The marketing and the price make this appear a 5 star experience on paper, but if you’re used to luxury hotels then I think you’ll be disappointed. We’re talking £750/$1000 price point for a 1 night cruise which is a huge amount of money in Vietnam so I expect the best of everything like what I’ve got in the top hotels in Vietnam (Reverie Saigon, Capella Hanoi, Regent Phu Quoc, Four Season Hoi An etc). The boat looks tired as it’s clearly not cleaned and maintained properly, presumably as it’s essentially a work horse where one load of passengers disembark at 10:30, and they then load the next passengers on at 11:45, and this happens day in day out. The rooms are looking tired (scuffed walls, broken lamp shades held together by cable ties, poor lighting) and they are low standard with low quality sheets, cheap pillows and duvet that are manmade fibres not down, tea and coffee selection is atrocious with the cheapest Lipton bags and very strange flavours like strawberry tea. My room was also meant to come with a bottle of sparking wine but it turned out to be a cheap half bottle of red wine. The hot tub temperature was tepid at best and dirty. The a/c unit worked but was filthy with dust. The food was abysmal. They are aiming for fine dining cuisine but clearly the chefs haven’t been to catering college. The food was so bad that I struggled to eat it and preferred to go hungry. Call me boring, but I also didn’t appreciate them pumping out loud club music from 17:15 what penetrated all parts of the boat including our room. I didn’t get angry with the staff as clearly they know no better; they clearly haven’t been trained like what they do in top hotel brands. The staff are lovely though and are clearly trying their best, which in turn makes you feel bad about making a fuss as they simply can’t fix the situation as the problems are fundamental and across the board. The tender boat also had quite a significant crash into a fishing boat while transferring us to Ginger. The manager gave some bull about it being because of the currents, but it was plain and simple because the driver was chatting away to his colleagues and not paying attention. The incident could have been very serious, and I was surprised by the complete nonchalant response. We were also given a letter after dinner which included a request for a tip and recommending that $40-50 is typical per room! I could go on and on, but I trust this warns others not to make the same mistake as us booking heritage line. DO NOT BOOK A HERITAGE LINE CRUISE! I’ve no idea if there’s better cruises out there though. One last word of warning, obviously nothing to do with Heritage Line, but Ha Long Bay is extremely polluted with rubbish and what looks like raw sewage which doesn’t exactly wet your appetite when you’re being served local seafood. I later read that most of Hanoi’s sewage is pumped untreated into the river which then reaches Ha Long Bag ….
