WOW, what a wonderfull time we doesn’t in Ha Long Bay and with Capella Cruises. Staff were fantastic and the food outstanding.
We swam in the bay, paddle boarded , spring roll cooking demos and spring roll making competitions, so much to do and the scenery is something again.
Be careful as we noted a lot of cruise boats out there and some looked like they should have retired years ago. Capella Cruises yiur guaranteed a great boat and Greta good and service

Fun and delicious luxury
Highlight of our trip to Vietnam. Nature, peace and quiet considering large number of cruisers.
The staff is outstanding as is the food. Wonderful large rooms with comfiest beds and sizeable bathroom.
Happy hour 3 drinks for the price of 2 but you can get what you want. Opted for cocktails with friends👌🏻 Dinner was deliciousness after deliciousness, can’t even describe.
They do cater to people with allergies. Swimming pool is not the largest but lots of fun as was the slide , you have to listen to crew as jelly fish sometimes present not the poisoning kind, but still. No issues on our cruise. Do it it’s fun

Mesmerising . Pure bliss ✨
One of the best small cruise experiences I’ve had . It’s an all included cruise for 2 days that stands at emereld green waters of lan ha bay . The suites were brilliant & maintained. Food was just amazing. They took care of all our dietary needs & had a solution to all our wants . There’s a lot of activities to indulge in or you can just sit and chill at your private balcony . The part on the cruise was its slide . A must try & available only on a few cruises . 10/10 experience.

A must do day out, a cruise of luxury
Wow...the whole adventure was amazing.
The food was some of the best I've ever eaten, the staff were amazing, cruise manager Gin was really good and a huge shout-out to flora the server she was amazing, as my wife is gluten free.
The sites visited were phenomenal
The only bad thing was, it was too short

5 stars for this 5 star Capella Cruise!
My husband, 13 year old son and I spent 2 nights aboard Capella's luxury cruise. The Indochina decor was truly beautiful, and we loved the spacious family suite that gave our teen some privacy, yet kept us connected as a family unit. We spent both afternoons lying on the bed just watching the beautiful Ha long Bay drift past.
The food was absolutely exceptional. I have no idea how the kitchen team managed to produce such consistently excellent meals, day after day. Every dining experience was a highlight for all of us.
The bike ride to Viet Hai Village was a highlight (and surprisingly easy - highly recommended, even for nervous cyclists). The afternoons were perfectly structured to chill out - kayaks, swimming, and water sports. The water slide proved a huge hit with both kids and adults.
The service was nothing short of 5-star. The staff managed to be consistently present, attentive, and genuinely upbeat throughout our entire stay…..amazing given the demands of their work. With around 45 staff, i can only imagine their cramped quarters, yet they never let this show. Particular shout out to lovely Arthur who anticipated every need and brought humour and warmth to every interaction. Our son really loved Hue who was very kind and introduced him to mocktails… I hope we don’t live to regret that!
What particularly impressed us was the crew actively encouraging us to help clean up the waters. Every kayaking trip brought back sacks of plastic and trash. It was really sad to see the extent of plastic waste, and I wish the government would take stronger action on plastic use. That said, Capella's efforts to raise awareness and take action was appreciated.
Although the cruise is on the more expensive side, it's worth every cent.
Highly recommended for families or couples of all ages and anyone seeking an unforgettable Halong Bay experience.

Capella Cruise was absolutely the right decision. The experience was calm, beautiful, and perfectly in sync with nature. The bay views were stunning, the food was excellent, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout.
The cooking demonstration was a true highlight, made even more memorable by Dilou, whose wit, humor, and engaging personality brought so much energy to the experience. A special thanks to Cuc for the wonderful hospitality. I would happily return and bring my kids next time.

Perfect ending to our Vietnam journey!
This was a blast!! It was an excellent way to end my travels in Vietnam. A calm, relaxing 2-day cruise was perfect. We could enjoy some caves, local culture, and then relax on the boat with drinks and beautiful views. Fab food, views. LOVELY staff with a special shout out to Evelyn! This ship was in amazing condition and appeared to be better equipped and nicer than others around, too. I will 100% join this adventure again!

Great experience
great experience. Our room was in Deck 2. Loved all the meals our table waitress Flora was wonderful and attentive. Activities on board was good. Dark and bright caves is a must visit although it's a very early morning excursion but worth it. We were the first boat to arrive on Cat Ba Island with no crowds.

Fantastic Cruise…. Lived up to all expectations
We looked forward to this part of our holidays the most. Pickup in Hanoi to the Halong in a Limo van was seamless with a toilet stop along the way. Once at the terminal you are transported quickly to the Capella where you are greeted warmly. We had 2 Sky Suite rooms which were beautiful. There are kyaks, a pool/slide, bar and lounge, but the stand out is the food. Dinner was exceptional, and the crew surprised us when they dropped the lights and came out singing happy birthday to my youngest daughter for her 21st which we loved. The crew go over and above and really made the trip special. Wish we could have stayed longer…

Beautiful boat trip. Great staff. Thanks to Smiley and Mr Dong for making it so memorable. The experience offers flexibility in taking part in activities on and off the boat or relaxing and taking in the beautiful views
