Review: Very well organised cruise. Great staff ready to help anytime. Twan at customer services was excellent in organising a surprise anniversary event for us making us feel very special. Brilliant cruise

8.0 Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it, particularly since some of the other cruise boats looked a bit rough - brendan 14-02-2025

Positive points: What’s worth knowing is that this isn’t a cruise in the conventional sense, it’s more like living in a hotel with a simply stunning 360deg vista, the boat does move about a bit and the view changes.
Each family group is assigned an assistant to look after you while you are onboard, this is a nice personal touch and our attendant ‘Van’ was very professional, helpful and friendly.
For the trips you go on a smaller tender or a larger day boat, you get fed lunch on the day boat and the food was plentiful and delicious and I’m a very fussy eater.
The day boat has snacks and drinks you can buy and they take US dollars and local cash.
The trips were good, our kids really enjoyed them.
The food on the big boat was okay but the breakfast choices were limited and the quality was poor.
If you just want to see the beautiful Ha Long Bay I would recommend the 2 day 1 night option.
If you want to do trips and see a bit more, take the 3 day 2 night option we did this.

Negative points: There was no functional WiFi due to the location, it’s a world heritage site so masts are not allowed, this caused the kids to get bored. Unfortunately there is no other entertainment to keep people occupied. The squid fishing was a disaster since they only had 4 fishing rods for the whole ship.
The ship also badly needs a shop to be able to buy snacks and drinks, this was serious omission.

10.0 Unforgettable 3D2N cruise - Mohamed 31-03-2025

Review: I had an amazing experience on Catherine Cruise! The ship was modern and comfortable, the food was delicious, and the scenery was simply breathtaking. Everything was well-organized, making for a smooth and relaxing trip.

The staff were incredible, especially our tour guides, Thuy and Ella, who were so sweet and attentive. As a solo traveler, I truly appreciated their kindness—they even took beautiful photos for me to take home! The cruise manager was also very helpful, ensuring everything went perfectly.

From the stunning views to the exceptional service, this was a memorable and worthwhile experience. I highly recommend Catherine Cruise for anyone visiting Halong Bay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review: An Unforgettable Cruise Experience!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a cruise that exceeded all my expectations, and I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible staff on board. From the moment we stepped on the ship, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine eagerness to make our journey memorable.

The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our guide, who was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our experience was perfect. Their enthusiasm for the destinations we visited was contagious, and they took the time to engage with each guest, making us feel valued and appreciated.

It was evident that the entire staff was dedicated to providing exceptional service, but the one that we came across like Thuy, Chi, Will, Ella, Tony and Minh truly stood out. They shared fascinating stories, offered insightful recommendations, and created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel like part of a family rather than just passengers.

This cruise was more than just a vacation it was an experience filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments, all thanks to this incredible staff. I was even upgrade to better room and view. I wholeheartedly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a friendly and helpful crew that will make your journey truly out of this world! Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

10.0 best way to explore Ha Long Bay - Tímea 19-03-2025

Review: We loved our trip. First day was foggy, still amazing to see. Staff is super friendly, we had an amazing butler, special thanks to Tony. The food was really good and plenty. The cabin is very spacious, loved the huge windows and the terrace. Both the cave and the island programs were definitely worth the visit. We had very attentive tour guides, thank you Ma Tieu. The ship manager arranged us transfer very last minute also very grateful for that.

10.0 Adventurous with the right amount of relaxation and amazing views. - Aura 08-01-2025

Positive points: This cruise is just advertise. The stuff are really helpful unfriendly and they have a lot of activities for you to partake while staying there. I will suggest to do three days and two nights so you can really experience Halong Bay.

9.2 Get the 2 Night Cruise - Marie 04-03-2025

Review: The 2 night cruise was just right to enjoy the big room, private balcony, bathtub, good food. I particularly chose this for the itinerary - Day 1 Sung Sot Cave and Ti top Island, Day 2 Pearl Farm, Viet Hai Village, Kayaking, Ba Trai Dao beaches. The outdoor hot big pool with jacuzzi was wonderful on a cold day. Skipped the last day tour to just enjoy the cruise. Thank you too for the unique birthday greeting “ritual”. Also good for people celebrating their anniversary!

6.0 Full of promise, doesn’t deliver - Harvey 02-01-2025

Positive points: Cruise ship stands out immediately as one of the more modern boats on the bay. Bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve had all trip and the room itself is pretty amazing and luxurious. We did the 2 night, 3 day cruise and surprisingly the best part was the full day excursion we did that wasn’t on the boat. Had tons of fun biking and kayaking around the bay.

Negative points: The staff try hard and are friendly. But the value for money was really disappointing. The buffet at breakfast was incredibly sea food heavy and the set menu at dinner was drawn out and was mediocre. We thought by splurging on this cruise we were going to avoid this but upon reflection, we should have just spent less on a different cruise. The itineraries are really full on and so we didn’t feel relaxed at all and spent less time on the boat than we thought.

10.0 Beyond Exceptional - Lee 02-12-2024

Positive points: Absolutely amazing cruise!!! Our butler Marcus was amazing and the whole staff took care of us from beginning to end with smiles on their faces. One of the new cruise employees who had just arrived in the last two weeks took us on the excursions even spoke French to me and she was absolutely delightful! The boat is beyond beautiful, the itinerary was so smooth and we enjoyed every minute of it. And the food was beyond amazing with course after course after course. I can't recommend this cruise enough! Perfect 10!
