Sapphire Cruise - Luxury Halong Bay Tour 2 Days 1 Night

Posted By : O8060GFfrancescaa
Amazing staff, perfect amount (a lot) of food and very well presented (vegetarian very yummy), the views are breathtaking, we loved kayaking, happy hour and the little cooking lesson where we made spring rolls.

The room was perfect for us, quality exceeded our expectations as we had hot tub and balcony and it was cheaper than lots of other boats options. You can soak in the hot tub while having a drink watching the beautiful Halong Bay.

Karaoke, swimming, thai chi and the bamboo boat have made the 2 days 1 night cruise even better, the staff helped us with everything we needed and they were smiling and very welcoming for the moment we jumped on board till the end.

We met fantastic guests from Australia, Vietnam, and Europe and we absolutely loved the staff.

Thank you to all the team
HOANG the manager, MAX our super tour guide, James Bond the bar manager, the waiters and truly everyone who works on board.

Highly recommended

An amazing experience, we really enjoyed the cruise and the amazing views. The food on this cruise was very nice, quantities were large and the it was all tasty. My partner is vegetarian and they provided many vegetarian options for her. Mr Hoang and the rest of the staff were all very welcoming and friendly and made the experience even better.

An amazing trip. We went for one night 2 day tour. The company picked us up from the hotel, brought us to the pier in a car. Then transferred to a smaller boat where we travelled to the bigger sapphire cruise ship. This transfer is normal for Halong bay cruises. Sapphire cruise is one of the smaller cruise ships but i quite liked that as we had the opportunity to meet others on the cruise. It is an older style boat with wood paneling etc and I loved that. Food is varied and plentiful. Food is included. All drinks, including water and soft drinks are extra. We got a table an paid at the end of the cruise, which can be with card or cash. Just not that the prices do not include VAT and will be added at the end. Two 500ml bottles of water were complementary, any supplemental drinks brough on board were required to pay corkage. The room was really nice. The bed was big and comfortable, facing the window so beautiful views of Halong bay. There were loads of activities on the boat that were all included. There was a kayak trips for 30-40 mins around the bay and spring roll cooking lesson before dinner. Then after dinner there was squid fishing and karaoke. The next morning there was tai chi before breakfast then a local rowing boat to go and explore the caves. We did all the activities and loved them all. However i felt we were on the move all the time and never got the chance to enjoy the ship, just sit on the deck and enjoy the view. If i was to go again i would skip one activity. Staff all had excellent english and were all very friendly.

This is an amazing experience, it is smaller than other boats which makes it a more personable experience so you get involved and chat with other guests. The rooms are lovely we has a balcony cabin with dual aspect which was great when the sun came up. The food is plentiful and excellent quality. The staff were amazing . Activities included making of local spring rolls, kayaking a visit to a local cave and prions less squid fishing. Transport to the boat was great a little snug on our return. All in all a great experience that I would repeat

Very lucky with weather! Kayaking and swimming was nice! Only not as long as we would've liked.
Evening programm basically was karaoke, so people who didn't want to sing only had loud music on their relaxing sundeck.

We had a very good experience on the Sapphire Cruise. The staff is great, friendly and very helpful. Our cabin was also very good.
We came with a bus shuttle from Hanoi, which was also well organized. In Halong Bay we were able to go kayaking, swimming and enjoy the view, and on the morning of the second day we were in a cave.

Saw this cruise on Agoda, Klook, Booking and SinhTourist and went to book directly. Aside from a cheaper rate, they also provided free transfer service.

I was a solo traveler who went for a 2d1n trip sometime late May. Not sure why all the complaints about nothing to do — it’s a cruise lol. I came with that in mind and took the time to just really chill and look at the scenery and enjoy the bathtub. It was perfect.

Funnily I came on Vietnamese school holiday, so aside from 2 other travelers, the entire cruise was made up of a high school class and their parents. Was definitely an interesting experience — went kayaking with one of the mothers and we shared a pleasant conversation.

The staff were also nice. There was a female staff, I believe her name was Lynn, whom took great care of me and the other 2 international tourists. Room was perfect for me. I loved the jacuzzi bath. I believe I got a free upgrade to the corner room which had 2 balconies which were beautiful.

Food was great and sufficient. Every time I begin to get hungry, the next meal service started. Drinks were slightly pricey but wouldn’t blow a hole in the pocket.

Kayaking was fun. I didn’t swim nor fish for squids. Day trip to the cave was pretty well organized and nice. Didn’t join in the cooking class — I just observed. The spring rolls we made were nice. Didn’t go for morning taichi because I had a super good sleep. All in all, would go again, next time with a special other hopefully!
