Spa & Massage
One of the characteristics of Asian life is massage. It's a great way to relax and although it may sometimes seem rough, the body loses its stiffness and after the end of a session, most people feel completely refreshed. You can expect to get knots out of your tired muscles. It may be related to some very short-term pain but that does not disappoint. Massaging your feet against pressure points on your foot can also have a positive effect on other parts of your body. After a busy day with water activities, such treatment is a great way to relax before dinner.

United Kingdom"A Serene Escape in Halong Bay"
My recent cruise tour in Halong Bay was a serene and relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The bay's ethereal beauty captivated me from the moment we set sail. The emerald waters and towering limestone karsts created a tranquil atmosphere that allowed me to unwind and reconnect with nature. I have no more word to express my great experience in here, i will be back with my fam.

"If you're looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure, this cruise tour is a must!"
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a cruise tour in Halong Bay, and I must say it was an absolute delight. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew greeted us with warm smiles and made us feel right at home. The ship itself was elegant and well-maintained, with comfortable cabins and stunning panoramic views of the bay. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the breathtaking scenery of Halong Bay. The limestone karsts rising majestically from the emerald waters created a truly magical ambiance. We were able to explore hidden caves and grottoes, and the knowledgeable guide shared fascinating stories about the bay's history and geology. Kayaking through the bay's tranquil waters was a surreal experience, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty surrounding us. We was so so happy in this time! Thank you guys so much!

United Kingdom"Should choose Athena cruise"
We were very relaxed for 3 days 2 nights on the Athena Cruise. We got a comfortable cabin with a small balcony. We were served by the excellent staff and the great cruise manager with excellent services. 10/10 points for all of them. Besides the accommodation, the food for all meals on board was fine, too. And thank you so much for celebrating our birthday on the cruise. How surprising it was! Thank you so much! I loved Athena Luxury cruise!

NewZealand"A wonderful trip with Athena"
Athena cruise was an amazing stay. The staff always was willing to help us with anything. We got great cocktails and nice chat from Nguyen at the bar. On the second day, we got the chance to go further to the bay and could swim in a very quiet beach. So lucky that the weather was nice, and we could enjoy the stunning sunset from the cruise.

China"Holidays in Vietnam"
We had pleasant 2 days 1 night sailing with Athena cruise. Everything was taken care by the cruise team so well from start to finish. All we needed to do were to enjoy the cruise trip and the breathtaking views of Bai Tu Long Bay. we were always taken care by the cruise members, special thanks to Ms. Gin – the receptionist, Mr. Nguyen, Mr. Chien – the cruise manager and other crews for your helpfulness. The dishes were so delicious and decorated beautifully. The cruise cabins were very clean and with comfortable beds and soft pillows. Thank you, Athena Cruise!

Canada"We recommend Athena Cruise"
We joined the tour to Bai Tu Long Bay with Athena Cruise. The Athena was a luxury cruise. Spacious, clean, and tidy! Both cruise manager and staff were very professional, polite, and friendly. The cruise manager, Mr. Tonic was so nice to ask carefully about my sons’ food allergies and adjust the menu for them. He was on the top of the great members. My sons enjoyed their meals safely and deliciously. The cruise manager, Mr. Chien was a great leader, too. He took the responsibility of caring for all activities and services and always made all guests feel comfortable and happy. We enjoyed every single moment of the cruise trip with the help of Mr. Chien.

Malaysia"Family holiday with Athena Cruise"
Athena Luxury was a fabulous cruise and a wonderful stay in Bai Tu Long Bay. the crews were so attentive to us. Should say thanks to Mr. Tonic, the restaurant manager for his kindness and caring. He helped us with medication when I was headache on the cruise. The crews’ English was so good that there were no difficult in communication each other. Thank you so much.

United States"Amazing Cruise trip"
Everything on Athena Cruise was very outstanding. During my 10 years of traveling, this was the first time I had joined a great cruise like Athena cruise. It’s a must-do to visit Halong Bay at least once.

Australia"Athena Luxury Cruise - The best one in Bai Tu Long Bay!"
Athena cruise was a real luxury 5-star cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay. the cabin was nice with very comfortable beds. We also had excellent food, fun activities, incredible services. The most impressive thing to me was the services taken care of by the professional staff. They were on the way to make sure all great services, especially Mr. Ha, and Mr. Tonic – the cruise manager and the restaurant host. We loved Athena Cruise.

Colombia"Great services on Athena Cruise"
Athena Cruise not only gave us a wonderful cruise trip but also satisfied our desire of visiting the wonder bay. The staff was always responsible for our requirements. Tonic always took care of our dietary requirements. The tour was well organized to visit the fishing village. Dinner was so lovely and romantic, especially for couples with honeymoon tours.
Nathan
Singapore"Bai Tu Long Bay Cruise"
This was the second time I took a cruise to visit Halong Bay, particularly Bai Tu Long Bay this time. There were about 60 overnights cruises in Bai Tu Long Bay, which is much less than those in Halong Bay, so it was less crowded. A bonus for our cruise trip was that the weather in December was so fantastic. The cruise staff was super nice and helpful. They served us with many dishes of food. My wife was allergic to nut, and the cruise member, Mr. Chien made sure to take all nuts out of his meals. So nice of him. Thanks so much!
Tryphena
United States"One of the best cruises I've been on Halong Athena Cruise"
I recently made a trip to Vietnam and joined Athena Cruise. And I must say that this cruise ship was one of the best ones I had joined so far. I was a pure vegetarian, so it was difficult for the cruise staff to make different food for me. But they prepared delicious vegetarian meals for me, and normal food for other members of my family. I had not been met any chef who took the best care like Mr. Tonic. He was the best chef of Halong Athena Cruise. Thanks so much. Also, please send my thanks to Mr. Ha, the cruise manager, for his help and caring for all activities and our requirements onboard.
Sunny
Australia"Amazing Experience on Athena Cruise"
My husband and I spent 2 days of our Vietnam trip on Athena cruise. We loved this cruise. Our cabin was so nice and comfortable. The staff was so courteous and helpful. The facilities on the cruise and the cabin was modern and luxurious. We loved the meals they served us and the cruise itinerary they organized. Thanks all for a beautiful cruise trip in Bai Tu Long Bay. Thank you, Tonic for great food.

