Vyvy helped a lot for our trip, it was amazing that we had a chance to do this tour before getting back to the UK for work. I would love to share this cruise to my friends and family in the near future. Jimmy was nice too, he is the cruise manager I think. The staff in the restaurant took a very good care of us, they made sure we were served with plentiful & well-made seafood - It was so fresh. My favorite part is this Nostalgia has only 10 cabins which offered more personal services and let us felt special during the whole trip. It made me feel like a VIP but they offer this serve to each of their guest, which I feel so respectful. Thanks a lot for your caring!

This cruise is the best, we thought we got scammed the moment I booked this cruise because it's so because but we didn't luckily. We love how the cruise just has 10 cabins, not too overcrowded or noisy at night, we slept and ate well here. I tried catching squid here but maybe I need more luck ha. My bf lost my passport after having the first lunch here and the staff tried their best to find it for him and we got his passport back tin a few hours. I was so thankful for all the help, will recommend this cruise to any of my friends who lose their brain sometimes. But the cruise is beautiful, we wish we had more time to do the 3 days 2 nights here

The King room of Nostalgia was very beautiful and worth my money, my wife was right to book this room. Our honeymoon was decorated well in our bed, we have a great time here. I love the Tai Chi class the most because I'm a morning person while my wife loves the food here because she slept all morning. We also tried the massage services to relax and we had a lovely conversation wih her, I don't know her name. The only thing I want to change is to do 2 nights here instead of 1 night, so wonderful!

During the trip, I was sick unfortunately, so I just enjoyed my time in my room. The food here was so good, I've tried to eat more seafood to improve my health maybe and it was fresh enough that didn't ruin my health. The tour guide was so taken care when he knew that I was sick, thank you so much Mr Tien. It was well-orginzed from picking us from the harbour to the speedboat to the big cruise. Hope that next time I could get back to Ha Long with a better health. Thank you Nostalgia cruise! Thank Anya from Vietnam Escape Tours for booking Nostalgia Cruise for us and supporting us on the trip.

We're family of 8 doing the 2 days 1 night trip here. This is the second time I've been to Ha Long Bay, and last time we just booked a hotel rooms here and not thought about the overnight cruise because we also didn't have that much time. But we were back this time to do the 2 d1n here and it was so good to be true to be honest. We thought we were out of this hectic world for 1 night because the Wifi here is not good as a fact in every cruise I think, but it's new for us to try this experience. The activities hit the spot, we're so satisfied with all the services here, people are so nice. My room is well-decorated too, love it!

Amazing experience! My friends recommend this cruise and we gave it a try at first with not too much expectations. But believe me, you wouldn't want to miss this cruise. I love the colorful sunset from our balcony and the magnificent view from our room after waking up from a day full of activities. The dinner here was so standing-out, we dressed in traditional clothes of Vietnam when having it, I've not tried this before. Thanks Mr. Jimmy, you're so nice to us during the trip, I actually reach out to him by Instagram - we're friends now. Thank Vivian from Vietnam Escape Tours for a great support for us booking Nostagia Cruises.

Not very surprised that the staff were so polite and nice, love this Nostalgia cruise so much. We do the 3 days 2 nights here and will recommend to anyone here want to feel really relaxed after months of hard working. We have so many activities but what I like the most is I could ride the bike with my gf to a village in a Island, we have a very romantic time here. Don't hesitate to do 3d2n cruise here, the money is so worth it, I'm not gonna lie.

We booked the cruise for our birthday celebration and everything went very well. We also were upgraded to King Suite, it's so lovely that our room is decorated traditionally with a jacuzzi and a very large private deck. The room was so clean, tidy even for a person with sensitive skin like me, thank you for organizing it. For the food, my partner is allergic to shrimps so they changed the shrimp soup and recommend some good alternatives for her, well services. Everyone on the cruise has been so nice, attentive, & fantastic. We enjoy doing the kayaks by ourselves with the staff's help. Thank you for a outstanding excursion in Halong.

I think we like this cruise, it's quite new and have a few cabin because we don't want a big cruise that is too crowded. Also the itinerary is also our favorite, when doing the kayaking we had so many fun - it was quite hard for us to do it the first time but Mr. Kent helped us a lot. The staff here are very hospitable, like every Vietnamese people I've met. Definitely recommend this cruise for my son honeymoon next year!

Actually when we made the first choice, we could see that this Nostalgia matches our expectations for an overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay. Too many people, the route is in Lan Ha Bay (which I like more than Ha Long Bay). Tbh, I love the kayaking, Cat Ba Island visiting, food making activities (we made spring roll - it's tastier than I thought). Oh about the food here, it's so well-prepared, fresh because it's was caught from the sea I think. Mr. Dat has a very good-spoken English and he helps a lot when check in the cruise because we remember the wrong cabin was booked, haha.
