My mom loved it!”
We got such a stellar deal from agoda and Aphrodite didn’t disappoint at all! There’s a reason why their rating is truly the best! We loved the attention to detail everyone in the crew had (just a minor mashup with my food but was cleared right away). The food was EXCELLENT! And we loved that they do the room cleanup every meal time it seemed like magic to return to fixed room every single time! Tip tho— to save on $$ get a shuttle ride from old quarter versus booking the limo service (tho that was such a treat! Loved it!). If you take the shuttle bus it’s 50% less but make sure you get details on pick up for return to Old Quarter. Don’t even hesitate getting this cruise when in Hanoi— it’s a must and Aphrodite is the best provider there is. Just the right size for a boat and right number of guests to have personalized service. Ask about the activities tho especially if you have challenges walking and going up— the Tiptop (?) trip wasn’t well received by our co-travelers. I sat that one out since I was sleepy. The cave trip and the lagoon one were very very nice tho! Must try! Happy cruising!

Everything exceeded expectations”
The price made me skeptical, but this cruise is a 5 star experience that is worth every cent. Having come from half-ass hotels in Hanoi and Sapa, I wasn’t expecting much, but the staff, food and excursions were just amazing. Do the two night cruise - on the second day they take you to secluded areas of the bay. It was literally just my partner and I kayaking at the fishing village, right before we dined on the day boat, opening with oysters and seafood as entree . Lunch and dinner are 5 course meals. I’m a pescatarian and instead of the gross vegan/gluten free/dairy free meals I’m normally served, they gave me fresh seafood and the like. What made me feel really special was they made a special effort to make sure I never ate the same dish twice. Staff speak great English and are extremely kind, enthusiastic and helpful. They remembered my partner and I by name. And a plus for Vietnam - the room/bathroom was immaculate and has all Western comforts like soap. Thank you Aphrodite!

Fantastic cruise”
Aphrodite cruise was one of the few that have a triple room so we booked with them. Responsive to questions when asked. Arrival at their cruise terminal was very good. Brand new private terminal with waiting room. Their boat was beautiful one of the biggest boat in the bay. Room was big and clean. Bathtub was curvy for jacuzzi so very difficult to shower in it. Food was really good. Kudos to the Chef, the dinner was individually cooked. Our steak was delicious. All the meals were fantastic. The trips off the boat were fun and we were well taken care of. The staff were great. Very friendly and helpful. Jackie our manager was so good. Really caring. Highly recommended. Upon return, they informed our transport which we booked ourselves had arrived. Everything was so professional and yet so friendly. Thank you Aphrodite.

Exceptional”
Took up the 2d1n on Aphrodite Cruises. The cruise/tour/view was an amazing experience and was further enhanced as we happen to have clear blue skies and a fog-less night! The itinerary was jammed packed and kept us on our feet most of the time. The only thing was the short trip on the 2nd day whereby we were only allotted 1 hour to do both hill climb and beach (this time was further shortened because the island opened late so we had less time on the beach). On the cruise, the room was spacious, clean and had a nice ambient to it (our first cruise), only con with the room was that the bathtub didn't really work as expected, it felt like it was placed there for the sake of it but didn't really work as expected. The food was delicious, nice and well presented. The staff was very helpful, charismatic and informative. Overall a very well structured cruise that's safe and pleasant to be on. Highly recommended.

Perfect choice”
I have been on Halong Bay Cruises before with mixed success but the Aphrodite was my very best choice. Attractive boat, very clean and comfortable, efficient and friendly staff and fabulous food. There were three of us traveling, the weather was rainy and misty but we had a great time. The misty conditions made it more atmospheric and the boat and its crew more than made up for it. Phillip deserves a particular mention as he looked after us extremely well, with charm and humor. Excellent experience and I would unconditionally recommend it.

Execellent service, highly recommended”
We are very happy and satisfied with our cruise. The room was fantastic, beds are very comfortable. I love the free champagne. The highlight of this cruise is the service. Superb staff! Very friendly and accommodating. Special mention for Jennifer and Jackie for always assisting us. But all the staff are really super nice. Even the sales team were super helpful with changing our tour dates. Food was delicious. Everything about the cruise is superb.

I would definitely recommend Aphrodite Cruises. The staff is so sweet and helpful. The rooms are clean, and the beds are wonderful. The food is absolutely fantastic. They serve a five course meal for both lunch and dinner. They even served every course at our room, on the balcony. Would recommend 3D2N. The second day you get to go to the less crowded areas in Halong Bay; kayaking in the fishing village and go to a private beach - where there's noe one else. Absolutely worth every penny.

