It was beautiful in the bay and the boat itself was very nice. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and friendly. There is a lot of wait and travel involved and the activities are basic but if you want to relax with beautiful views its perfect.

Out of 600 odd options in Halong Bay we chose Era cruises. From Hanoi to Halong Bay and the cruise, everything was very well organised by Mr Duc and his team, It is an experience to remember. Team at Era cruise were so very helpful all along. The room itself was outstanding.

Great fun on the Era boat!

The boat cruise was a fantastic experience for us. We were impressed by the professionalism and kindness of the crew and manager, who went out of their way to accommodate our needs and preferences. The food was amazing and abundant, and the activities were entertaining and diverse. We loved the views, and the atmosphere. The only minor drawback was that some of the hotel amenities were a bit outdated and damaged. For example, the shower glass was cracked and he refrigerator in our room was malfunctioning. I would still highly recommend this boat cruise to anyone who is looking for a fun and memorable vacation.

Around the property was wet , the cruise was very nice great staff , delicious food and Halong Bay unique place. The only unexpected unmentioned was the transfer by boat from the terminal to the ship and back again after the cruise. Was bout 45 minutes each way on the slowest launch ever , no kidding we got passed by at least a dozen other launches making transfers . Dats it

Nem de longe um Cruzeiro de luxo

Escolhemos este barco pois ele parecia novo, apenas parecia. Nosso quarto tinha cheiro de esgoto, o chão era grudento, como se algo tivesse sido derramado e ninguém limpou, e havia apenas 1 tomada funcionando no quarto inteiro, e esta estava com fios expostos e desmontando da parede. A comida do almoço do primeiro dia era boa, agora as jantas eram horríveis, assim como o café da manhã, que servia apenas pão com manteiga. Outra questão foi o transfer que reservamos através da empresa do Cruzeiro, indo e voltando de Hanoi. Solicitamos a volta para o aeroporto e em nenhum momento foi nos dito que não seria possível levar até lá, e no momento que soubemos que não levariam até o aeroporto e sim só em Old Quarter, foram ríspidos ao tentar resolver, colocando a culpa em nós, os hóspedes. Assim como foi a reação da equipe do barco ao ver nossa avaliação que eles mesmos pediram para fazermos. A melhor parte sem dúvidas foi o passeio a Viet Hai/Cag Village, que era terceirizado. A comida foi muito boa do almoço, assim como o passeio em si.

Mr. Lee and his staff went above and beyond my expectations and hospitality experience. I’m finding that in just about any facility here in Vietnam, the level of excellence is slightly degraded, but only slightly. We had an incredible, beautiful room, and despite the lack of time our experience was filled with excursions and Activities keeping us busy for the full 24 to 30 hours we were with them. I would highly recommend anybody who wants the most luxurious and immense room with a Jacuzzi bathtub to melt your trip fatigue away from, book two nights with Era cruises. I can’t recommend them anymore than I already have for the experience, and the scenery was unmatchable. Thank you again, Mr. Lee and his staff.are definitely an A1 in my book. Bravo, bravo, bravo Steven and Jinsuk. 🙌👏🙌👏🙌

The staff contacted me on what’s app the night before around 10 pm to let me know that they were putting us on another cruise, I was upset they waited so long to let me know but they assured us the cruise ship was very similar to the cruise ship I originally booked and only been in operation since last year December 2023 but when we got on the cruise ship it was pretty obvious the cruise ship had been running longer than that. Even though the cruise ship was still in good condition there were obvious signs of wear and tear that to me made it hard to believe that it was running less than a year. The transportation to the cruise ship was horrible, they packed over 50 people on to a smaller boat, there was no air circulation and it was so hot, humid, and hard to breathe. The typhoon had just came by a few days prior so there was quite a bit of trash in the bay and they didn’t let us be in Halong Bay at all, we were only able to cruise Lanha Bay which is understandable because there was still so much trash and debris. No wifi available on the boat. Food was ok. Staff on the other hand was very nice and tried to be as accommodating as possible.

It Was Just Okay, Not The Best.

I would not say it is a luxurious cruise. No swimming pool on the deck, and food selection is quite scarce especially for us, Muslims. The arrangement is not synchronized. I had been dealing with tons of emails before the departure and when I arrived, they still got my name wrong. The lead tour, Duck could have been slightly nicer (found him to be fierce and sometimes rude when asked more questions). The program and activities were a little bit boring. Took us swimming and kayaking in a dirty part of the ocean. My towel got stained during the trip, and when asked for a new towel from the guide, Andrew, he refused to lend another with an excuse only one towel for one guest (although there were only 5 people in our group and they had around 40 towels on the boat). Viet Hai Village was the only fun thing on the trip. People who only stay for 1 night will not do Viet Village and the Bat Cave is really boring. I found a one-night itinerary is a bit too rushing though. The only thing I liked was the bathtub with jacuzzi inside my room by the glass window. Other than that, it was just okay and it was not a great experience for me.

We really wanted to try a stay in Halong Bay for our trip and booked this cruise. However, our room was a little damaged. We had two twin beds, and one of the ottomans at the end of the bed had a massive yellow stain on it. In addition, one of the windows in our room had a long crack in it (it was probably around 4 feet long total and spanned most of the width of the window). Lastly, when we came in our AC wasn't working at all. Other than our room, the cruise felt very rushed and the food was plated / presented really well, but the quality of food was really low. Lots of chewy, poorly cooked meats. Our guide for the trip was fantastic and very outgoing, and loved his energy. However, everything else felt lack luster. In regards to travel, the schedule was not clearly communicated before the trip - we thought we would disembark around 930am and return to Hanoi around 1230pm, however we didn't dock at the marina again until 12pm. The shuttle service they provide to and from the marina also stops at a different, local place for a "bathroom break" for 30 minutes where it feels forced for tourists to buy souvenirs / food. This happened to us both on the way there and on the way back. Lastly, if you sit outside, you will be harassed by locals on boats trying to sell you snacks, drinks, etc. It was constant. Overall, we wouldn't book this cruise again. We would want to do 2 nights instead of 1, and try out a different cruise to see how the quality and experience might compare.
