Great boat excelent service, great food, every thing was perfect. Peter was our service man and he gave us an extraordinary treatment, an example of professionalism and deep understanding of his work. Highly reccomended.
Initially booked the classic cruise but was upgraded to luxury for free by Amber and it was awesome. Activities were paced very nicely. Food was tasty and service was superb. Room 202 is huge and great except for the round bed which was slightly uncomfortable with certain areas too hard to sleep on. Emmanuel was great to share his knowledge with us and made us feel at ease. Tim was very polite and nice to have them put in the effort to remember the our names. Great crew and an excellent time on board.
Really smooth journey, good communication with the team, all staffs were friendly and professional. The view of Ha long and Lan Ha Bay were stunning. Great activities to explore the boat and region. Would recommend if you are looking for a chill, private and relaxing experience!
Our experience on Orchid Cruise was deeply memorable. From the moment we boarded, all the staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming. As a vegetarian family, we were highly impressed by how well they looked after our dietary needs, serving us delicious and thoughtfully prepared meals throughout the journey.
Everything on the trip was amazing! The rooms are gorgeous, the activities were really fun, the whole staff was incredibly kind (especially Ben and Emmonuel) and the overall experience was perfect. Wish we stayed longer!
Awesome cruise exceptional staff, especially Jack, Smiley, and Whisky. Jack makes a mean cappucino
The service & activites were exceptional — Ben was a delight, and so friendly! Would highly recommend!
Excellent service from beginning to end
Peter was an amazing host who went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs and ensure our comfort. Emanuel was equally genuine and welcoming, and we truly enjoyed our time on board. Kudos to the entire team for their outstanding hospitality and excellent service. It was a wonderful experience, and we will certainly be coming back. Highly recommended!
A fabulous two days on board! We were very well looked after and a big shout out to the friendly and most helpful Eric! We loved it.
What an incredible experience! This was our first cruise and we were both a bit apprehensive! We needn’t have worried… it couldn’t have been more perfect and some incredible and special memories were made! The team (especially Dong, Tim and Eric!) were so kind and helpful and constantly went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Thank you!
Beautiful cruise and experience. Our cabin was splendid, clean and so big. The boat was also brand new. The food was great too as well as the cocktails. Our guide Dong was funny and explained everything really well. The server Eric was also extremely attentive and helpful. Would recommend this cruise without a doubt!
The whole experience was top class. Dong and Tim the perfect hosts! Will definitely anyway be back with family or friends.

Colada and the team were fantastic!
Fantastic experience, we spent 3 days 2 nights on board. Food and staff are amazing. We stayed in room 201 biggest on board worth the few extra pounds. Chris was our server for the trip and always went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed, a really pleasant guy.
An Unforgettable Experience in Ha Long Bay! We absolutely loved our two-night cruise aboard the Orchid Luxury! From start to finish, everything was wonderful. The entire crew was incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip. A special mention goes to the cruise manager, who was always so friendly, attentive and helpful, and to Tim, our lovely waiter, who was incredibly kind and made every meal even more enjoyable! The boat is beautiful and spotlessly clean, and our cabin was spacious and comfortable, with a lovely private balcony. The food was consistently delicious – fresh, healthy and authentic Vietnamese cuisine, which we really enjoyed. And of course, the breathtaking scenery of Ha Long Bay made the experience even more magical. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was truly unforgettable, and we are so happy we chose Orchid Luxury for this special trip. Highly recommended!
Had the most amazing cruise. So many options to choose from but delighted with Orchid. The boat is amazing, lovely classic boat, loads of space and the food and staff are brilliant. Big thank you to Jack who was fantastic. We had the best of times and highly recommend.
Very good experience, very nice way to enjoy Ha Long Bay. Staff excellent, got on great with Eric.
A wonderful experience cruising on the Orchid Luxury around Lan Ha Bay. The trip was excellent from start to finish. Emanuel and his team were incredible. The meals were delicious and beautifully presented. The service was first class - a special mention for our waiter, Peter, who was excellent. Also to Xian who led a beautiful sunrise Tai Chi session. The ship, newly refurbished, is very comfortable and has everything you need and more! We would totally recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see the stunning landscapes of Lan Ha and Halong Bay.
A fantastic experience visiting Ha Long bay. Thanks especially to Eric who was so attentive during our stay.
Absolutely wonderful experience! It was such a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The views were breathtaking, but what truly made the experience exceptional was the staff. Jenny, Emmanuel, and Eric were phenomenal—so welcoming, attentive, and wonderful throughout. They really made the experience memorable. Highly recommend!

Excellent expérience aboard the Orchid Cruise ship, with lovely members of staff, especially Steve. Highly recommend!
Our experience aboard the Orchid Classic Cruise was absolutely wonderful! Everything exceeded our expectations, from the beautiful, spacious, and immaculate cabins to the exceptional food. Every meal was delicious, beautifully presented, and prepared with great attention to detail. The entire staff was incredibly professional, attentive, and welcoming. However, we would especially like to recognize Chris, whose outstanding service and genuine kindness made our experience truly unforgettable. Chris is an exceptional person, not only because of his professionalism but also because of his warmth, empathy, generosity, and wonderful human qualities. He made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay. His dedication and personal attention went far beyond what we could have expected. A truly five-star experience in every way! We wholeheartedly recommend Orchid Classic Cruise. Thank you, Chris, and the entire crew for such beautiful memories!

We had an incredible trip with in Vietnam, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was our server, Hardy. From start to finish, Hardy provided world-class service. He was remarkably attentive to every detail during meal times, ensuring all our needs were taken care of effortlessly. What impressed us most was his dedication he even accompanied us off the boat during our shore tours, making sure we were well looked after every step of the way. Hardy went above and beyond to make our cruise seamless and special. If you are booking with Orchid Cruises, hope that you get Hardy on your team!
We had a wonderful overnight cruise on this beautiful boat. Greeting by the cruise manage Emmanuel at the wharf was thoughtful and detail oriented. As a vegetarian Ben in the dining room was esp helpful really taking time to make sure we had what we needed. Food was delicious and plentiful.. Our visit to the caves and the fishing village were awesome. We started our day w a great Tai Chi class and then had the opportunity to kayak and swim before heading back. In the evening they had a good demo before dinner/ supper and then after also had a flute player to entertain us .. An excellent experience !!!!
