Athena Cruise

I traveled alone with this cruise on a 2-day tour and I really loved the experience! The staff were so attentive and caring, they helped arrange for me to sit with other solo travelers when having meals. And I had such a good time and did not feel awkward at all. The drink was a little bit expensive though. Halong Bay was stunning and squid fishing was so much fun.

The ship was beautiful and modern. I loved its cleanliness and elegant look. Meals were delicious and catered well to vegetarians like me. We were a little disappointed that we could not order any food outside of the meal times. We did enjoy the views, hospitality, and activities though! 

Our family stayed in the family triple suite and we felt so pleased thanks to this large and convenient cabin. However, its view was quite limited as it was located on the 1st deck. We had some troubles with the A/C in our room at first but then the staff really did their best to make us feel comfortable again. Thanks a lot! The views were perfect and activities were fun, especially the boat rowing and caving.

Without a doubt, the staff were so helpful and professional with services as well as the food was delicious. We also got a great room, very clean and elegant. However, I must state some following drawbacks: it was a little noisy sometimes when I stayed in my room, and the drinks were delicious but quite overpriced. We suggest more soundproof systems for the cabins and lower the drink prices please. Overally, I highly recommend this cruise to anyone!

We were so happy to choose Athena Luxury and it was even more beautiful and memorable to us when we celebrated my birthday on the cruise. The hospitality, food and drinks, cleanliness and comfort were absolutely 5 on 5. We also loved all the activities, they were fascinating but very balanced at the same time. The highlight of the trip was my birthday party on board. The crew prepared a very beautiful cake to surprise us, which was so lovely and thoughtful of them. Thank you all and we really appreciate all the services and love we got during the stay on Athena Luxury boat.

Thanks Athena Luxury for this memorable trip. The manager was so kind and thoughtful and so were all the staff. The suite we stayed in was large and pleasant. It was on the ground floor but still offered magnificent views. However, the lunch buffet had limited options and I suggest the cruise add more flavors and dishes. The dinner, happy hour, brunch, etc. were amazing though!

A great cruising experience! Would recommend everyone to visit Halong Bay for once as its beauty was really charming. Some of the service staff did not understand English and at dinner, the serving was quite slow due to a large number of guests. However, still an enjoyable trip thanks to excellent experiences of kayaking, spa treatments, film entertainment, and so on.

The ship was well maintained and I must compliment their modern facilities and attentive services! The bays were magnificent, especially at sunset. Unfortunately, we could not see the sunrise clearly because of the fog. Mr. Tim was really knowledgeable and helped us a lot during the cruise and so were all other lovely staff. The 2-day schedule was quite busy but we still wanted to stay longer on the boat for more adventures. Thanks for this wonderful and memorable experience!