Simply amazing. What a special time ”
I cannot fault Aphrodite cruise. They were simply amazing. The rooms were beautifully presented and clean, the meals were exceptional but what really made it was the staff.. Jackie and Tom especially were so accommodating and entertaining! We were celebrating a 50th birthday and Jackie went above and beyond to make it special. We can’t thank them enough!

Best Cruise on Halong Bay ”
If you are considering this cruise absolutely do not pass it up. The entire experience was once in a lifetime. The boat itself is gorgeous. The rooms are the most spacious available on any cruise in the bay. Definitely do the 2 night 3 day or you will not get the appropriate experience. The staff was so fun and helpful. On the last night we ended up ripping thru some beers/coconut wine and having a huge karaoke blow out party. The food was amazing on a worldly level. This will be an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thanks to everyone in the entire organization that helped make this possible.

Everything Tip-Top!”
Staff is extremely hospitable, food is amazing, room is very clean and well furnished, the open deck is also very inviting. Love how the cruise gave me & my boyfriend very much needed privacy and not over crowded. I did not regret choosing Aphrodite Cruise (actually, i was placed in Hera Cruise I guess they are sister-company or so). Was contemplating if I should splurge on this cruise, but, needless to say, it was all worth-it!

Awesome 2 night 3 day experience!”
The whole trip is wonderful with the most breathtaking sights! We did the 3 day 2 night tour and I highly recommend it. The people who did only 1 night seemed rushed and I feel like they didn't get to enjoy all halong bay had to offer. With the 2 nights we got to see more of the bay and had time to relax, get to know other people and truly take in the whole experience! Awesome staff and amazing food. Overall, a truly wonderful experience highly recommend. Definitely worth the money!

I was put up in room no 203. There small balcony with the room was very charming. Food was good and everything was quite perfect. Very helpful staff and but language could be a problem at times. If I come to Ha Long again I will stay in the Aphrodie. Suggestion - have a small shelf in the shower cubicle . It would help in keeping the shampoo and body wash bottles. Wishing the all the members of company all the very best and they should carry on their good work.

Our family of 4 with two young children had a great time on board the Aphrodite. ”
The service was exceptional. The manager on board, Philip or Fou and his team provided excellent service. They were humble, friendly and genuinely nice. The family room we had was spacious and even came with a jacuzzi bathtub. What a pleasant surprise! The food was also excellent. It was an enjoyable experience for my whole family.

We stayed in the luxury/deluxe room with a balcony and we loved it! So worth it. Room was super clean, comfortable and we had great views the whole trip! The activities were fun, if anything our only regret is not staying an extra night! :)

Amazing staff!”
Great itinerary. Do yourself a favour and book 3D/2N tour. First day is very touristy with loads of other boats and people (still great) and second day was extremely private. we only saw 1 other boat at the day 2 fishing village and were alone at a private cave/beach. Food on board was absolutely amazing and the itinerary is well planned. Great staff, nice rooms, beautiful scenery.

Wonderful, relaxing experience”
We got updated to Hera cruise. The rooms were comfortable, with a spacious toilet and nice little balcony. Food on board the cruise was great. Staff were very friendly too. 2D1N was just nice. Highly recommended.

Exceeded our expectations ”
From the moment we arrived, the staff couldn't be more helpful. We went on the Hera Cruise and the boat and staff were wonderful. The meals plentiful and delicious but the main attraction was Halong Bay. Such a luxurious way to see it. Would definitely book with them again. Tracey went above and beyond to help us and answered all our queries with the booking promptly.

Great experience! I would book again. ”
We didn’t actually go on Aphrodite. We were bumped to Hera Cruise (sane companY?), which we were told was a better option (who knows). We went on the 2-day and 1-night cruise which was perfect timing for us! We loved Ha long Bay and while the crowds are there we expected it. We loved the cruise, which included activities and water (in room!). Beer was about 60 dong, water 40 dong and wine/cocktails more euro/American prices. I thought the food was incredible and well worth it. What I didn’t like was the steep differences in prices that people paid. We booked ahead and then families/ couples who booked last minute through their hotels paid far less and had a transfer included. We found someone who paid $150 with transfer from Hanoi then got bumped to our cruise and we paid $320 plus $110 transfer. It’s definable still worth it with the prize we paid but so disappointing when we are basically paying for other people’s fun, hmmm.
