We were absolutely blown away by our experience with Aspira. This cruise really solidified the beauty of Vietnam and Ha Long Bay. We were treated with so much kindness by our hosts, especially Alex who picked us up and made sure ever need was exceeded when we were on the boat. Couldn’t recommend enough. This was truly luxury.

First, VERY highly suggest doing the 3 day/2 night cruise. WORTH IT! The shorter itinerary looked rushed.
The Aspira boat was fantastic. One of the nicer boats you’ll see out in the bay without being a gigantic cruise liner. The staff is amazing and will go out of their way for their customers. Our booking agent Johnny was exemplary as well. The accommodations on board were lovely. The activities were also SO fun. Loved biking Cat Ba and kayaking in the bay. A cruise is truly the best way to fully experience Halong.
The food was only okay. Rather disappointed given the rest of the amazing features of this cruise. Also, when they say drinks not included, they mean ALL drinks. They give you one tiny water bottle per night and then you have to pay for the rest at highly inflated prices. They don’t even give you water at meals. That felt very wrong to me.
Overall I’d go again in a heartbeat. I’d just bring myself water and snacks for the journey.
