Love Peony Cruise and the crew. The food is both delicious and plentiful, the staff was very nice and helpful. Plenty activities for you to choose when cruise to Halong Bay like swimming, kayaking, sampan boat (if you are not an active person like me then you should try this once)…Very smooth operation from booking to departing boat. Highly recommend this cruise.

Peony was great! With just around 20 cabins, it created a cozy, intimate vibe where it was easy to connect with others or enjoy your own peaceful space. The staff-to-guest ratio was excellent, and you always felt well cared for without it being overbearing. Cleanliness across the entire ship was pristine, and the decor was stylish with a rustic charm that complemented the natural surroundings. To the entire Peony team: thank you for your incredible hospitality, your warmth, and all the small touches that made this journey so meaningful. We only wish we had booked a few extra days. If you ask what is so special about 2 nights here, I wanted to ride the bike on the island with my partners to understand the life styles here but we had no more time. So sad! Without a doubt, we would do it all again.

I were worried a lot before doing the trip because I'm actually a picky eater but I were just overthinking it. Because the food on board was nothing short of exceptional. Set menu dinners were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The chef clearly takes pride in his craft. Don’t miss their special egg coffee, it was unlike anything we've had before and surprisingly addictive! Every meal was a culinary delight, made even better by the impeccable service. Dietary needs were handled with great care, and every guest was treated like royalty. John, our personal restaurant server, made each meal even more enjoyable with his kind, attentive service. Thanks John! Whether it was your first time cruising or you’ve done this before, Peony Cruises stands out for its service, attention to detail, and unforgettable setting. This wasn’t just a cruise, it was a celebration, a retreat, and an experience that left a deep impression on us both. Big thank to Vietnam Escape Tours and Vivian for booking this tour for us.

A magical and unforgettable experience on Peony cruise! Our time aboard Peony Cruise was truly unforgettable an absolute highlight of our Vietnam trip and a dream come true. We sailed on Peony for two nights, celebrating both our honeymoon and a birthday, and from start to finish, the crew made us feel incredibly special. On both days, they surprised us with beautifully decorated rooms filled with rose petals and balloons, and during dinner, our table was adorned for the occasion. There were special cocktails, a birthday cake, and even a mini performance by the crew. It was heartfelt, genuine, and absolutely unforgettable. Special thanks to Tom, Jasmine, and David for making every moment feel magical. Tom even took photos of our celebrations and shared them with us, a thoughtful touch we truly appreciated. One of our favorite moments was soaking in the jacuzzi with happy hour cocktails as the sun set over the bay. The upper deck lounge was the perfect spot to unwind, with panoramic views and a peaceful atmosphere. In the evenings, we enjoyed a cooking class and quiet time under the stars. That's perfect trip for us, will recommend it to all my friends!

After having done this cruise, there's something I could note down for your next trip on Ha Long. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, the vibe on board feels intimate and friendly. With a good guest-to-staff ratio, there’s always space to relax whether on your balcony, the sun deck, or in the jacuzzi. We met lovely people during our stay, thanks to the crew who often arranged seating to help guests connect. As an introverted, I appreciated it a lot! If Halong Bay is on your Vietnam itinerary (and it absolutely should be), we can’t recommend Peony Cruises enough. It may not be the cheapest option, but it offers incredible value for money with its top-tier service, beautiful setting, and thoughtfully curated experience. From rose petals to expertly planned activities, every detail felt special. We left with hearts full and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you to the entire Peony team, you made our trip truly unforgettable. We can’t wait to return.

