The pros: Excellent meals during lunch and dinner (very basic breakfast). Nice variety of meat/seafood/vegetarian options. Friendly staff. Comfortable rooms with the basic amenities. Great showers! Dining space is cozy and inviting. Kayaking excursion is really fun and also relaxing. Cooking class is fun the first time around but not for those staying 2 nights. Staff is very punctual with all activities/meal times. The cons: Drinks not included (as in most cruises). Limited daytime activities leaves you fiddling your thumbs during the rest of the time. This is especially true during the winter when the only common area outside of your bedroom to enjoy views is the dining room. They offered us night fishing knowing full well that squid season was over. Should offer those staying 2 nights with different acuities so that the trip does not become too repetitive. Not the best in the winter as you are constrained to warm areas which means only dining room. Guides provide very limited. basic information on Halong Bay itself. Limited to no wifi connectivity.

Oriental Sails/Calypso Cruises of Halong Bay do just what they say on the box... a good mid range company, clean boat, pleasant crew, comfortable cabins etc. The 2 night option is, in my opinion, best avoided if it’s winter ( we went in early Feb) or the weather is too cool. Once out on the bay, apart from admiring the spectacular scenery, kayaking and swimming are really the only key things to want to do (there is the odd floating village/pearl farm and a very tourist crowded cave but it’s not that interesting) .... on our full day ( 2 night option) we were transferred to a smaller boat for a 6 hour trip further out to a spectacular area while the main boat returns to port to pick up/ drop off other passengers. As it was so chilly and grey, swimming and kayaking wasn’t really appealing from the day boat so a good book and look at view is all you can do....( we couldn’t really sit outside much either as it was so cool) .... the day boat is also quite basic and not that comfortable for hours of sitting reading and taking in the view. On return to the main boat, it’s simply a repeat of the previous night ... good food, quick cooking class, nice cocktails and a bit of Karaoke ( finished at 10pm) ... overall I would recommend this company but two tips for them are .....1) serve some juice at breakfast aswell ... all you get is coffee/tea ....2) don’t serve a full lunch that is pretty much the same as the previous dinners and lunches at 10.30am in the morning on the way back to port...this came just two hours after breakfast???
