They took care of us from the start till the end. The trip was nice and well organized.
Food was excellent and they had even vegan options. We also were amazed by the beauty of Lan Ha bay. Very wonderful time here!

The cruise was great. The area the crew got us was not crowded at all and the crew was super!
Also the kayak/swimming part was so cool as well as the bike trip in Cat Ba Island. I wish I had more time here!

Avoid this company. We had two major issues during our trip which made it overall largely unenjoyable.
1) our toilet in our room overflowed when the boat hit wavey bits all over the floor. We flagged and they put down a towel which sat in the bathroom for the rest of the trip covered in stuff from the toilet. They didn’t even wipe the bathroom floor. It was vile.
2) karaoke continued until after midnight due to some selfish, drunk guests. This meant we did not sleep much as had to be up at 6:30 for breakfast, thus ruining the next day. There was even families onboard.
We asked for a partial refund and have been ignored by the company. They do not care once you have got your money. c£120 each for this rubbish.
Also, my partner does not eat fish and the evening meal had 3 fish dishes, 1 chicken which was inedible so he hardly had anything to eat.

Awful company. We went on the 2D1N Cat Ba/Ha Long/Lan Ha cruise. Was awful from start to finish. Transfer was super early such that we missed breakfast because they couldn't wait 5 minutes for us to even go up and check our room, despite being >20 mins early. Dude was very arrogant. Then on the boat, when we hit open waters our toilet water splashed all over the bathroom floor, literally covering the place in urine and water. We told staff, who just launched a towel down in amongst it all - nice stinking towel just left there for the whole trip. Then the karaoke - started at 9, continued past midnight. 3 guests screaming into the wee hours while the rest of us tried to sleep. Kept us up and we had to be up at 6:30 for a 7am breakfast. Under slept so did not enjoy the second day at all. We offered to sit out the 2nd day and just leave for a partial refund. Head office said they'd "find a solution". This solution has been to ignore all of our messages and emails so far. Once they've got your money, it's gone - be warned. We aren't moany people, but for $150 this tour is a disgrace. Avoid at all costs in my opinion - way nicer boats and better quality trip for the money. How on earth they have 5 starts I'll never know - just appalling.

From the moment Soan (pronounced ‘One’) picked us up from our hotel in old Hanoi we felt safe and looked after. After several pick-ups and transfer to a large comfortable coach we set off South. Having been previously told we needed to pick up a tour from Cat Bah island our worries were dispersed, we were dropped off in a comfortable waiting room for the short wait for the motor boat which took us to our cruise boat. It is a sleek operation with a prescribed and well-trodden route - I suspect that whichever tour you choose you will end up in the right part cruising or sailing around the beautiful Ha Long Bay World Heritage site - there are lots of vessels but room for all. Our cruise on Venezia did not disappoint. Our room was lovely and clean, per the photos. The food was plentiful, drink prices acceptable (Happy Hour most of the evening). We were given lots of free water. We passed a floating village, went kayaking and swimming and visited Hospital Cave. On the boat we made Spring Rolls, fished for squid and had a karaoke session, One was an entertaining and attentive host ensuring the 15 of us including a toddler had everything we needed from start to finish. We highly recommend this cruise. Take a warm top if going in March, it was cool.

I did the 2 days/1 night cruise with Venezia Cruises and could not recommend visiting the bays with them enough! One of the reasons I chose them was because of the great reviews and they live up to the expectation.
They take you to Lan Ha Bay and I loved this because it looks exactly like Halong Bay but less crowded. You will still spend some time navigating and kayaking in Halong Bay!
The boat and rooms are gorgeous. The staff onboard was super nice, the food was incredible (and loads of it) and the highlight for me was Tiger, our tour guide. In my many months in Vietnam, I realized how difficult it is to have a good English-speaking guide, who is local and knowledgeable and he is all of this! Great company!

We had the best experience with Venezia Cruises from beginning to end. The rooms were clean, and the food was tasty, but what we loved the most was the tour guide and the crew on board. They were all lovely and very attentive. Although it was not that warm anymore nor sunny (we were there in mid December), we enjoyed every single activity, whether it was kayaking, making summer rolls, or the bike ride to a local town. The views from the boat were breathtaking and waking up to those views was an amazing experience. If we ever have the chance to go back to Vietnam we will definitely choose Venezia Cruises again.
