We travelled with our young teenage children on the 2 night cruise. We had a jacuzzi suite and the kids had a superior room down the passage. The itinerary was wonderful and Halong Bay is stunningly beautiful. We were in Vietnam for nearly 3 weeks and this was definitely my highlight. Just when you think it's impossible to want to... More

We can’t speak highly enough about this experience. The Jasmine was a wonderful boat to be on for 2 nights during our HaLong Bay excursion. We highly recommend staying at least 2 nights in HaLong Bay so that you can really enjoy it. It takes a bit to get to Halong Bay from Hanoi (nearly 4 hours), so make it... More

We booked the 2 night stay on the Jasmine - it turned out to be a great experience and great value, and I would recommend it over the 1 night stay. Our room was compact, but it was really nicely furnished and the bed was really comfy. The bathroom was spacious with a really good shower. The balcony was great... More

My wife and I did a 2 night Jasmine cruise in October 2011. The cruise was fantastic in every way from start to finish. We booked several months in advance via the cruisehalong.com website. This is then handled by a travel office in Hanoi and everything was well organised. The travel office arranged for a private transfer from Hanoi and... More

The Jasmine is a great way to see Halong Bay – not the cheapest way to do it, but definitely worth the price. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful; the rooms are large, clean and comfortable. I would recommend opting for the deluxe room with a balcony – it’s great to sit out and watch the bay roll... More

Don't bother with the one night option, go for the two night one as you will see much more. The Jasmine Boat is lovely, we opted for the slightly better cabin with the balcony, but to be honest there are so many public areas to see the views from it didn't matter too much. Cabins are quite small as expected... More

Comforts of a top hotel on water. Highlight was the amazing fresh tasty food and views. Service outstanding and you felt safe as you noticed there was safety equipment everywhere not sure if smaller cheaper operators have that. More

We spent ages trying to get quotes from 10 different travel agents, websites etc. for this boat. In the end we booked with Luxury Halong Cruises who gave us our Vietnam Visa Letter for free (elsewhere on the internet they cost $25 each). The boat is beautiful and we were a bit wary of the activities, but they were very... More

Awesome. Ha Long Bay is absolutely stunning, and to see it on the Jasmine junk was just perfect. We were running late due to an accident on the roads to Ha Long and the crew were very accomodating and waited for us (we were 30 minutes late in the end). The boat and cabins were beautiful and had everything we... More
