We are a group of 4 friends and we went on a 3-day trip. The views were spectacular and we got great pictures everywhere. The weather was nice too, so we really enjoyed all the visits, especially Ba Trai Dao Beach. The waters were clear and calming, while the sand was clean and warm. On board, there were a lot of things to do too. Spa services were okay but the cooking demonstrations were spectacular and the chef showed great skills. I would recommend Sapphire Cruise to all my friends!

We loved the facilities on board. The bar opened all the time and we could enjoy a great night with delicious drinks in a beautiful ambiance. The food was diverse and tasty too. Some suggestions: some parts of the boat needed updates and improvement, also the drink prices should be lowered.

I was impressed by the convenience and great decorations of the rooms. I found the ocean-view bathtub really relaxing and chill, the views were excellent as well. Even though I was afraid of seasickness at first, the boat went smoothly and the seas were very calm. Such a memorable trip! Thanks all!

My family had a beautiful vacation! Ba Trai Dao Beach was tranquil and Dark & Bright Cave was impressive. We also enjoyed kayaking, while cycling was a little bit hot in the summer. You can choose to go by an electric car as well instead of biking. Hospitable people and supportive services made our trip perfect!

I am allergic to seafood and the chef managed to tailor well my special meal requests, thank you so much! It was delicious and very balanced! I traveled on the weekend and there were a lot of people too, so if you want a more private vacation, I suggest going on weekdays. One thing was that the drinks were overpriced and cooking classes got crowded with lots of guests too. Overall, Sapphire Cruise was great and worth trying!

A great cruise! The scenery was gorgeous and the boat was absolutely enjoyable, clean, and cozy!  All activities, I must say, were well planned and the staff were really nice. Something to improve on: there was too much food and we felt quite overwhelmed; drinks were a little expensive and the staff would also check if you brought your own drinks.

We had a wonderful time on the Sapphire cruise. We did a 3d2n and it did not disappoint us at all. The food was outstanding with mixed cuisines for each meal. I loved the 2nd dinner, it was so delicious with fresh seafood. We got a chance to kayak and go for a swim, and we were amazed at the beautiful views here. My room also has a private balcony for real relaxing moments.

The cruise trip was absolutely perfect, and the 2-night stay was a great decision! The crew were very helpful and tried to make us feel the most comfortable! Fish massage was very special and we also really enjoyed the highlight visit to Cat Ba Island. Cycling and interacting with the locals were the best! We chose to pay extra for the big room and it was totally worth it, the sea-view bathroom was unique and very relaxing!
