The announcements were not loud therefore as we were on the top floor enjoying the sun, we didn't hear the announcement where they mentioned on the trip to the cave and so we missed that so was very disappointed.

Breakfast was very good

As a family of four, we spent 2 nights and 3 days. This cruise was the highlight of our trip. Facilities were excellent. We enjoyed thee kayaking and swimming. Also the food - they can easily cater for dietary requirements.

The set menu dinner, maybe having 2 options for the main, starter and pudding would be better as we had people in our group that struggled to eat a couple of the courses.

The boat was nice, the staff where helpful. The boat trips where good and well organised. The rooms where much bigger than we expected and was lovely to have a little balcony.

The room was clean and the facilities are really good. We got upgraded from Junior Suite to Suite, and the room was big and luxurious.

Tight itinerary will less than 24hrs on the boat. The buffet was good but the dinner was average. The boat only moves for 2-3hrs, rest of the time it standing still

Great boat with beautiful rooms. There is a charm to the experience of enjoying the scenery from your bed or even the sun deck

Two sizeable annoyances unfortunately. 1. Our room was right by the anchor meaning it banged all night, even vibrating the bed. The second night I moved to an empty room about midnight because I'd just had enough. It was somewhat quieter. 2. They send you out on a "day boat" for a sizeable part of your short stay. We booked the Indochine for some 5 star luxury. The day boat is like 2 star. Other cruise liners (e.g. Aqua of the Seas) had their own day boat and the quality and food served on that looked equally amazing as the cruise liner, whereas ours was basic and shared between other boats, I think Indochine unfortunately outsource the 8 hour trip. It was disappointing with low quality food, although the guide Tony was great. Other little things that could have made it better - we wanted a massage but there was no staff on board to do it, there was a grand piano (out-of-tune) but no pianist (so we played ourselves), the outside jacuzzi was only luke-warm and the weather was cold so not so enjoyable.

Pre-cruise: communication was effective and professional. On the cruise: Beautifully decorated and well maintained boat. I don't know why anyone would choose the personality-less sleek and shiny ones for Ha Long. Lovely staff - attentive and warm. Excellent food - the breakfast and lunch buffets especially. Little touches like warm teas on arrival, a blanket and towel for the day trips, free water etc all very nice. Lots of space and area to relax both inside and out - it's one of the bigger boats with 110 capacity but thankfully for our 2 nights no more than 60 aboard, most of which were larger groups from Taiwan and Iran. Almost all people are just one night. Only 4 of us 2 nights, but food and trips were not repetitive which was good. The cabins were really big, well-designed and a lovely balcony to sit on. En-suite also large and well stocked, lovely hot shower.

- transport from hotel could be cheaper, we used different company on way back and it was just as comfortable but much cheaper

- great boat - room was big and comfortable - lots of space to relax on top floor - there are not too many rooms, so it is not crowded - nice dinning room - all activities we took part in (cave/kayaking) were very well organised

We felt very comfortable from the beginning to the end. Our junior suite was upgraded free of cost to a honeymoon suite. Our suite was very spacious, luxurious and on the quite deck of the cruise. That was amazing!! All staff members were very professional, freindly and helpful. The food was excellent and it exceeded our expectations. The activities like swimming in the bay, kayaking or riding the sampans to the light caves in the Lanha Bay was magical. On the way to the light caves we even spotted some rare monkeys up the hills which was a bonus. Squid fishing was our highlight and we got lucky to catch one squid. It was a good experience. Of course, we let the squid go back to his natural habitat. At the end of our stay in the Indochine Cruise we decided to go to Nin Bihn. The staff (Bryan) went over the top and arranged for a very comfortable pick up from the Pier to our Hotel in Nin Bihn. It was perfect!! Overall I would definitely recommend Indochine Luxury Cruise to other couples and family.

We found a Cockroach in our bathroom but staff are kind to resolve

Loved the hospitality, pretty interiors, activities are good. Staff are good and understanding

Maybe more options after dinner. Neither bar seemed to be open, although given the early start the next day, it was probably the right decision.

Amazing scenery. Quality of staff, rooms and food.

Some of the announcements were only in Vietnamese, so we were not sure if we missed anything. There could be more activities for children to keep them occupied. More dairy and allergy alternatives during all meals would have improved the experience.

We enjoyed the kayaking a lot. It was very fun, and people were given the opportunity to either kayak or be in a boat rowed by one of the locals. We were free to roam the area and venture into the caves. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and there were regular updates over the tanoy. One of the staff even offered to give us their own sunscreen lotion. They made sure our onward travel was sorted even though it wasn't booked through them. The room was beautiful and spacious, and despite all the parties happening on neighbouring boats docked close by, you could not hear anything due to well insulated windows. Slept like a baby!