What I liked the most during 3 days trip here is the itinerary. The itinerary was full but never let us felt overwhelming. From sunrise Tai Chi at 6:00 AM to squid fishing at night, there was always something to do. Kayaking, swimming, and visiting Cat Ba Island were definite highlights. The cave tour on the final day was peaceful and scenic, such a lovely way to end the cruise. The food was a real treat for us and also what we recommend to anybody are deciding which cruise to do. Lunches were served buffet-style, and dinners were multi-course set menus that felt like fine dining. We aren't the morning person so despite a few early breakfasts due to tour schedules, everything was served with warmth and care. If you have any gluten-free, vegetarian, or other dietary requests? No problem, the team was incredibly accommodating. White-glove service at dinner added a touch of elegance, and the cocktails during Happy Hour were delicious and surprisingly strong haha! If you choose the 3-day itinerary, the second day is spent on a day boat exploring deeper into the bay. You’ll bike or ride an electric car on Cat Ba Island, kayak in quiet coves, and relax on hidden beaches between towering limestone karsts. It’s well worth the extra time and money, we now feel so satisfied that we choose this instead of just 2 days in Ha Long Bay.

Not gonna lie, it was such an unforgettable Halong Bay experience with Peony Cruise. From the very beginning to the final farewell, our experience with Peony Cruises was nothing short of exceptional. We traveled as a couple and chose the 3 days/2 nights itinerary, a decision we’re so glad we made. It gave us the chance to slow down, fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Halong Bay, and enjoy all that the cruise had to offer. Our cabin is room 202 on the upper deck was beautifully decorated in Indochine style—spacious, spotless, with a generous balcony and even a luxurious bathtub. To our surprise, our bed was adorned with towel art and petals for our anniversary, making it feel incredibly personal. Everything from room cleanliness to comfort was five-star. Thanks for the crew member who went above and beyond to ensure guests felt welcome and cared for. Especially Mario and David, who took excellent care of us during meals, especially attending to dietary needs with grace and professionalism. Tom was our Cruise Manager, struck the perfect balance between informative, fun, and professional. Thanks a lot!

I love this cruise from the way that the crew were trained to be very good team serving best services to us. A special shoutout to Hugo, who made sure I never sat alone as a solo traveler, thoughtfully moving my table to join others I’d just met. I made some lovely connections on board, which made the trip even more special. The entire crew spoke excellent English, making communication smooth and easy. Their passion and effort to make every guest feel welcome and cared for really shone through. If you’re planning to visit Ha Long Bay, I cannot recommend Peony Cruises enough. Opt for the 3 day, 2 night tour if you can, it gives you so much more time to truly experience the beauty and tranquility of the bay. It’s the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and heartfelt hospitality. Thank you to the entire Peony team for making this such an unforgettable journey!

Our friends decided to choose the 3 days 2 nights itinerary and I'm so glad we did. One night would have been far too short for me actully! On the second day, we boarded a day boat to explore more remote areas of the bay, went biking (or by electric car if you have child or elderly) on Cat Ba Island, kayaked through peaceful waters, and relaxed on a hidden beach nestled between limestone karsts. It was a peaceful escape from the more touristy areas. Meals were another highlight. The buffet lunch was delicious and varied, and dinner was beautifully plated and served at the table. Maya took such good care of us throughout our meals, always with a cheerful presence. On our anniversary night, the crew even decorated our table and serenaded us with a song, it was incredibly touching. And during my birthday dinner, the staff surprised me with a cake and a cheerful applause from everyone. I was genuinely moved by how thoughtful everyone was. I couldn't speak highly enough of the wonderful time we had on board, 2 nights felt like a week of relaxing for us! Thank you so much.

Shout out to the team on Peony cruise! Candi went above and beyond to ensure I always had vegetarian options during meals, kept our drinks flowing, and never stopped smiling. Tom and Brian, our guides, handled all activities with good humor and efficiency, from kayaking and swimming to cave explorations. Tom was also a wealth of information during our excursions, always ready to help. Brian made squid fishing a fun group experience, and Kevin, our guide during the Cat Ba Island trip, shared so much insight into local life around Ha Long Bay. Life onboard was just as amazing. The ship itself has a rustic charm that fits perfectly into the landscape, with plenty of sunbeds, a jacuzzi, and a bar on the top deck—great for soaking in the sunset during Happy Hour. You can even start your mornings with a 6 am. Tai Chi class under the rising sun, and each evening, there’s a fun cooking class where everyone gathers around. I am so happy to have taken this cruise!