China"Experienced excellent services on Athena Cruise Halong Bay"
We spent 2 most memorable days in Bai Tu Long Bay with Athena Cruise. We were provided excellent services by the cruise manager Mr. Chien and the cruise team. All of them made us very comfortable to stay on Athena Cruise. And they provided us awesome food. The chef Mr. Tonic took care of us so well. And I could see that all passengers enjoyed his food happily. Highly recommend Halong Athena Cruise to all relatives and friends!
Melisia
Argentina"Great services and delicious food – but the bad weather that the cruise team could do nothing!"
We chose Athena Cruise because this cruise followed the route to discover Bai Tu Long Bay – a part of Halong Bay. Bai Tu Long bay was less touristic and quieter than Halong bay, but the beautiful scenery was the same. However, the weather was not good that day, so we could not enjoy all the beauty of the bay. We always were keen on with smaller and luxury cruise rather than the big and crowded one. And honestly, Athena cruise didn’t let me down.
The staff was welcoming us with their smiles, helpful and friendly. The food was decorated well and also tasty. We wondered how they could do all meals for many people in the small kitchen on the cruise. We read the reviews from previous clients that lunch was served soon at 09.30 am on the 2nd day, but I thought it was not lunch, it was a brunch in Vietnamese style with noodles… If you didn’t want this meal, you could enjoy a lot of other food like fruits, bread, eggs…
And additionally, the cabin was a very comfortable stay. It was better than staying in a hotel in the city.

Canada"My choice – Halong Athena Cruise"
We used to be very embarrassed when we had decided to choose which cruise to join. Finally, we decided to go with Halong Athena Cruise, and it was a right choice. Athena Luxury Cruise, Vietnam didn’t make me disappointed. The cruise director, Mr. Chien (I hope to write a right Vietnamese name) was courteous and supportive. And the restaurant host, Mr. Tonic, was a nice person, too. He went around the restaurant and asked the clients about their satisfaction and also explained the ingredients of all dishes during the dinner time. At the end of the trip, he gave me and one more guest a rose made from cucumber. He was so nice! But seemed that we cannot meet each other one more time.
Lì Chéng
China"Very nice trip with Athena Cruise"
The cruise was so excellent with its comfort and great services. The crews and staff were so hospitable and nice. The cabin we stayed in was so clean. Especially, we loved the food of Vietnamese cuisine. Our cruise manager, Mr. Chien was so supportive and helpful. He was the nicest one. And, Mr. Tonic was so attentive to help us get other kinds of food instead of seafood that my mon could not eat. Really appreciated his caring. Thank you.
Centola
United States"The best experience in Vietnam trip"
We joined a one-night cruise to Bai Tu Long Bay and had the best experience on our trip to Vietnam. Athena cruise was the best cruise I had been on. The cruise facilities were so great. We got the cabin at the back of the cruise ship and it offered us panoramic views of the bay. So amazing! The scenery was so incredible that I felt like in the dream. The staff, the services onboard, and outdoor activities were good, too. Thanks all!
Caridwen
NewZealand"Floating hotel in Bai Tu Long"
We decided to join an overnight cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay. The whole concept of the cruise, from how it looked like to how its services were, seemed to be very professional and lovely. Everything was punctual as in the itinerary. There were about 20 cabins on the cruise. They were so large and featured comfortable beds. The food served was delicious and was the best one I had since I arrived in Vietnam. All services were very good. There were not many activities but very interesting. Overall, we had a nice cruise trip. Should try this cruise at least once.
Callula
Australia"Athena cruise"
The cruise trip with Athena cruise was the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. Bai Tu Long bay was so stunning and spectacular. The experience with Athena Cruise was so amazing with nice excursions. Athena cruise was actually at the first class in Bai Tu Long Bay. So luxurious! Definitely it was worth paying more money to join a top cruise like Athena Cruise.
Anzu
United Kingdom"Amazing cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay"
We must say that Athena Cruise had brought a great overnight trip to us. It ran the route to discover Bai Tu Long Bay which was much peaceful and less crowded than Halong Bay, but still impressive with its spectacular scenery. The cruise was so impressive with comfortable and spacious cabins. The cruise staff made our trip to become special by their hospitability and caring. They seemed not be able to do enough for us. Nothing was enough, but they were so great. The food, especially for dinner, was so amazing. We also did kayaking to visit the fishing village. It was our most interesting experience in our trip. There was no complaint to the cruise services and the cruise team. Absolutely luxury cruise!
Asked by Tina
How long does it takes from Hanoi to Halong Bay?
Answered by Halong Bay Cruise Team
It takes about 4 hour- driving from Hanoi to Halong Bay including about 30 minutes for a break on the halfway. From Hanoi to Halong Bay we will pass many towns which the speed is limited so it takes such a long time for about 180 kms. Our bus will pick you up from hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter about 08.00 - 08.30 AM and we arrive Tuan Chau Harbour about 12.00 - 12.30.
