Exceptional Services - Signature Halong Cruise”
Although we are switched to Signature Cruise after the booking. The stay is excellent and very enjoyable as the staffs are very friendly and able to assist with everything that we asked. Special thanks to Ms. Harley for all the pre-cruise arrangements and for the lovely flower and birthday cake for my wife. And also thanks to the Ms. Megan the Cruise Manager for the enjoyable trip and special birthday arrangements for my wife during the dinner! Definitely recommend for all my friends and family members and will come back again!

Great cruise with all inclusions”
Really enjoyed this cruise. Paid a little extra for luxury category and reaped the reward to have cooking class, kayaking, tai chi and island cave stop all inclusive. It was clear that although there were many boats leaving the bay we went to an area that had fewer cruises. Staff were super friendly and considerate. Room was great and well appointed. Everything just ran smoothly from luggage being taken across and placed at rooms to the stops for kayaking and overnight. Food on board was great.

Five star haling bay cruise”
We had two of the most beautiful panoramic view rooms (athena terraces Suites), food was top notch five star quality and the staff was over the top accommodating and attentive. My husband and I and our two teenage daughters would highly recommend this cruise. Our ever patient and attentive cruise manager, Mr. Ha, Tonic our restaurant manager and Gin, his assistant were the best. Thank you.

highly recommended ”
We spent a lot of time researching cruises and were so happy with our choice of Athena Cruises- Bai Tu Long. From the moment we checked in, the service and the facilities were 5 star. It was not the typical Ha Long cruise with the crowd and we really enjoyed talking to Tim and Phil. We stayed in the Terrace Suite which gave us our own balcony and space to watch the sunset from the back of the cruise and could not recommend this cruise more!

Birthday Cruise”
This was an amazing cruise for a birthday celebration. Highly recommend going for one of the premier rooms if you can. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, especially Tim. After a lot of research we chose Athena and can say it was worth it.

Cruise of the choice”
I did a lot of survey before I booked this and has no regrets. If you are looking for mid range type of cruise (not too cheap but not the luxurious type), this is the cruise for you. The staffs are very friendly. There is a small balcony in the room. Else you can always go up the deck to enjoy nice view with some drinks (with charge). Bring a hat or cap, and sunglasses of course if you are going in Aug, and participate in the outdoor activities. One thing to note, drinks and drinking water come with a charge, price is still reasonable. They have one for one for alcohol during evening time before the dinner. Overall, this is a relaxing tour. Enjoy!

Halong Bay Cruise”
Went for a 2 nights 3 days cruise at Athena. Service was good! Our cruise manager Chen was excellent! Food was good as well. I feel that the rooms however were a bit old, some of the things were falling down, and the drainage wasn't that great. However, given that it's a cruise, the room size was decent.

Difficult to understand the ratings it got on Agoda....”
We took 2 days, 2 nights package. 1. It is illogical to almost insist on to and fro transport from Hanoi at higher rates by the Cruise management and that too insisting on 16 seat vehicle for a family of 4 at the rate of $215. We got it 7 seat vehicle at the rate of $ 160 in spite of veil threat that we will be responsible if we failed to reach before time. 2. The vegetarian food for an Indian family almost not there. No knowledge of Indian Veg food. 3. No complimentary simple drinking water available for lunch which is complimentary. We have to buy the water to drink from A la Carte. It's strange! 4. The schedule is so fixed that we will have to eat, sleep and have fun as per their timetable.. Back to school....!!! 5. Offered an upgrade in new Athena cruise which was not new but renovated one. 6. No proper welcome drink or snacks at the reception.

Unforgettable trip with Halong Athena Cruise”
i spent 2 day 1 night at Halong Bay for my wedding anniversary celebration. I chose Halong Athena because the it has luxurious facilities but with a reasonable price. I add the package of pick up and drop off from my hotel and the staffs were really helpful. The cruise was beautiful and elegant. The room was clean, spacious and prettier than i expected. We have a room with private balcony and the scenery was amazingly beautiful! i suggest to take a room with private balcony, because it will not dissapont you. the cruise staffs and the tour guide is really friendly and helpful. they also give me wedding anniversary cake, flowers, and a little decoration in my room. Halong Athena Cruise is a perfect choice.

Athena has it all”
With so many cruises to choose from I’m so happy we decided to go with Athena Luxury Cruises! From the friendly staff, the comfortable and spacious rooms to the delicious and variety of food served you don’t have to settle for anything less than an amazing 2 nights of breathtaking scenery. We saw many other vessels during our time out on the bay and Athena was right up there visually with the ones twice the price. I would recommend choosing Athena Luxury Cruises if you’re looking for a relaxing, affordable and memorable experience on Halong Bay.

Outstanding service and attention to detail”
My fmaily’s very first cruise was with Athena Cruise at Bai Tu Long Bay. From the pick-up from my hotel to the drop off after the cruise, everything ran smoothly and every staff worked hard to make passengers feel comfortable and safe. I was extremely satisfied every minute I was on the boat and food was also excellent. They were tasty and decorated perfectly to bring my tastebuds way up my head. I will definitely come back to Athena Cruise for more.

Wonderful Experience Excellent Staff”
All met our expectations except the announcement was not clear enough for us to understand detailed activities. Beside that, the on duty Manager (could not remember his name sorry) takes his responsibilities very seriously he, himself rode along on our boat to send us off to our car on land where the driver drives us to the Da Nang Airport and made sure our luggage was counted and safely transferred to the car. We appreciate their attention to details and every one works very hard to meet our requests and answer our questions. They are dedicated workers... The only downside was the Athena has many venues to advertise their cruise, each has its own ad and attractions, however, some may not agree with the company's polices. They did offer us free transfer from their location to the Airport as their complimentary. We are grateful for it.
