Guest Reviews Summary

The Hermes Cruise consistently receives high praise, with an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 111 reviews. Guests frequently highlight the spacious and comfortable cabins, particularly the family suites, and the well-maintained cleanliness of the vessel.

The itineraries are appreciated for their balanced mix of outdoor activities and sightseeing, with kayaking often cited as a particular highlight. Traditional music performances at dinner provide a cultural touch. Service is consistently described as professional, attentive, and efficient, from check-in to the knowledgeable and friendly tour guides.

A once-in-a-lifetime adventure we will never forget

This cruise delivered on every promise and then some. The natural beauty of the bay is staggering, but what really sets this cruise apart is the quality of the team. From the chef to the housekeeping staff to the excursion guides, everyone was exceptional. The timetable was perfectly paced – never rushed, never boring. An absolute masterpiece of a journey.

The most beautiful seascape we have ever cruised

We have cruised extensively around the world and this cruise sits comfortably among the very best. The attention to detail is remarkable – from the fresh orchid in our cabin each morning to the thoughtfully curated itinerary. Our guides were knowledgeable and passionate, the chef was outstanding, and the overall experience was seamless. Vietnam has stolen our hearts.

Absolutely magical – exceeded every single expectation

The scenery alone would make this cruise worth it, but the exceptional service takes it to an entirely different level. Our cabin steward kept our room in perfect condition and was always discreet. The dining team made excellent recommendations each evening and dietary requirements were handled without any fuss. A first-class experience from beginning to end.

A truly world-class cruise in Vietnam

An absolute gem. We researched extensively before booking and this cruise outperformed every review we had read. The crew-to-guest ratio meant we always felt attended to without ever feeling crowded. The excursions were varied and well-paced. Watching the fishing village come alive at dusk from the water was a sight I will never forget. Simply outstanding.

Worth every dollar – a genuine dream come true

My partner and I booked this cruise for our anniversary and it could not have been more perfect. The kayaking through hidden grottos was awe-inspiring, and watching the sunrise from our private balcony over the misty bay was something out of a dream. The staff remembered our names from day one and the food was restaurant-quality. An experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.

Wonderful trip, nearly perfect from start to finish

We had a great time and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The breakfast spread each morning was impressive and the chef clearly knows his craft. The complimentary welcome drink and cold towels on arrival set a great tone. Service dipped slightly during busy periods but the team were always smiling and willing to help. Would recommend to anyone visiting Vietnam.

Pure luxury on the emerald waters

From the welcome drink on arrival to the farewell breakfast, every moment was thoughtfully curated. The cruise struck the perfect balance between relaxation and adventure. Our cabin had a beautiful private balcony from which we watched the bay change colour at dawn. The food was some of the finest Vietnamese cuisine we encountered on our entire three-week trip.

An unforgettable journey through Vietnam's karst landscape

Travelling as a group of six friends, we could not have chosen better. The sundeck was perfect for our evening gatherings, the crew kept the wine flowing, and the excursions were varied enough that everyone found something they loved. The cooking demonstration with the chef was a delightful bonus. This cruise converted all six of us into Vietnam fans for life.

Pleasant experience on the water, crew very helpful

An enjoyable and memorable experience. Highlights included the kayaking through the arches, the sunset cocktails, and the genuinely impressive seafood dinner. Our cabin was comfortable and the bathroom well-appointed. I'd have loved slightly more time at some of the scenic spots, but this is a small gripe in the context of an otherwise wonderful trip.

Very enjoyable cruise with just a few minor niggles

Wonderful trip that came very close to perfection. The cabin was spacious and clean, and the daily fresh fruit arrangement was a lovely touch. Food quality was high – especially the seafood dishes. We would have appreciated slightly more flexibility in the excursion schedule as we felt a little rushed at one or two stops. That aside, an excellent cruise we would happily book again.

Highly recommended with a couple of small reservations

We really enjoyed our time aboard and the scenery was every bit as spectacular as described. The cabin was comfortable and our steward was attentive and friendly. The food was generally very good, though the dinner menu on the second night felt a little repetitive. The sunset cruise on the upper deck was a real highlight. Overall a very positive experience and we would recommend it without hesitation.

Perfect honeymoon – romantic and utterly magical

We have been planning this trip for three years and it lived up to every expectation. The scenery is jaw-dropping – no photograph really does it justice. The cabin was immaculate and the bed was the most comfortable we have slept in on any cruise. The sunset cocktail hour on the top deck is not to be missed. Book this cruise. You will not regret it for a single moment.

Great value and genuinely breathtaking scenery

Thoroughly enjoyed our time on the water. The cruise struck a good balance between organised activities and free time. Food was consistently good with a few genuinely excellent dishes standing out. The crew were attentive and the cabin comfortable. Small quibble: the wifi was quite slow, but given the remote location that is entirely understandable. Would recommend without hesitation.

Worth every dollar – a genuine dream come true

Honestly the best travel experience of my entire life. The crew were warm, professional, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making guests happy. Every meal was a culinary event. The squid fishing by night was hilarious fun, and visiting the floating fishing village gave us a perspective on local life we had not expected. Five stars is an understatement.

Okay experience – expected a little more for the cost

We enjoyed aspects of the cruise, particularly the scenery which was as magnificent as promised. However communication from staff was sometimes unclear and we nearly missed one excursion because we were not told clearly when the boat was departing. The food was average rather than the gourmet experience described. Still glad we went – the location is magical – but the execution needs improvement.
