Orchid Trendy Cruise

Thank you to Dong and the team on board the orchid premium for making our experience perfect!

Overall we were very satisfied with our stay, although there are a few things that could be improved. I hope to return one day! We loved the clean room with a nice bathtub with the view. Food was great as well. It was nice to have free access to drinking water, but unfortunately the bottle lids were full of mold. The early morining kayaking in the quiet bay was very pleasant. Swimming was just jumping into the water from the cruise ship stopped offshore, so no resting on the beach. The shuttle car to and from was very bumpy.

We absolutely loved this cruise - although we booked to stay on Orchid Trendy, we were actually on Orchid Classic. I think the only real difference is that there were only 14 rooms on classic as opposed to 20 on Trendy so we were better off! We stayed in a family interconnecting rooms, accessible to each other via the wardrobe which the kids loved! Really excellent standard of room with a view to die for from the bed and bath. Food and service were fantastic throughout, especially from our tour leader, Mr Tien, who went above and beyond to help us when our ongoing flight was delayed, and our waitress, Sky. If anything there was too much food on occasion and we struggled to finish everything but didn’t want to offend! Drinks such as wine and smoothies are very expensive on board but cocktails, beer and other drinks not too bad. Enjoyed the excursions, especially the cycle to the little town (even in the rain!), having an unexpected foot massage by little fish, and kayaking. It would have been better if the day 2 tour had been taken on our own boat rather than having to transfer onto a day boat, but I understand they have to maximise their revenue by getting new customers on board while we were out (the guests were a mixture of people staying for 1 night or 2 nights - we were 2 nights - so while we were out on day 2 a new group checked in on the main boat). All in all we had a fantastic time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Orchid cruises!

We stayed overnight with Orchid Trendy and it was an amazing experience, the team were always available and eager to please. The rooms are amzing, high quality food and shore experience to Cat Ba Island is worth the time. I would not hesitate booking again

The most beautiful experience, service and food amazing.

We were very happy with this cruise. Everything was perfect: room, food, service, staffs. Highly recommend this cruise to everyone

Amazing night on this fab boat. Ha Ling Bay is really worth the trip. Formations are stunning and they seem to go on for miles and miles. Service was brilliant really friendly staff. Good range of things to do with cave visit (better than expected), cooking class and some said fishing (good fun but I think rare to catch anything). Food was nice and great fun in the eve on the top deck bar looking at around all the other boats which looked great lit up at night. Watch out on your bar bill as they automatically pour doubles and bill racks up but thoroughly recommend this trip as amazing experience.

All services were excellent.

Amazing experience
