Victory Star Cruise 3 days/2 nights

We took a trip to Halong Bay for three days and two nights and were very happy with our experience with Indochina Sails. We were collected by mini bus and driven the 3 hours to Halong Bay from Hanoi, where we met our guide and were then taken out to our boat. From the very start everything was perfect. The room/cabin was lovely and spacious with a door to a small balcony. The food for the whole trip was amazing! We were the only couple in our group to stay for two days, so when we got transferred to the day boat on the second day we had it all to ourselves complete with our own crew. We felt very special and were treated to a fun filled and exciting day. My Wife and I would certainly recommend Indochina Sails.

Everything was perfect! Stayed on the boat 3 days/2 nights. The boat (maybe needs some renovation at some points but sea and salt are very aggressive, so some marks of the years seem normal) was so nice and really out of one of the pirates of the carribean Movies. Great Food! Breakfast and Dinner as Buffet, lunch as menu - very tasty and fresh! Prices for beverages are okay, not included in the Price for the cabin. The staff is very warm and welcoming, available at any time. The Programm is really nice. We did the suprise cave (biggest one in Halong Bay) and our guide David have us a Lot of Information. On the Second day, you Switch to a day boat (the Big one tansfer the other guests, who Stay only one night on the boat back). The day boat is also very comfortable with a sundeck and a climatisation in the Lounge. We were the First Group at every sight (very important, because it�s very crowded somtimes in the Bay), saw Monkeys and did the Kayak Tour through the floating village.

Halong Bay is a world heritage area and I can see why. Nearly 2000 little islands in 2000 square kms and floating fishing villages. Great food, very comfortable ensuite room, plenty of activities and amazing scenery. The are only 5 of us doing 2 nights so we were transferred to a large "day boat" which can hold about 60 people and only 5 of us - There were 5 staff and a guide. Weather not too hot and overcast. Swimming good. I thought the drinks expensive but everything was very well done including seating by national flags. I think this is the right company but the junk was called "Victory Star"

We did the 2 night 3 day cruise on board the Victory Star, and can't say enough good things! Everything was well thought out and planned, the food was delicious, the rooms have private balconies, and the staff was amazing. I would highly recommend doing the 2 night cruise, as even with the 1 night option, most of your time is spent traveling. Also, most people opt for the one night, so the second day (when you go deeper into Halong Bay and away from the super touristy spots) it was just my boyfriend and I on the day boat. It was just our boat and some fishermen, it felt like we had the place to ourselves! If you are debating between the one or two night option, do the two night! There are so many options for cruises out there, and I highly recommend the Victory Star, we had an amazing experience from start to finish!