We joined the Peony Cruise as a family of three—my boyfriend and I, along with his mother, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable travel experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless and thoughtfully organized. Even though check-in at the pier looked a bit hectic, everything ran smoothly. A tender boat took us to the cruise, and we were warmly welcomed by the smiling crew, showered with flower petals, and offered a welcome drink by the lovely Maya. It was a beautiful first impression. Our cabin was spacious, spotlessly clean, and came with a private balcony—the perfect place to relax and soak in the breathtaking views. To our delight, our bed had been decorated with towel sculptures and rose petals for our anniversary. It was such a thoughtful and sweet surprise. Thanks the team for amazing experience! Vietnam is beautiful and Peony Cruise is beautiful too.

It rained the day we went but everything still went very well. The schedule is very well designed, you will have a lot of activities to choose and it is not compulsory at all, you can stay on the cruise and relax if you like. There's a lot of food mix of Western and Vietnamese cuisine and it's very tasty.

Memorable tour with Peony. The cruise was very clean with luxurious furniture. The staff was very enthusiastic and careful. They took a great care of my diet as I am a vegetarian. Very tasty food with many choices. In two days we got to visit many beautiful places, we have the opportunity to ride a bamboo boat rowed by the local people. We took many pictures and after that we enjoyed the time for swimming there with a clean and blue water of Lan Ha Bay. Such a waste that we didn't book the 3 days and 2 nights trip with Peony. I enjoyed my time here very much and felt it went by too quickly. I don’t want to say goodbye to Peony and Halong Bay at all. I would like recommend Peony and Halong to everryone. Thank you Mr Bobby and the crew for took care of us and gave us such a great trip.

Peony is awesome. We booked a 3 day and 2 night tour with Peony for a very good price. Everything above is perfect. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff speak very good English and the service is very warm and attentive. They always smile at us, and always make sure we have food. The excursions are also great. We were able to visit beautiful islands, caves with a rich history. They also took us to visit a beautiful fishing village located on the island called Viet Hai. We had a wonderful time here. It's so nice to be able to ride a bike while listening to the sound of the waves and the smell of the ocean. Everything was so good. Highly recommend for everyone. P.S: You should book a trip of 3 days and 2 nights to fully enjoy the beauty of Ha Long

We had a memorable Halong cruise trip with Peony. After traveling from Hanoi to Halong by limousine, we boarded the cruise with a warm welcome by the staff. After drinking welcome water and hearing introduction about Peony and the itinerary for the next three days, we were served a very tasty and hearty meal. the staff were very attentive she made sure we had drinks and adequate amount of food. Then we checked in. I must say the cabin looks great and luxurious. I feel like I'm in a five-star hotel with an extraordinary view. Thanks Vietnam Escape Tours for provided us such a great trip. Definitely go again.

Everything about Peony was perfect. The cruise is very new and beautiful. very good service. the staff are very welcoming and friendly. All activities in the itinerary are meticulously planned. You will have a variety of activities and still have enough time to rest and enjoy the view of Halong bay. I like the second day itinerary the most, I went kayaking, then visit the fishing village and learn about the life of the locals. The food was amazing with big portion, you will never feel hungry on the cruise. Happy hour was fun the menu is very diverse. The cabin has its own balcony and bathtub with the view over the bay. I would recommend take 3 days instead of 2 days to have time to explore the bay.

We had a great 2 nights cruising with Peony. Bright cave was so beautiful, we took so many pictures there. After that we had sunset party and a short cooking demonstration with Spring Roll dish, a tradional Vietnamese dish, it taste very good too. I also want to thank Ms Alice for help me get back my bag which I forgot on the tranfer car. She went out of her way to help me contact the car driver, thank to her I get it back without loosing anything. Great service, highly recommend to anyone.

