A Beautiful Experience

Tuan, the cruise director, was organized and attentive to every detail for each passenger. He made sure we were having a good time, he told us the schedule individually, and answered any questions in a kind and patient way. He was pleasant and smiled a lot. We felt like we were very important to him and the crew.

We sailed through the islands in the bay, went to a huge cave, walked up 435 steps to get to a gorgeous viewpoint the next morning, and enjoyed a short time at the beautiful beach there. The locals did not pressure us to buy anything, which we appreciated.

I am 73 years old and enjoyed everything we did. My husband stayed on the lovely ship and was so happy to have a serene place to read and enjoy the view.

The ship was a vintage style with dark wood furnishings and floors. There were antique artifacts here and there. It had a lot of class and style. The food was very good and the service was impeccable. The room was clean, and we had a suite which was amazing! We slept well and enjoyed our stay very much! I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone!

Perfect Family Cruise in Ha Long Bay

Wonderful experience with Indochina Sails in Ha Long Bay! We traveled with our three-year-old and felt so well taken care of - Happy Little Buddha was incredibly kind and helpful, even offering special extras for our baby. The food was amazing, especially the fine dining. We would definitely come back!

Indochina cruise

Great cruise over 3 days, 2 nights.
This boat remains one of the most authentic and the quality of service is impeccable.
The common areas, the room are areas of pleasant living.
The chef was able to delight us, little French touch on some dishes.
Star in addition to Mrs. Mee, a sweet, smiling, caring and very professional waitress.

Making memories at Halong Bay

From start to finish, this was a fantastic experience. Our host, (happy little Buddha HLB) ensured we were comfortable, entertained, well fed and happy. This boat is an authentic gem. Not the sparkling common ones populating the area. Unique and majestic.
The staff was friendly and happy which made it feel like home.
The excursions -the cave tour and the hike to the top of hon Ti Top island were both lovely, but extremely crowded. Fortunately, Happy Little Buddha got us to the front of the line and early, making it more enjoyable.
The boat offered tai chi at sunrise and that made for a wonderful memory.
The food is exceptional.
The room is fabulous.
You will not be disappointed in this cruise.

Let us arrange a personalized experience for you.
