My friends and I stayed 2 nights on Hermes Cruise. The program was filled with exciting activities such as visiting Surprise Cave, the island, kayaking, swimming, cooking class, Sunset party,...We were on the day boat on the second day. Although we could not access our lovely cabin on the main boat until late afternoon, the areas we visited were isolated and very peaceful. It was a nice experience!
There were 6 of us on a 2 day 1 night tour. The excursions were nice but kayaking could last for longer. More varied activities at night would be better. Our cabins were spacious with a nice bathroom. Food was good. Staff was friendly.
Check-in at the port was a bit chaotic and long waiting. However, the trip went smoothly after we embarked on the boat. Activities were well organized. Our cabin (senior) was modern, clean, and very well equipped. Food was delicious and of high quality. Crew was attentive and welcoming. Halong Bay is definitely worth your visit!
The boat was spacious and nice and we regretted that we did not book it for 2 nights. We were timely picked up by the bus and took 2.5 hours to the port. After embarking, a hearty lunch was served and the bay was breathtaking. We visited a cave that was fabulous, an island for swimming and hiking, and went kayaking. The kayaking was very quick (around 40 mins) and that was not enough. Every activity was a bit rushed and lacked downtime. Tommy and Lam are the best. Our Royal Suite was excellent yet it would be perfect if we had more time to make use of it without missing activities.
Food was superb. Mr. Lam was very entertaining and did a great job in making everyone enjoy the activities. Others were friendly and nice. We love the cruise and Halong Bay! Thanks a lot!
We were a family of 5 and we stayed for 1 night and 2 days. The vessel looks beautiful and the furniture was well maintained. We had connected cabins which both had a lovely balcony and jacuzzi tub. My husband was ill the next morning and the staff was very caring and helpful. Everyone was very polite and friendly and treated us so well. Although we could not join all the activities (which was a bit too much), we enjoyed the view of Halong Bay and had a great time onboard. Thanks a bunch!
Good service and good staff. We enjoyed our cabin, food, kayaking, and view. The trip to Titop Island was very nice. Thank you very much!
The boat is luxurious with modern facilities. We booked the Junior cabin which was clean and spacious. It was on the main deck yet also offered a stunning view from the balcony. Dinner was brilliant while lunch could be better. The staff was friendly and kind. The itinerary was a bit jam-packed so we did not have much time to try the jacuzzi or relax on the top deck. Other things were all okay.
Halong Bay is stunning and the service of Hermes Cruise was exceptional. Tommy and the whole team could not do enough for you. The guides were superb, very informative and helpful. Food was good and varied. Activities were great and kept us busy all the time. We had an awesome trip overall. Would definitely recommend this trip!
