I went with my boyfriend for our anniversary and honestly – the whole thing felt kinda magical. We lucked out with perfect weather, like, not too hot, not sticky. The boat itself was suuuper clean (I’m picky about bathrooms and it passed my test, lol). Our room had this tiny balcony – I snuck out at sunrise with my coffee and just sat there, barely anyone else up. The food was just WOW, so much seafood, and they remembered I can’t eat shellfish. The staff kept coming by to check if we were okay but not in a weird way. We did the kayaking and got totally splashed by my bf being ridiculous. Karaoke night was a riot, especially when a German couple did ABBA. Only thing is, the wifi was weak, so don’t plan on posting live stories. 10/10 would go again, but bring snacks if you get hungry late – kitchen’s closed after dinner.

We were a group of 10 and had a pretty good time on the Starlight. The boat itself was comfy, rooms were nice, meals tasted good, and we had a blast singing karaoke with other travelers. Trying out tai chi was a highlight, and the crew was super friendly. The bay is beautiful, just a bit crowded in spots. The cave and Titop Island were packed with other groups, which wasn’t ideal. Morning kayaking was peaceful though! If you do a longer cruise, maybe you get to see quieter areas.

The overnight trip on Starlight was so good! Alex led our tour and honestly, he was fantastic and knew a ton about Ha Long Bay. He answered everything we threw at him and was super patient and easygoing. The food was awesome and they made sure our dietary stuff was all sorted for the group.

Had a really nice tour—comfortable boat, jaw-dropping sights, and Alex was super nice and helped us with whatever we needed!

Food was tasty, but there was way too much of it and you have to pay extra for drinks. Our tour guide didn't spend much time with our small group, which was a bit disappointing. The bamboo boat ride was awesome though, and the kayaks looked like a blast too. Good option if you're trying to save money.