Just finish 3 days 2 night cruise around Halong Bay with Peony and it’s was great. The room was very clean with a private balcony, so it was great to relax there and enjoy the view of Halong Bay. We visited so many extraordinary places like Viet Hai village, learn about the life of the people here. We had a chance to ride bamboo boat rowed by local people, it was interesting. Everything was so great and organised. Ken was a great manager and the staff were kind and attentive too. Would recommend to everyone.

What a memorable experience with Peony. Kayaking in the Bright cave area was amazing. I felt like I was lost in another world. After returning to the Peony cruise, we had a chance to experience making spring rolls, a very delicious and famous dish of Vietnam. Mr Son and Mr Bobby helped us a lot to make a perfect spring roll. The cabin was very comfortable, I am not used to sleeping in a strange place but when I slept here I had a very good sleep with the sound of waves crashing next to me.

This was our first time traveling by cruise and Peony did not let us down. Everything on the boat is very new and super clean. Feels like you're in a five-star hotel on the water. The staff are also very thoughful about my diet. The schedule is very various with many activities to suit the needs of each person. But you don't have to participate all if you don't want to, which I really like. If you have time, you should choose to go for 3 days and 2 nights to explore Halong Bay more.

3 days with Peony Cruise was incredible. We got to experience squid fishing at night after the meal, but because it was March, we didn't catch much. the staff told us that May is the ideal time to go squid fishing in Ha Long. Peony's cabin is very comfortable and luxurious. Looks no different from the pictures on the web. We have a private balcony where we can relax and enjoy the panoramic view of Ha Long Bay. The food was good too, not to mention the warm welcome of the Peony’s staff that made us feel like home. Definitely recommended.

We had a very memorable two days and one night trip to Ha Long with Peony Cruise Halong Bay. The food on Peony cruise was delicious. the service staff are very attentive. While kayaking in Frog Pond, I dropped my phone. The staff of Peony were very enthusiastic to help me find it again. Big thanks to Mr Son. I was so surprised at the friendliness and kindness of the people here. If you want to explore around Ha Long Bay then cruising with Peony won’t make you regret.

Had a great 2 nights in Halong Bay. The staff on Peony cruise was so professional and very friendly. They have a really great vegetarian food and the food portions were incredibly generous. The cabin was very clean as in the images. There are many activities you can do like swimming, kayaking at Luon Cave or simply just chill on the cruise. And happy hour was very fun too. Highly recommend for everyone.

Wonderful 2 days cruise around Ha Long Bay with Peony. Lan Ha Bay is very beautiful and not too crowded, many activities to do and it is not compulsory at all, so it felt so relax and comfortable. The staff of Peony was amazing and very funny, especially Mr Bobby. The accommodation was great with luxury interior and big balcony. Highly recommended to everyone.

We have an unforgetable 3 days 2 nights trip with Peony cruise. Viet Hai fishing village was very beautiful and peaceful. The sunset party was so fun. Felt so lucky to be able to watch the sunset in one of the most beautiful destinations in Asia. The facilities of Peony cruise were very new and convenient too. Strongly recommend this cruise!

2 days 1 night cruising with Peony was an amazing experience. Perfectly appointed room with amenities. All activities in the itinerary are organised very well. The staff of the Peony were take a good care of customers from the smallest details We cruised to many beautiful places like Dark and Bright cave and Frog Pond with various activities. The view of Dark and Bright cave was outstanding. This trip was worth every penny.

This cruise is amazing! The service of Peony’s crew is so impeccable. My room is comfortable, clean, and has its own balcony. On the top of the boat is a full bar and jacuzzi! I celebrated my honeymoon here and it was unforgetable. The itinerary was really well curated and the areas we went to were not too touristy or overcrowded. And thanks Peony crew again for being so thoughful about my diet as I cannot eat peanut. By the way the food was good and they fed you a lot. Everything was so fine so highly recommended.
