2025 Cruiser's Choice Awards by reviewers

With only five cabins—a maximum of ten passengers and perhaps fifteen crew members—the ship's quality was outstanding. The colonial-style rooms were excellent.
Additionally, the meal was delicious and so abundant that I would nearly say there was too much of it.
Overall, drink costs are acceptable, especially during happy hours. However, the wine list is not an excellent value because the prices are too high for the type of wine available.
Local bamboo boats will approach you in the evening to offer you wine and beer at a discount, but you will have to haggle hard because they are aware of the boat rates and are attempting to match their low-quality wine prices. Less

We recently had a Halong Bay Overnight Cruise. The support from the travel consultant Camelia was huge. My appreciation is beyond words. Thank you very much to BestPrice Travel for their efforts.

Great organization thanks to the travel agent Havy/Camilla, the cruise ship was charming, the staff were all super friendly and helpful. Would do it again, we had a good time!

The boat is new, as you mentioned, the cabins are nicely decorated, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and everything is on a high level. Unfortunately, my friend got food poisoning (before the cruise) and stayed most of the time in the cabin, so she didn’t take full advantage of the cruise,… MoreThe boat is new, as you mentioned, the cabins are nicely decorated, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and everything is on a high level. Unfortunately, my friend got food poisoning (before the cruise) and stayed most of the time in the cabin, so she didn’t take full advantage of the cruise, but the crew took good care of her, and the cabin itself was a very comfortable and clean place to stay. We had amazing views right from the bed. I enjoyed the guided tours and food services as well. A big thank you for this upgrade! Less

Where do I even start? Anna from BestPrice Travel made everything so easy for our trip to Halong Bay. The transfer from Hanoi was a smooth pick up and drop off to the Calista Cruise. The ship inside is absolutely gorgeous, we'll decorated, and the rooms and accommodations are beyond.

We had a lovely day on the Halong Sonata Day Cruise. The boat was comfortable, the scenery was stunning, even in December, and the activities were well-paced. A great way to experience Ha Long Bay in just one day.

Our day with Indochine Lan Ha Bay Cruise was fantastic. Kayaking through Dark & Bright Cave felt peaceful and untouched, and the visit to Trung Trang Cave on Cat Ba Island was impressive and well organized. A smooth, relaxing cruise with beautiful scenery throughout.

I contacted BestPrice Travel to reserve a Halong Bay trip for 4 people. The booking process was incredibly simple and effective, and there was wonderful contact all along the way.

My Uyen contacted me via WhatsApp a few days prior to our journey to finalize our details (passports, etc.) and then gave us the pickup information, which was straight from our Hanoi hotel.
The boat was fantastic, and the transport was excellent with a luxurious Dcar. We were fortunate to be upgraded to the Premium Orchid Cruise, and My Uyen handled our booking changes and provided all the necessary information.
For anyone traveling to Vietnam, I would suggest BestPrice Travel. Less

From pick-up at our hotel until drop-off, every step was fantastic! We did this as a last-minute honeymoon activity, and I'm so glad we did. It has been the highlight of our honeymoon thus far. The cuisine, entertainment, and service (particularly from Jasper) were all five stars. We also had our photos… MoreFrom pick-up at our hotel until drop-off, every step was fantastic! We did this as a last-minute honeymoon activity, and I'm so glad we did. It has been the highlight of our honeymoon thus far. The cuisine, entertainment, and service (particularly from Jasper) were all five stars. We also had our photos shot with a professional camera and forwarded to us, with some printed for us to take home at no additional cost – a nice touch! We will refer to all of our friends. Less

El barco está muy bien. Era evidente que era viejo, pero todo estaba muy limpio.
La cabina Royal Suite Balconynos ha sido muy apreciada. La terraza privada y las vistas impresionantes son muy buenas.
El servicio es bueno y el personal es atento.
Lo único que podría ser mejorado son las excursiones.… MoreEl barco está muy bien. Era evidente que era viejo, pero todo estaba muy limpio.

Lo único que podría ser mejorado son las excursiones. El inglés se comprendía de manera regular y durante las visitas a miradores y cuevas solo se proporcionaba escasa información.
La atención inmediata y accesible de Hay/Camelia, por parte de Bestprice, es siempre insuperable. Siempre confirmó de antemano todos los pasos, fechas y horas, y resolvió todas nuestras dudas.
Sobre BestPrice, tenemos que decir que hicimos una reserva para un barco en el que tienes que pagar un porcentaje y luego nos confirman que no había espacio y hacen una oferta parecida pero más cara. En definitiva, aunque pagamos un poco más, creo que la relación calidad-precio nos beneficia.
El precio de Bestprice era un poco más bajo que el de otras empresas. Less
