Description

Le Journey Luxury Cruise is a 5-star boat on Tuan Chau Island in Ha Long Bay, with sea-view balcony suites, a sun terrace and a restaurant on board. The vessel is a classic ship with spacious balconies, based at the harbour and close to Tuan Chau Beach, so the limestone islands of the bay are never far from the deck.

The four suites range from 30 m² to 60 m². The Junior and Executive Suites are both 30 m² with a private balcony, the first sleeping two and the second up to three. The Family Suite, at 60 m², has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and room for six, while the Presidential Suite adds a terrace, a bathtub and wine or champagne for guests. All four are air-conditioned and have a private bathroom and soundproof walls.

Breakfast options include continental, American, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and Asian dishes, and the restaurant serves Vietnamese, seafood, British, Indian and international cuisine, with a kid-friendly buffet for children. Free WiFi is available in the public areas. The cruise suits families, couples and travellers who want sea views and a stay on the water in the bay.

What guests say

260 verified reviews
8.8

Guests praise the staff most, followed by the scenery of the limestone islands and the meals, served as buffets or set menus with generous portions. The main drawbacks are ageing interiors, a vessel that mostly stays in place, and onboard drinks that some find expensive.
