Two-day one-night cruise

We had a terrific experience on the oriental sails. The accommodations, which overlooked the sea, were very clean and comfortable.

Very wonderful

My wife and I stayed for one night and two days. The cabin was spacious. Good-sized shower/toilet room. The food was fantastic. Excellent service as well. The travels were well-timed. Drinks were more pricey than what we were used to spending.

Fun but not very remarkable

The cruise does not follow the same schedule as the program. The second day, we returned to the boat around 3:30 p.m. with nothing else to do. We are the only boat without a kayak at the three beaches, so we cannot go there (it is too cold for swimming), and we only kayaked for less than an hour in the morning. So disappointed!

Majestic Trip to Halong Bay

The two-day, one-night Halong Bay cruise was incredible. I like all of the cuisine offered on board. The Chef on Oriental Sail is great in my opinion. The crew on board is kind. Although the ship is a little ancient, we found it rather pleasant. The two excursions included in the package tour are fantastic.… More

Hi, I'm very interested to book for my family of 5, we have 3 kids age 14, 11 and 9. Is there any room for 5 on 2nd Apr 2024? Any chance you are able to give us free private transfer one way from Hanoi to Halong Port? This would then mean the cruise is within our budget.

@Marina Roseph:

The room on Oriental Sail is quiet small so that if you will need 2 cabin. If you want a bigger room or connect room, you should change to Sena Cruise but the price would be more expensive. For private transfer, you can book for 16 seats van with the same price you book for bus transfer
