Good choice in a beautiful place

Good choice of boat. Good food, fun activities, pleasant service. They coped very well with requests for gluten-free food and no seafood. My original departure was cancelled due to tropical storm but they contacted me, arranged a new date that suited me and helped me sort my transport to and from Halong (from Hanoi and to Ninh Binh)

Enjoyed the excursions to the pearl farm and cave. All the cruises seem to go to the same places.

Food was very good , probably the best I had in Vietnam. Staff is amazing, very friendly and engaging. I will 100% recommend Rosa Boutique Cruise. The only complain I have is about the fact that the water in the Ha Long area is becoming polluted with plastic and trash.

Pleasant overall. Can't really complain about the room or setvice. Perhaps just no Wifi and our room is a little noisy being quite close to the motor. Their Rosa Limousine Bus we took from Hanoi is a little underwhelmed. Big spaces, but the leg rest doesn't work and dirty floor carpet. Bus could definitely be maintained better.

Halong heaven

Great if you do the 3 day 2 nights. I think the 2 day 1 night option appeared a bit hectic with little time to relax and fully savour a magical place.

Comfortable and Cozy way to See Halong Bay

The Rosa Boutique cruise was a small size cruise that provides a comfortable setting to chat with other guests but enough space to sit quietly as well. The meals on the cruise are extensive and tasty. The guide was helpful and accessible. During the kayaking part, he joined the group to ensure everyone had a good experience.

food was pretty good and there was lots of it. they were very detailed in providing for those who had dietary restrictions. some of my favourite dishes were the fried fish (soooo soft yet crispy, no bones!!! very fresh) and the crabcakes, prepare for a seafood feast if you don't state any food restrictions. the itinerary was alright, i quite disliked the pearl farm but enjoyed the kayaking. weather was bad/foggy (what a pity!) so there was no visit to the beach. i found the cave visit on the 2nd day to be quite informative and interesting. our tour guide was horrible and spoke exclusively to a woman in our group in such a quiet voice that we had to eavesdrop on other guides. the staff on board can get a bit brusque at times. also, tips are not included and you do feel pressured at the end to give a bit. overall.. i'm not sure i don't regret going.

Stor oplevelse

Udmærket båd, fint værelse, sød besætning, lækker mad. Lidt malurt; hård seng, ikke mulighed for at spise ude på dækket, som vist på billede på hjemmeside, og lidt dyre priser på drikkevarer. Men generelt var det en dejlig tur!

We booked the 3-day, 2-night cruise. The highlights were kayaking among the karst formations, the sunrise view out the window of our cabin, and walking through several interesting caves. A couple of notes: 1) The R/T van ride from Hanoi is US$20 per person. 2) The 3-day and 2-day passengers are on the same boat. Day 1 and Day 3 for the 3-day passengers are the same as Day 1 and Day 2 for the 2-day passengers. For Day 2, the 3-day passengers are moved to a separate boat for the day, where you are taken kayaking (in a different spot than the first day) and caving and given the opportunity to hike to the peak of Ti Top, which has an excellent overlook of the bay. Unfortunately, it's also very crowded and chaotic there. Day 1 includes kayaking and a mercifully short visit to a pearl farm and Day 3 includes a visit to a quite spectacular cave and making spring rolls. The boat itself seemed a little old but well maintained. The food is nothing to write home about, but not bad either. Don't come expecting a big cruise ship experience - we saw some people complaining about the lack of activities but remember, you're on a relatively small ship with very limited space and staff.

Our tour guide was great, covering the activities that were promised, not feeling rushed for time and able to enjoy the cruise, he was also willing to help us book our bus trip to Ninh Binh from ha long bay and brought us directly to the bus Our cruise ship is modest, the room size is barely enough but comfortable. The bed does not feel clean and I slept with my silk sleeping bag. The bathroom has hot water but it is crammed, the toilet paper is lousy quality, the shower cubical is tilted which meant water would leak across the bathroom instead of into the drain. The food is plentiful but is mostly carbs (French fries, potatoes) and western food (potato salad, French fries) with a lack of Vietnamese local food to have an authentic experience

A great 2 night, 3 day trip onboard

Fantastic connecting cabins. Food amazing just far too much of it, it just kept appearing on our table!! Great itinerary - hectic but we expected this and it meant we saw lots! Staff wonderfully helpful and friendly, they even gave our son a fantastic cake as it was his birthday when we were onboard. Thoroughly recommend!

Bien mais activités trop chronometrées

Joli bateau, équipe aux petits soins. Dommage pour les horaires d’activités tous est chronométrés et aucune possibilité de flexibilité des animations. Seulement 1 petite bouteille d’eau offerte par personne pour les 2 jours sinon toutes les boissons dont l’eau sont payantes... Nous avions pris la navette de Hanoï à la baigné along haut de gamme ( bus limousine ), sur l’allée 1h15 de retard !! et le retour 30min de retard, dommage.. Mais le bus est très confortable.

Plutôt bien

La baie d'Halong est unique au monde, c'est un incontournable du Vietnam. Concernant les activités proposées par Rosa Boutique Cruise, j'ai un sentiment mitigé. J'ai préféré les 40 minutes de canoë dans ce décor sublime. J'ai moins apprécié la visite des grottes ravagées par les hordes de touristes qui deferlent quotidiennement. Les activités à bord après 20h30 sont inexistantes. Oubliées les promesses de squid fishing, les karaokés, les jeux de société. A part aller se coucher, il n'y a rien à faire. Concernant les repas, nous nous sommes bien régalés. Les plats sont très diversifiés et peuvent convenir à tout le monde. Les quantités sont astronomiques.

服務不錯

船有點舊了餐點是和其他客人(共三對)一起吃合菜，感覺有些彆扭導遊和船上工作人員整體服務良好河內接送服務是直接到飯店接送，一人來回USD 15。冬天船上很冷，房內有點冷船上只會提供各一瓶水建議自己可以在休息站買點水跟零食帶到船上，以免在船上肚子餓或沒水喝~~

Hit and Miss in Halong Bay

One for the bucket list. Halong Bay was beautiful, and well worth the visit, but would we go again, no we wouldn't. The area is far too commercialised and the cleanliness of the area needs to be improved. The boat itself was comfortable enough but the food sadly hit and miss, the service was great and the excursions interesting and well run. The Wifi wasn't great.

Wonderful cruise in an intimate group setting

What an amazing experience in Halong Bay! Minh (our tour guide) and his wonderful staff were so friendly and warm and made our experience an amazing time on our overnight cruise. Because we had a small group, they went out of their way to make everyone feel included and part of a fun group, throwing us a holiday party and adding various surprises throughout the cruise. They were also very accommodating as we had to catch a flight and handled all our return logistics without a hitch. I highly recommend this boutique cruise and the amazing crew that left a warm happy feeling in my heart for Vietnam!

Fabulous Cruise exceeded all expectations

Fantastic trip from beginning to end. My x2 teenage sons and I were part of a group of 14 people from around the world. Tom Tom our guide was very knowledgeable, fun and always asking if she could assist us further. The cabins were large with very comfortable beds, good showers and air conditioning available. The views were spectacular. The kayaking and cave visit a worthwhile bonus. There was a wide variety of excellent food at all meals. This tour provided personal attention and was not a mass production or a party boat. Pick this one.
