Australia"A great trip for anyone"
Halong Bay is a great destination for everyone to take the natural beauty in Vietnam, it was beautiful and stunning. Besides, the cruise was good and the staff was nice, I had many memorable experiences here, many thanks!

United States"Such an amazing trip!"
Such an amazing 2 days 1 night trip with this cruise, the service was good and the crew team was really nice to us. I love the Tai Chi class, a good way to start my day and it was really fun. I wii recommend this tour for my friends.

"Thanks for a great tour. We appreciate the devote of attentive staff"
The entire crew, food, and activities were excellent.
Just double-check the transportation from the hotel to the cruise.
Mr Sharna
Portugal"2 couples on Peony for 2 nights and 3 days, we loved the comfort and quality of the boat."
Even though it was winter, we did kayaking in a quiet area and some brave people swam! 2nd day it rained so we took an electric car around a village on Cat Ba island and we tasted snake wine (not for the weak hearts)! Yong was an exceptional guide, full of information and smiley. The quality of the food (especially the meat) could be improved and beware of the price of drinks which are not included in the ticket and are quite expensive. The cooking classes were great and very enjoyable.

United States"Great Cruise! (Group of nine with three small children)"
Peony gave us excellent service, a quite big family of nine. Hieu (Food Supervisor) provided us with great attention and care! The staff was kind and polite, and the meal for our children was delicious. We have three children and, given the size of the cabins, we certainly needed two rooms, and we're delighted we booked that way.
If you have small kids, ordering food for the, upon arrival in the dining room, one tiny tip that might really improve the experience.

Germany"Relaxing journey in Halong Bay. The experience was quite pleasant"
Where to start? Overall the cruise went well. We were picked up a lil bit late but it's due to the crazy traffic of Hanoi so nothing anyone could do. The crew welcomed us really well, attentive and professional. My daughter loved desserts so thanks to the chef team. I myself enjoy the itinerary but didn't see much special about the cruise. We will contact if we come back to Vietnam, hope we can experience more outstanding cruise :)

Spain"Not the best cruise we have ever been on but the experience was memorable."
We stayed in the executive suite for 3 days and 2nights. We were intending to stay in the basic one but opted to upgrade at the last minute. We were very happy we did. The cabin appeared to be double the size of the others.
On the trip, the food was always sufficient. Mr Bobby, the cruise's food and beverage manager, recalled my name and room number within the first five minutes of my arrival. Bobby was always attentive, polite, and eager to assist. He was incredibly accommodating to my picky-no-seafood diet and provided a wealth of useful information.
The schedule for the second day spent a lot of time off the boat, which was enjoyable, but I would have wanted to spend more time on the boat. Happy hour was fantastic and lasted longer than one hour each day! We tried various drinks and were all impressed.

Australia"A pleasant trip when we're in Vietnam. The drinks shouldn't be missed!"
The boat is beautiful, we had a really good time staying in our cabin and seeing Halong Bay through the huge window. The itinerary was quite suitable, no time to get bored and the drinks were yum (rcm Pina Coladas). However, I must say that the food was rather bland to me and my bf, and it felt like it didn't let the chef shine.
Luke
United States"a luxury cruising experience with Peony Cruise. We wanna thank Sam and Kien"
If you're thinking about booking Peony Cruise, go ahead! Worth the money, the cabins were beautiful and clean, the overall look of the cruise was luxurious compared to the price. The personnel (particularly Sam and Ken) were responsive and funny, the cuisine was delicious and varied, and the happy hour every night was really fun! We took 3d2n trip which included fantastic day excursions to visit Halong Bay. I will totally suggest Peony Cruises to my family and friends since it was an incredible experience that I will never forget. Thank you to everyone on the Peony Cruise for making us feel welcome.

