Boutique style cruise with a high number of very attentive staff who all looked after us so well. And the chef, absolutely sensational in serving us delicious meals and delicately cooked seafood. The excursion team took us kayaking in the early morning when there were no other cruises around, we had a magical time exploring the bay to ourselves. A delightful, memorable trip that we highly recommend. Thank you Velar team!

Beautiful boat, such an amazing experience. Fantastic rooms, well organised activities and the staff (especially Vinny, Andy and Leon) made this an 11/10 trip!! Thank you all so much

Everything! The staff were wonderful, special thanks to Hailey and Vinny the managers and Julie up in the restaurant. We travelled with two young children and everyone was genuinely kind and taking my baby for cuddles. What a wonderful cruise! Definitely stay 2 nights, the day trip on second day boat was adventure packed and Y was an energetic host! 10/10 stars, so happy we picked this cruise to go on. Clean rooms, comfortable bed and so much delicious food. Everything was cooked beautifully and the chefs presentations of the food were spectacular! You are taken via a smaller boat to the main cruise ship which takes 40 mins from main harbour. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, always eager to please. Honestly, we did not want to leave the ship. Hope to sail again with you all one day. Cảm ơn. The bus ride from Hanoi was simple with pick up from hotel and one stop at a tourist location for bathroom/snacks/souvenirs. Lee was fantastic on the bus ride, he was knowledgeable and explained how to care for the beautiful Ha Long bay as tourists on the way which was appreciated.

Excellent

Not enough time on the Velar....most of the time we were on a smaller tender boat.
