: early morning Tai Chi, breakfast, then a day trip on a smaller (but very nice) boat called dayboat to explore more caves and islands. Unfortunately, I hurt my back when jumping into the water at the swimming stop. The crew was incredibly helpful and attentive. A quick tip: bring some cash for onboard drinks and extras. I skipped the oyster farm tour that afternoon to rest. That night’s dinner was excellent once again, followed by a good night’s sleep. Because of my back, I decided not to hike up Ti Top Island the next morning. Instead, I enjoyed a quiet couple of hours on board before disembarking and heading back to Hanoi. One last delightful surprise — two lovely ladies from Indochine Sails were waiting onshore to ask about my trip and gave me a small gift: Vietnamese coffee! Overall, a truly memorable experience. Indochine Sails is a wonderful company. I just wish they offered longer cruises — with a few more restaurant staff and perhaps less disco music in the evenings.

We absolutely loved our time on the Indochine Premium! The whole cruise felt more like an art gallery than just a regular boat, the decoration was truly stunning and so unique. The viewing decks and the jacuzzi pool were amazing, with plenty of comfy spots to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. We had a fantastic room with a balcony, super cozy, spotless, and perfect for relaxing. The bathroom was gorgeous too, with a bathtub that had a lovely view outside. The cruise staff were incredibly kind and professional, they really made us feel welcome and well taken care of. If you’re thinking of booking, I highly recommend staying for at least 2 nights. The longer you stay, the more activities and beauty you get to experience
