Cozy Bay Classic Cruise

Typical Halong Bay experience: Kayaking, Titop Island & Surprise Cave - Tour guide was great - Great food, also for vegetarians and vegans

Please note: There is NO DELUXE ROOM! I paid more to get a better room than the classic room. On the cruise I was told my classic room (small and in bad condition, lots of mold and dirty bed sheets) is the deluxe room and there is no cheaper option. So why is it possible to book it online then? After several discussions with the company they said there is only „deluxe“ and „superior/honeymoon“ and no classic room. They gave me back the extra money I paid for having a better room. This deluxe thing is a scam. So do yourself a favor and dont pay more for it, just book the classic room instead! - Prices for drinks are given in USD, but they want you to pay in Viet Dong. Or if you pay in USD they will give you change in Viet Dong. Their exchange rate is extremely bad so they can make even more money from you. - Transfer from and to Hanoi not included, has to be paid on top - All placed are totally overrun by tourists as all boats go to the locations at the same time, so enjoying Halong Bay is quite difficult. It does not make sense at all, as afterwards the locations are completely empty, so why not split up a little? - Keep in mind that there is nothing to do on the cruise. So most of the time it is pretty boring, as everything looks the same and you are not entertained at all (except karaoke singing in the night)

I got to have an affordable overnight cruise on Halong Bay which was amazing. The guides were excellent and I loved the social connections I made with other travellers. I even reconnected with them in other places around Vietnam!

I was expecting basic facilities for the price but the boat was terribly run down… The bed was hard, the toilet didn’t flush properly, the tiles on the bathroom floor were cracked and the shower was not great. Given the number of paying customers taking this cruise, I can’t help but think the boat should be taken out of action for a few weeks and refurbished.

A fantastic experience exploring Halong Bay amongst the company of 17 other travellers. Our tour guide Tam was amazing and his knowledge of the area was outstanding. Tam & the other crew on the boat could not have done any more for us where their service was amazing. Highly recommend this cruise & experience.
