Mon Cheri Cruise launched in 2017 is the ultimate connection between great hospitality and Halong Bay’s beautiful natural landscape. Our first-class service is there to facilitate your enjoyment of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed bay and its surrounding areas.
Your comfort is always our number one priority from start to finish on any of our tours. The professional and warm aura of our staff members will be a constant presence on your cruise. They will listen to your requirements and meet them with enthusiasm.
We travel to the more quiet areas of Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay so you can enjoy their splendor in peace. We always strive to get the best views of the bays’ limestone cliffs, white sand beaches and magical caves and we anchor in the most secluded spots so you can enjoy a level of tranquillity that no other service can provide.
We maximize your family vacation or honeymoon time in Halong Bay by ferrying you between Hanoi and Halong in a much quicker time than other services, meaning you have more opportunities to enjoy the wonders of the bay.
Sit back and let Mon Cheri take care of you.

United KingdomI cruised with my parents and my sister from October. We were picked up by a luxury van from our hotel to the port. The driver was nice. From start to finish, everything was smoothly and enjoyable. I cannot remember the name of the person who guided us for the whole duration. She was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Our cabin was very nice, and had amazing and stunning views from the cabin. The bed was very comfy. Lunch, dinner, and breakfast was tasty with various kind of foods (never same food for every meal) We also joined happy hour on the cruise. They helped us to keep our drinks on the fridge to enjoy each meal. We had relaxed time on the cruise. Not too many guest on Mon Cheri on that date. We liked it. I know that there are many cheaper cruise, but you get what you pay for. So I highly recommend this cruise for those who want to enjoy their vacation in a luxury cruise over Halong Bay – Lan Ha Bay at a reasonable price.

SingaporeMy husband and I decided to spend 2 days 1 night with Mon Cheri Cruise. It was unbelievable. The organizer, the staffs are all professional, great and lovely. We were served good services and awesome foods. Both of us are vegetarians. I thought that there were not much choice for us, but more than expected, we enjoy tasty and varied food on the cruise. The staff were always willing to help us, and understand what you like or don’t like. Loved every single moments we had been there. Thank Mr. Lam – customer service person I guess, Mr Nhan– the bartender, Ms. Annie – the waitress, and Ms. Jennie – the tour guide for their help. Thank you!

United StatesWe had 2 most enjoyable days with overnight cruise. Loved it. We are vegans, so we got fresh vegetarian foods. We were served with many options. The crews were gracious, friendly, and happy. Thank you, Miss Annie, Miss Jenny and Miss Thuy for your hard-working to help us enjoy our days. Mr. Lam (may be the head of the team) always kept everything running smoothly. They are all ensure that tourists like us have wonderful time on the cruise and in Halong Bay. We liked kayaking most. It was fun. We also swam. We did not visit the cave since we preferred to stay on the cruise for massage services. Our cabin was nice and very very comfortable, spacious and clean. Good sleep that night. We woke up in the early morning and did Tai Chi. Cooking class was great too. The chef was funny and gave us a great experiences.

FranceMy wife and I were long for an anniversary celebration on a cruise over Halong Bay. It was more perfect than we expected. Without exception, the crews all were so kind and professional from the beginning to the end. They were all willing to help us and make our trip to be more interesting. Perfect decoration in our room. We also were offered a cake for our anniversary. How wonderful it is! It seemed a kind of thoughtful detail. I would like to say thank you to Jenny (the head of the crew) and Nhan our waitress for their help and warm caring. We will never forget this. We highly recommend you to join and try this cruise by yourselves. It’s worth value of money.

SingaporeThis year, we decided to go to Vietnam for annual holiday. The best decision I had made was to join Halong Bay Overnight Cruise with Mon Cheri Cruise. Warmly welcome and best take care during 3 days we stayed on boat. Thank you Ms Jenny for her well-organized to guide us to visit various sites as a family member. The waitress Nhan and the bartenders Tuan were polite and helpful. Thank you. My son were always busy with his magic tricks while Nhan took care of him well. I was also amazed at his performance. We also met other passengers from other countries and became a big family until the end of the cruising. It was the best trip I have ever had so far. Thanks Mon Cheri Cruise We will back soon. Best wishes
