10/10 recommended!
We booked a 2day/1night cruise to Bay Tu Long Bay with Renea Cruises. Mia helped us with all the arrangements.
We had a fantastic trip!
We LOVED every bit! Expect a tour to the quieter part of Ha Long Bay (Bay Tu Long Bay), with a smaller, authentic boat - with enough comfort, a bit further away from the expanding mass tourism.

I spent the day on the ship and everything was perfect.
I'm writing mainly to tell you how grateful I am for the way I'm being treated. They're always ready to help. And since my English isn't good enough to express all my gratitude, I ask that you pass it on to them and their managers. They are two extraordinary people whose kindness and attention are making it possible for me to fully enjoy this cruise. Best regards.

Super romantic getaway with super nice service!
It's amazing. They surprised us by leaving champagne in our hotel and roses on our bed, knowing that this was our second honeymoon. Very kind and brightened our day!

Relaxing!
The highlights from our cruise was the landscape, the peace, the activities, and the food.
Tom and our guide are the ones who impressed me the most. If there are more activities in the evening, this will be even better.
