Hera Cruise 2 days / 1 night

我們在郵輪上渡過的三天兩夜是多次出國以來最棒的體驗。
房間非常寬敞舒適漂亮，完勝其他陸地上的飯店旅館。服務是最好的，每一位工作人員都非常誠懇友善且細心，很注重細節，非常貼心，會主動幫忙很多事，英文能力都很棒。小管家Anna非常活潑可愛機靈又體貼，真的把每個人都照顧得非常好。導遊Kenny 則是穩重可靠的紳士， 同時也是個獨木舟高手！很感謝這趟旅程郵輪上的每一個夥伴。郵輪上活動很多，甲板上伴隨日出的太極，竹子船，獨木舟，驚奇島參訪，Bai Tu Long Bay登高，Spa按摩，春捲廚藝課等等，可以悠閒放空卻也一點都不無聊。食物非常的令人驚艷好吃，我很喜歡午餐的烤鴨以及夫妻糕，船上的海鮮非常棒，晚餐前菜的炸淡菜跟牡蠣非常好吃，還有魚春捲很特別，第二天主廚特製的小羊排超級美味，是我們夫妻一致認為是有生以來吃過最好吃的小羊排。強烈推薦！

3 days 2 night Cruise sailing is life-long unforgettable experience.
All staff members are oblinging, amiable and smiley. Anna is very vibrant ,sweet and very thoughtful. kenny is the guide, who is a master of kayking, he is dependable, genuine and talkative. They made Hera cruise feel like a home, like heaven. The room is very capacious and comfortable, superior to hotels. The food is scrumptious! The lamb is stunning, is the best lamb that we’ve ever had. Highly recommend.

It was a very good experience on board.
The staff members especially Kenny, the manger and Zoe, the tour guide and are very nice especially nice to passengers. Good fun having drinks on deck and cooking demonstration with the chef, ‘Number one’.

The food was good as well. Strongly recommended to go on this trip. However, the islands we visited might be a little bit crowded.

We have an incredible experience visiting Halong Bay. Anna, Zoey and the rest of the team made our trip very pleasant and memorable. Every detail was perfect the service, the food and the views were amazing. You see the views on TV and in pictures but they don’t do it justice. AWESOME!!! When you book, be sure to ask for Anna. She is a incredible service person. We are still talking about how perfect she made the trip. The only critique was the trip from Hanoi to the ship. The driver made an unscheduled stop at a tourist trap complete with cheap items for sale. It must be part of the of all the transportation companies stops because there were several buses and tourist with the look on their faces “why are we here”. Make sure you tell them to skip the stop!

We booked this cruise before we left for 3 couples for 3d2n in Private Balcony rooms on the Aphrodite but we were upgraded to 2x Ocean Suites & 1x Earth (Land) Suite. We had a limousine transfer from our hotel in Hanoi which was great in itself and even though we were running late, the driver managed to get us all there in time. The staff were wonderful on the cruise and Anna was especially amazing, making sure she knew all our names and that we were comfortable. Th day trips we took were great but even more amazing was the food on board. Staff were able to meet the dietary needs of the others in our group easily and the food they served was second to none. We booked the longer cruise but still didn’t want to leave afterwards and would highly recommend it and may even do it again ourselves when we’re back in Vietnam!

Hera cruises, the newer sister of Aphrodite cruises is worth every penny. It’s a smaller, and therefore more intimate boat, I think the maximum number of passengers would be 20, though there were 18 on ours. Most of us did the 2 days, 1 night option, but there were two couples that did the 3 days 2 nights which includes a trip further into the bay and a visit to the floating village.
(We were kicking ourselves for not booking that, but as we only have a few days in Hanoi we had to compromise).
The trip itself can be read about on their website, but if, like me you are a little dubious when companies proclaim their greatness, then I hope I can allay your concerns.
We were in “wind” on the 2nd floor which had a little balcony, a king size bed, and en suite with free standing bath. The room was nicely decorated and spotless, the air con was very effective and quiet, the bed was incredibly comfortable; it exceeded our expectations by a country mile.
The staff were brilliant, Anna the manager is a magnificent host, and her team are all attentive and friendly. It felt they genuinely wanted to see us have the best time we could. The chef catered to my allergies without a second thought, nothing was too much for him. Zoey and Nash were incredibly knowledgeable and answered our questions about history and culture in pretty much perfect English. We enjoyed the on ship activities, but weren’t overly taken with the shrimp fishing.
Word to the wise, during happy hour (and half) order your drinks for later- even if it’s just Diet Coke as they let you order in advance, and it makes the cost much more reasonable.

Thank you Hera Cruises for an unforgettable introduction to Vietnam.
