Total Scam
Do not book with this company, it is a scam. I travelled to Ha Long bay to be told there is no cruise. Ancora refuse to give me a refund and Hotels.com cannot or will not help. I have been using Hotels.com for many years both business and please, they have lost my custom.

We did the two night cruise, the food was really good, had a lovely spacious room with large balcony and the staff were very attentive. However, would have preferred a more relaxed programme as there seemed to be a lot of activities to get through but that is perhaps a personal preference. Although we enjoyed the cruise we were on, it wasn’t the cruise we had booked, they changed us to another ship with a different itinerary without consulting us.

It's a new hotel. We got upgraded to the deluxe room. The room is spacious and clean. Breakfast is good with Vietnamese and western food. Staff are very friendly and courteous, nothing is too much, we wanted to have massage and the hotel staff drove us there free of charge. They also arranged shuttle bus to Hanoi for us. There was an electrical problem that caused the power in the room to go off and on several times at night of our stay, they fix the problem reasonably fast and couldn't apologize enough for the trouble.

Great Cruise with good service and tour options
Amazing service, dining and clean rooms. Ancora Cruise provided great service and day trips to caves and islands each day. Rooms are clean and the ship was in good clean shape. Will book again in the future

Beautiful stay
Ancora has really beautiful ship with beautiful room. Hanging out at the balcony, dipping in the jacuzzi bathtub or just chilling on the bed, you will always see the beautiful Halong Bay from your room. The shuttle bus was on time and the overall staff's helpfulness is great. The activities are standard and you can opt out. The food is average but I was there for the experience, not the food.

Refurbished cruise line
Tour was well organised. It was rescheduled due to an event but Marshall from their office was good to WhatsApp and kept me updated of changes. Food served was awesome and they took care of my dietary needs.

Good stay on Ancora.
Jason was amazing. Assistant manager wasn't so great. Pros, bath tub, ship cleanliness, and staff service.
Cons - no upgrade to rooms as stipulated on confirmation email. Bathroom shower wouldn't drain and flooded. A confirmation of a seafood BBQ wasn't delivered. Assistant manager didn't do much to assist in my personal opinion.

The boat was new and clean. Staff was lovely. Food wasn’t great. And I felt rushed trying to get to all of the activities and not well informed what exactly they weee. Perhaps I should have done more research before. Wi-Fi was also slow but that was expected

Magnificent Ha Long Bay Experience
Outstanding, cannot imagine how anything could be better. Attention to finer detail in regard to food, service and guest comfort is given the staff's highest priority. The opportunity to go further into Ha Long Bay to access quieter, less populated areas is one of the highlights of staying the extra day and night. Highly recommend Ancora Cruises to anyone planning a trip to Ha Long Bay

Wow and I mean WOW!!
I really haven’t got the words to say how amazing this cruise was. We were made to feel like the most important people on the boat but in fact they did this to every passenger on there.
We booked the 2/3 day package and to get that extra night to relax in the bath jacuzzi, while in one of the most stunning places I have ever been, priceless!
This was really luxury and by far the best boat in the sea. No boat I saw was half as good. People would pass our boat on the rundown 3* boats and would take pictures of our boat.
Pay the extra and have a time you will remember forever or go on the 3* and be looking at our boat and be wishing you booked the little more expensive boat.
Thank you to all the staff for making this such a special memory.

Great experience
Very well organised trip. The staff was exceptionally friendly. We had a family room with a lovely front view. The food was fantastic. The only problem was we had mosquitoes in the room and luckily we brought a mosquito repellent spray but I could here them buzzing and had an uncomfortable night sleep. Everything else was perfect. It was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend it.

Would do it again.
They keep u busy and are very friendly. Rooms are comfortable,bed firm,hot water needs to be run,wifi weak. I paid $11 at airport for unlimited data for 3 weeks for a SIM card. Thats the best way to go. We had connectivity all over.
