Exceptional cruise experience! We were upgraded to a stunning room with a private balcony — beautifully designed with incredible attention to detail. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the highlight was the amazing jet jacuzzi, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the view. The staff were outstanding — knowledgeable, courteous, and genuinely friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was flawless. I really enjoyed the daily activities, especially the chance to explore the surroundings by kayak. The food was also top-notch — with buffet lunches on both days and a delicious five-course dinner, you’ll never go hungry! I can’t recommend this cruise enough. My partner and I were looking for a peaceful and elegant escape to enjoy the beauty of Ha Long Bay, and this cruise went above and beyond all our expectations!

This cruise was absolutely amazing — we couldn’t rate it any higher! The views were breathtaking, the rooms were spacious and luxurious, and the staff were outstanding. A special shoutout to our guide and the captain — they truly made the experience unforgettable with their warmth, friendliness, and knowledge. We had the chance to go kayaking, take part in a cooking class, and visit a local fishing village — all beautifully organized and so much fun. If you're planning a cruise in Ha Long Bay, this is the one you should choose!

My experience on the 2-day cruise was fantastic. The room was luxurious, and the meals were great — lunch and breakfast were served buffet-style, while dinner was a delicious multi-course meal. The activities over the two days were fun and well-organized. The guests on board were a mix of middle-aged couples, groups of friends, and families with young children, though the majority were couples. Every crew member worked incredibly hard to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time. I would highly recommend Venus Cruise to anyone considering a trip to Ha Long Bay! After Halong Bay the bus could drop us off at NInh Binh instead of Hanoi. That is unexpected itinerary.

I was truly impressed by how well the entire team worked together to ensure everyone had a great time on this cruise. A big thank you to the director for resolving our booking issue so smoothly. Our guide and the cruise staff did an outstanding job! The attitude and hospitality of everyone on board perfectly reflect the warmth and kindness of the people in Vietnam. This was my first visit to the country, and I enjoyed it so much — I’ll definitely be coming back! Also, I have to mention the food — it was absolutely delicious! If you love seafood, you’re in for a treat, because there’s plenty of it on this trip! Vietnam Escape Tours have very good price discount for Venus Cruise and Halong Bay Cruise. That was the reason why i booked this cruise with Vietnam Escape Tours. i recommend you book the cruises in Halong Bay with Vietnam Escape Tours as it is a relible tour company in Vietnam and have many travel and cruise deal.

We had a fantastic experience! The location is absolutely stunning and truly unique. The boat itself was lovely, and our upgraded room was incredible — complete with a jacuzzi. All the excursions were well-organized, and the staff, including our guide, were incredibly helpful and fun to chat with. They were so friendly and sociable, which made the trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this company and the Venus vessel. Compared to some of the other boats we saw, which looked a bit worn and outdated, Venus really stood out in both quality and service.

Excellent service. Warm welcome. Clear and helpful information. The room on Venus Cruise was comfortable with a stunning view. The bathroom was luxurious and spacious, with a jacuzzi facing a window — simply perfect. Everything was spotlessly clean! The food was delicious, with a generous and tasty dinner. I highly recommend this experience! I'm leaving with wonderful memories on Venus Cruise Halong Bay. Our cruise manager was excellent too. He explained all things from safety information to other instruction on cruise clearly and always made sure all clients are happy with the trip in Halong. Thank Emma from Vietnam Escape Tours for a good deal for my group booking Venus Cruise. We had very good price comparing to other travel agency. i want to

The entire trip was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, we had such an amazing time. The bus of Venus cruise picked us up at 8.30 Am in our hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter and we arrived the Harbour at 11.30 AM with a break on the half way.The views were breathtaking, the activities were exciting, and we captured so many great photos and videos. The staff were incredibly friendly — truly going above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome and taken care of. A special thank you to our guide and the captain! They went out of their way to ensure we were all having fun and fully enjoying the experience. This is a trip we will never forget!

We truly enjoyed every moment of our honeymoon on the Venus Halong Cruise. The friendly, helpful crew, the spotless and comfortable room, and the stunning views made it absolutely unforgettable. Very large cabins of Venus Cruise Halong comparing to other cruises in Halong and that was the reason why i chose this cruise. Initially, we were unsure if 3 days and 2 nights might feel too long, but it turned out to be the perfect choice. It gave us just the right balance between fun activities — like visiting a local fishing village with our amazing guide Jay — and relaxing on board. I really recommend 3 Day 2 Night as you can have more time to enjoy the trip. Viet Hai Village on Cat Ba is beautiful and cycling there is amazing.

An absolutely amazing weekend escape! ☀️ The boat was modern and spotless, and the room was incredible. I’d like to give a big thank you to the captain for being so professional and welcoming — he made everyone feel right at home. The rest of the staff were also incredibly kind and attentive. All the activities were well-organized, and I had so much fun throughout the trip! The food was exceptional — I think Venus Cruise should definitely highlight their 7-course dinner menu because it was truly out of this world. I had an absolute blast and would highly recommend this experience to everyone! ❤️ The kayaking in Halong Bay is a thing you should not miss. It is sunny and hot but that is a good experience and it is unforgetable. You can request Vietnam Escape Tours to arrange a transfer from Ninh Binh to Halong for Venus if you start from Ninh Binh. They can arrange it easily and it was my case. I visited Tam Coc and stay overnight in Tam Coc and Vietnam Escape Tours could arrange the transfer for us from Tam Coc, Ninh Binh.

What an unforgettable experience with Venus Cruise Halong Bay! The boat was incredibly spacious — the rooms were so large it felt like staying in a hotel. The views from the private balconies were absolutely stunning. The whole trip felt like something out of a movie. Make sure you have plenty of storage on your camera, because you'll want to capture every moment on this cruise! 😊 A big thank you to the amazing staff — everyone was so friendly. Special thanks to Owen, the Cruise Manager, who was exceptional and stayed engaged with the guests the entire time. I highly recommend this cruise to everyone. Thank Emma from Vietnam Escape Tours for booking Venus Cruise Halong for us. Communication is very smooth and Emma is very informative and helpful so we did not have to worry about anything. We could ask any question 24/7 and even she helped us for the visa in urgent. Vietnam Escape Tours is reliable and trustful and i recommend you to book any trip in Vietnam with Vietnam Escape Tours.
