Asked by Darin Smith | Jul. 01, 2023 10:10
My family is planning a trip in August. 3 adults, 1 child (1 year old). Is it better to keep a room booked in Hanoi for the night we will be in Halong Bay?

Greetings from Canada. Is this cruise operated by the same company who are running Orchid cruise? My friend advised me to choose Orchid cruise, however, I wish to experience a newly launched cruise for our honeymoon. Any advice?, should I choose this one or Orchid cruise? Could you also prepare anything special for us? Many thanks!!

Dear Ms. Amanda Fenn, Many thanks for your question. Yes, Azalea is operated by the same company as Orchid cruise and one of the most reputable liners in Halong Bay. Actually both Azalea and Orchid follow the same itinerary and share similar quality standard, only boat layout is different. Orchid cruise has fewer cabins and larger rooms, so if you do not mind the budget and prefer more privacy, you can take Orchid. Otherwise Azalea is also a great alternative as well (all of Azalea's cabins has balcony, bathtub and TV too). For your honeymoon, staff on board will set up your room to honeymoon theme, and prepare cake and candles for your celebration. If you wish to have private table set up please inform us in advance. Best regards

Hello, We are planning to book this cruise for our trip to Halong Bay on November 28th. Will the cruise be running then for sure? What type of cabin has balcony?

Dear Mr. Peter, Thank you very much for your question. Azalea Cruise will start service on November 1st 2017 so you can surely book your trip from now. All cabins on Azalea has private balcony so you can choose whichever type of cabin you prefer. Best regards,

The check-in was smooth but the check-out at the port was a bit chaotic. Food and activities were of great variety. The cruise manager was superb and all of the crew was courteous. Recommended!Cruise quality 10 Food/Drink 10 Cabin quality 10 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 9 -

Very good
Food was just average. We expected more options and better flavor. The cabin was nice. The staff was friendly and always willing to support us. Lan Ha Bay was majestic and should be on your bucket list.Cruise quality 8 Food/Drink 7 Cabin quality 9 Staff quality 9 Entertainment 8 -

The food was good. The staff tried their best to accommodate guests’ needs. We took a 1 night trip and it was a bit short. The vessel did not move too much. It normally just moved to the attractions for the excursions and then to the area for dropping the anchor the whole night. Anyway, it was a nice experience to try.Cruise quality 9 Food/Drink 10 Cabin quality 10 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 9 -

The bay was spectacular. Orchid Trendy was a bit aged yet the service was excellent. The guide was attentive and everyone onboard was friendly. The chef was talented with his yummy and eye-catching meals. We will definitely suggest this trip!Cruise quality 8 Food/Drink 9 Cabin quality 10 Staff quality 10 Entertainment 10
