Our trip on the Athena cruise was fantastic. The food was great, cabin, service and drinks excellent and really good price. The crew were all very friendly and thoughtful, we made a lot of memories with the people here. The scenerary was unvelievable, islands all around. Nothing like I’ve ever seen before. Everything was so smooth, the pace of the itinerary was perfect. Also the cruise is very clean, and well designed. All around great vibes from everybody! Very thankful to have chosen Athena cruise!

We went on a 2 days 1 night cruise with Athena Cruise to Bai Tu Long Bay and it was outstanding! We had heard that Halong Bay was crowded so we opted for Bai Tu Long Bay which was fantastic and not at all busy. We really enjoyed the kayaking as we spent an hour paddling around the islands. The boat itself is fantastic and the food is so delicious. The staff are fantastic, they are so organised and nothing is a bother. They are very approachable and want you to make yourself at home. Highly recommend Athena to Cruise with.

We took the 1 night/2 day cruise option which was right for us. In real terms you're on board for 12 hrs and travelling there and back (from Hanoi) for 6 hours combined.Bags are taken from you on arrival at the cruise terminal and end up in your cabin.Cabins are lovely and luxurious. We even had a bath in ours!Our cruise manager Tim was first class and made sure we were kept busy in his engaging style. Tai Chi, massages, cooking lessons, trips to caves and tiny beach's, kyaking through the floating village, happy-hour!Great trip. Would recommend Athena.