India"Nice cruising experince in Halong Bay. Xin cam on cac ban"
Overall the cruise was great, just like what Gam introduced to us about the amenities, itinerary, and activities,... but the wifi was really unstable. I had work to do but cannot access my Ipad, a staff said to us that the connection might have been influenced by the bad weather, but I really want the cruise to improve this.
Except that, thanks everyone for a nice experience.
Ran
Indonesia"cannot recommend this cruise enough. the second day is my favorite"
The size was not too big, not too small, so you could maintain your privacy while yet enjoying pleasant smiles and chats from other passengers during social moments like as dinner, excursions, or happy hours.
Every part of the itinerary was well planned, we enjoyed visiting the gorgeous sites of Halong Bay. The second day was my favorite.
The staff was very kind, professional. Especially the tour manager, really funny and helpful.
Food, omg I cannot talk enough about the food. A balance between western and traditional Vietnamese tastes. I was never feeling hungry on the cruise.
So, I recommend 3d2n option because there a lot to see and the onboard exp is worth enjoying too.
Sheila
Canada"Fine boat but the tourist traffic was too much"
We booked a deluxe cabin with balcony, the interior was cozy and luxurious, nothing to complain about our stay. The staff was really attentive, they helped us as best as they can.
There are a lot of dished adapted to Western tastes which is sad, wish I could enjoy more specialties of Vietnam.
The scenery is superb but there is so much notice and mass tourists... rcm visit this bay in low season if you can.
Evan
United States"The cruise was great. I was happy with the beautiful room and the nice services"
waited for 40p for the bus to come to pick us, the traffic was crazy.
Clean room and comfortable bed.
Air conditioner and heater work well
The crew is attentive and helpful, especially thanks to Nguyen (the young man in charge of drinks at the bar)
The pickup is comfortable and clean.
Adrian
Singapore"2d1n trip with Peony Cruise - an experience to remember"
I have some comments for the cruises:
- The van that brought us up in Hanoi was quite nice and comfortable.
- The staff was professional
- The rooms are just magnificent and well-designed (especially the balcony)
- a clear agenda with several alternatives
- bartenders good
However, for those with back n high blood pressure, not advisable to go and visit the cave( which the staff did kindly remind guests)
Leonard
United States"Staff good but boat need maintance"
Hi I just want to notice the next guests that there are some broken steps onboard (unless the cruise managed to fix it)
Positive: The staff was fantastic, the cuisine was delicious, the cocktails were well-made, and the accommodations were comfortable.

"nice experience that you should try whenc ooming to halong"
Halong bay is absolutely gorgeous, but when we look up close, the entire bay is considerably more dirty than we imagined; expect to encounter a lot of waste when sailing and swimming; I can't help but assume that the cruises are part of this problem.
On the plus side, the cruise's activities are enjoyable (especially the excursion to Cat Ba Island), the cabins are comfortable, and the crew onboard is kind, food is good.
Mia
Thailand"Super lovely trip wth Peony Cruise. My best experience in north vietnam"
I and my husband had a fantastic trip with Peony.
They provide top-notch services, and I recall two staff members named Ken and Lee who are pretty helpful and kind.
Enjoyed the clean and modern style of the in-room cabin as well.
Indah
Indonesia"First time on a cruise and it was great! The staff were so nice making the trip easier"
We had never been on a cruise before, and we were quite pleased!
The room was really pleasant, like a floating hotel.
The team was extremely attentive and helpful; they are on time
Tuan deserves special recognition for his professionalism. He helped us a lot
The cuisine was delicious... Though I must say that the beverages were quite expensive and the itinerary was jam-packed. I enjoyed it but you could pass some activities if you preferred to rest on the boat.
And the scenery of Halong... It's a must-see if you're in Vietnam.
Thank you, Peony Cruise, for this unforgettable trip!

India"Wonderful cruise. Every room with balcony. I really love the happy hour"
Wonderful cruise. The room was lovely. The service and meal were both excellent. The staff was nice. The activities were enjoyable (or you could stay on the boat and enjoy the onboard services).
Beer costs were reasonable, and we were never hassled as we had been on other cruises. At Happy hour you can get two for 1 cost drink. On the boat, there was free drinking water.
Highly recommend the tour
Jacinta V
"Best cruise in the price range we could find. The transfer time was fast"
Breathtaking views, five-star service, and heaven of delicious cuisine! Every part of the cruise was well planned, and everything worked perfectly.
Employees were really attentive, particularly Mr Bobby, whose service was outstanding!
The rooms were beautiful and very clean, and the activities were all fantastic.
Love it all :)
