Guest Reviews
- Sébastien (10/5): - Personnel adorable , séjour très bien organisé, bateau propre et chambre confortable. Nourriture pas mal Mais les touristes envahissent la baie d’halong d’une façon impressionnante: Athena luxury tours a essayé d’optimiser pour qu’on arrive le plus tôt possible, nous les en remercions!
- Jimmy (10/5): - The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Our family had a wonderful experience with Arhena Cruise
- Margaret (10/5): - The food is excellent. They served a buffet lunch, sit down dinner and buffet breakfast. The ship is not new but very clean. The ship sailed on the outskirts of the islands and docked where you can still see the city and other cruise ships. Wish the shop went further in where we could see more islands. They stop at the big cave, Tip Top island where you can go to the top to take photos or swim at the beach within an hour. You can kayak into a lagoon which is very beautiful. The staff is wonderful. My kids loved learning to make spring rolls which is the snack before dinner. We thought squid fishing is a gimmick but people actually caught jelly fish. There were a couple of huge jelly fish swim by at night. Tip is not included. Please remember to tip generously as there are around 25 workers in the ship who work very hard to provide the best service.
- Tommi (10/5): Amazing Ha Long Bay cruise for vegetarians! - An amazing cruise! A perfect blend of guided activities, relaxation and stuffing our faces with delicious food. The cruise directors did an excellent job keeping things moving and clearly knew their jobs well. Every moment felt perfectly coordinated. Our room was very nice and well equipped and their ability to cater to us vegetarians was a very positive surprise. We would very much consider doing another cruise with Athena!
- Michael (10/5): - Staff very friendly and the room was great
- Phil (10/5): - Tim, the cruise director was amazing. He was there to meet us from our transport provider. Made sure we knew what was happening. He made sure the whole trip went seamlessly. Staff very pleasant. The was food delicious and plenty of it. Would highly recommend. Eileen and Phil
- Louis (8/5): - Dislike: The ground of the shower room is slippery. Water was not included in dinner.
- Monica (6/5): Pagas más de lo que es !!! - crucero viejo, decorado para parecer un hotel boutique, hace que se vea mejor de lo que es en realidad. Te cobran todo extra. Lo que más resalta en todo la estadía es el servicio del personal. Un 10 / 10 excelente. La belleza de Ha Long Bay, hace que te olvides de que te cobraron tanto por un barco que no es más que un viejo barco renovado.
- MARIA VICTORIA (10/5): - Barco muy recomendable. Camarotes amplios y bien equipados. Personal super amable y gran cantidad de actividades. La comida deliciosa
- Peter (10/5): - Highly recommend this company. The staff and food exceptional. Attention to details in all areas. The excursions are carefully selected and they were all amazing. The rooms are beautiful and it was enjoyable to relax on the balcony. I recommend the 2-nights/3-days if you can. We truly got to enjoy Halong Bay to the fullest.
- Minh (10/5): - Staff were amazing!
- Ngoc (10/5): - Amazing staff , who are friendly and helpful , esp Tim and Hanh
- soukpanom (10/5): - very good food all the staffs they are awesome we will come back again
- Verified traveler (8/5): - スタッフさんは優しくて誠実に接してくれるけど、設備が若干弱い。シャワーがめっちゃ熱かったり勢いが弱かったり、、、、
- Oliver (10/5): Great food, excellent service, beautiful boat - Really excellent stay with Athena Cruise. staff were so friendly and attentive. The boat was clean, modern and beautiful. Top quality food with buffet style as well as table service depending on the day in the schedule. My partner doesn’t eat fish and they happily substituted any seafood dishes with meat alternatives for her. Only dampener was the weather, but of course nothing could be done about this, and it didn’t take away from how gorgeous and relaxing the trip was. Our tour Manager - Tim was excellent too - fluent English, and the tours were fab - Athena look to take you to the Caves as the first visitors of the day (so up early) so you miss the masses of people, so it’s totally worth it. Excellent boat and activities - would do again in the summer time.
- keylla (10/5): Very good - Everything was very good. Felix was great and funny.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Stay at Athens Royal Cruise was fantastic! Captain manager Tim and his team were very accommodating, helpful, friendly and professional. Itinerary was well organised and well thought. Food was good. It’s more like modern Vietnamese. Tim and Phillipe were very attentive to my mum’s food request. Generous portion - 6 courses! We were well looked after until the end. Scenery from the room / balcony was just breathtaking although the weather wasn’t the best. I highly recommend you stay for 2 nights, it definitely worths it if you have extra time. Specially thanks to Diem, who made my mum’s stay more joyful with her smile.
- scott (10/5): - Amazing! Loved the beautiful room, amazing staff and gorgeous scenery. Food was good with lots of options.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had an amazing stay on the cruise. Food was average but everything else was incredible. Would highly recommend
- Maria (10/5): - Helt igennem bare en god oplevelse. Super serviceminded personale og skøn mad.
