Terrific Luxury Cruise on Halong Bay

Awesome luxury cruise on Halong Bay. Everything was perfect. The Paloma Suite was definitely worth it, with the spacious balcony at the front of the boat. The food was good, itinerary was fun, crew was friendly. The WiFi was no bueno, so that was only downside if you need it. We stayed 1 night/2day, could easily have stayed an extra night for 2 total.

We had an incredible stay with Paloma. The on board manager and staff were lovely. We loved the activities. We’re not usually the cruisin’ type so this was the fanciest place we stayed overnight. I really could have gone for two days if I had the time and the money. My only gripe was that all the drinks were in American dollars so I had to do a mental conversion twice in my head before paying. Minor i suppose but the cruise is really geared towards American tourists. Halong Bay is a must see and Paloma really made it lovely cruising to the quieter areas. Thanks so much to all the crew!

Great value with friendly staff

Great value for money one night cruise. Lots of activities squeezed in by the extremely hard working staff....top marks guys. Food was great and drinks decently priced. The cruising part was a bit short. Everything was very orchestrated and all the boats done the same thing. Cruised there.... anchored up... Cruised back. All in all.... very enjoyable but too far to travel from Hanoi for a one night cruise.

It was an amazing experience from pick up to food to activities to the staff everything was exceptional. They even presented us with flowers and a cake for our anniversary.

Fantastic Family cruise for us. 3days/2nights highly recommended if you want to swim in the balmy waters of Halong Bay on day 2. Food was exceptional and more than expected. Activities were great for the family but be aware you transfer to a different smaller boat for day 2 activities - bring cash to cover any drinks you have to avoid any embarrassment, something I completely overlooked. Only real mark down if any is the marked difference in drink prices in comparison to anywhere else in Vietnam not included in the cruise. Other than that an excellent boat with a great crew! Thanks Paloma!

Good service with a reasonable staff-guest ratio

Booked a 1 night stay on Paloma cruise. Transport picked us up at our hotel at the agreed timing (2 way transport USD 25 per pax) and we were warmly welcomed by the guide. It is a long 3 plus hour ride and we are glad to have WIFI service available on the go provided by the bus. The cruise is overall cosy and service is great. Food provided on board was delicious but drinks were a little expensive (which I guess would be the same on all other cruises). We had a great stay overall. If given a choice of kayak vs bumboat, choose the latter as you will get to enjoy the scenary. We went on kayak and was busy paddling, plus bringing a camera along was not recommended (as we will get wet) and hence quite a disappointment.