- Gustavo (10/5): - El crucero es excelente y esta muy bien diagramado todo el periplo El lugar es soñado y vale la vena visitarlo El crucero es de los mejores en el lugar
- Verified traveler (8/5): Oikein hyvä - Tyytyväinen valintaan, viihtyisä ja siisti. Pieni saunakin löytyy, tosin sulakkeet ei kestänyt normaaleja saunomislämpötiloja. Mutta kokonaisuudessa voi suositella!
- Andres (10/5): - The staff service, specially the manager was attentive. Excellent service, he went above and beyond, super friendly and helpful! The bedding was so comfortable and the food was delicious!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Incredible! Staff was amazing and the boat was very nice. Loved our stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great customer service all round and worth the money for such breathtaking views in a luxury cruise. Highly recommend
- Samir (10/5): One of the best cruises in Halong Bai Tu Long Bay - We had a memorable experience with Athena cruise. The family suite was very good. Mr. Ha , Mr. Chin and the entire staff was caring and friendly. We were pampered and spoilt with lots and lots of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. We had good kayaking, Tai Chi and cooking experience. Bai Tu Long Bay was very beautiful with abundance of natural beauty. I am so happy that I chose Athena over other cruises.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Crociera di per sè molto carina, il valore aggiunto è proprio il personale che si è dimostrato affidabile, professionale e disponibile in maniera incredibile. Non è semplice trovare una simile professionalità nel Sud Est asiatico. Cabina molto carina con grande bagno e con un terrazzino minuscolo. Ci saranno penso un 50 ospiti forse 40. Il mangiare buono e vario, veniva effettuato il refill dei piatti di portata quindi un all you can est. La sera invece si veniva serviti al tavolo.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wir hatten eine extra grosse Kabine bekommen als gratis Upgrade, das hat uns sehr gefallen!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - El crucero llenó nuestras expectativas, muy bueno, la atención impecable y todos muy profesionales!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best hospitality - Special mention to Ha for making my father so happy with the coffee, and to Quang for taking care of us (thanks for the cap). Wonderful trip!
- potato (8/5): - Beautiful scenery and pleasant cruise Route of this cruise is following comparatively quiet area, and I preferred this a lot including beautifully lit up cave rather than other famous one's in Ha long bay. Cabin is nice and clean, crew's hospitality is warm and welcoming, and food is delicious. I definitely recommend this cruise.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Overpriced !! - It is marked as a 5 star hotel, but actually under 3 star level on facility and services. Meal is included but No any drinks was provided, even water need to be paid. It is a overpriced hotel and the facilities is way out of Date.
- Kathryn (10/5): First class service - So glad we chose this company for our Halong Bay cruise. The service couldn’t have been better from start to finish. All of the staff go out of their way to make sure everything runs smoothly. Loved the boat. The cabin was very comfortable & loved sitting on the balcony enjoying the scenery. The food was top class. Excellent value for what we paid. Would definitely recommend this cruise & company.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great Cruise - Everything is very good, except the brunch in the departure day. Free room upgrade was offered.
- MICHIRU (8/5): 優雅なハロン湾のクルーズ船 - 船室はとても清潔で各部屋にテラスがありとても快適です。カヤックや春巻き作り、鍾乳洞見学、イカ釣り、太極拳などアクティビティとランチ、ディナーはコースで提供。そして軽い朝食にブランチまで。アクティビティ、食事全てが宿泊する料金に含まれます。オプションのシャトルバスも豪華で乗り心地良かったです。スタッフも親切。特にアテナクルーズ予約係のティナさんの心温まる対応に感動しました。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - V good n cosy environment.friendly staff n excellent guide mr kevin
- Julie (10/5): Worth every penny and can’t wait to go back! - Great ship, one of the newer and more luxurious. They cruise from a lesser known and still not over developed bay which means you get to enjoy the natural splendor of the karst mountain formations without loads and loads of crowds. The team was absolutely incredible: warm, friendly, flexible, and so accommodating to my various requests. The room was modern and comfortable. The food was alway exclusively presented, like art! Definitely book the 2 nights 3 days because you will not want to leave!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wohlfühlschiff - Sehr guter Service und großartige Zimmer, abends mit Menü
- Leonard (10/5): Great Cruise, Better View. - I loved the cruise. It was one of the best tours I have ever been on. It was quiet and relaxing but also informative. The boat manager was friendly and knew a lot about the area and the history of Halong Bay.
- alice (6/5): - 객실내에 위생상태가 너무 안좋았어요 크루즈라 이해하고 가기엔 너무 찝찝했어요 음식은 그냥 그냥 .. 1박이라 다행이었어요
- Kim (2/5): Cruise was broken down. - The shuttle bus driver from Hanoi drove very slowly(maximum was 70km, normally 40~50km even with empty road) and did not know the way to Halong Bay <-> Hanoi which caused delay in arrival(took 4.5hrs drive without pit-stop). Upon arrival, we were taken to another cruise without any information on the changes. The itinerary was NOT the same at all. Only after clarification and complaints on why the cruise was changed, they explained that Athena was broke down in the morning that day and mentioned that we were "upgraded". Did not think it was an upgrade as the room was much more smaller than which was supposed to be provided in Athena cruise.
