Exceptional

Very luxury feel on the boat. Staff very friendly and attentive. Great food options and they catered very well for dietary requirements.
Only negative was that the evening canapés/drinks on the top deck felt a little tacky and slightly like a school disco at times, and the canapés were not great (half a grape on a slice of stale baguette).

Best cruise boat and service available. Above all others.
First time cruising in HLB and will not be a last time.
We are very impressed with how Grand Pioneers organized the whole trip of 2 days and 1 night at their property.
Everything was so perfect and we were regret that we should booked at least 2 nights. The staffs and whole crews were so professional, kind and super nice.
We will come back soon.
BEST BOAT IN THE BAY🚢⚓️
Clean , big rooms , great food staff.
Definitely recommend spending a little bit more to get on this boat ~ we were traveling from the USA and we thought the weather was supposed to be nice and it rain for both days that we were in Ha Long Bay, which kind of sucked, but you can’t control the weather.
Definitely would’ve used the pool outdoor bar more if the weather would have cooperated
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SPACE.
loved the gym food was delicious.
Sammy Lilly & all the staff. THANKS.
A wonderful cruise that delivered on comfort quality and service. Staff were very professional and attentive and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. There were many boats in Halong but this was far superior in every way, I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is considering a cruise in Halong.
Just wrapping up our two day/one night cruise on Grand Pioneer. What a great experience. The bay is absolutely stunning. The upgraded room was very nice. We had our own large balcony off the stern of the boat. Our “butler” Nyi was excellent; kind, personable and always helpful. He never missed a beat.
The cave tours were nice and there were plenty of options of activities on board. Not sure of two nights would have been worth it but certainly happy we chose Grand Pioneer for our trip
5 star for this luxury cruise! It is gorgeous super yatch with great amenities and service. Well trained team . Food was wonderful and the views of Ha Long Bay were gorgeous. Our server Anita went above and beyond for us. We would definitely choose this cruise again and recommend to friends and family

The facilities and service on this cruise exceeded our expectations! The ship seems new and far nicer than the others we saw around us. Food is excellent and our butler, Nyi, is the best! Amazing bay, despite the bad luck with weather. The Surprise Cave is a wow and shouldn’t be missed.
Amazing experience, absolutely beautiful yacht and rooms. Everything was the highest quality, including dinning and excursions. Our server Duc was a top notch professional. The trip was worth all the money!
Amazing in everything and staff are amazing and friendly specially our tour guide HOANG DUY KHUONG our manager Alex and the restaurant staff Tu. Around the clock service to ensure we have the best experience. Looking forward to our next cruise
Truly a 5 Star experience from beginning until end. Modern cruise terminal, large transport boat and super friendly staff. Our server Alice was amazing throughout our meals. Jerry the manager was top notch and informative. My executive suite with balcony was modern, spacious and clean. Food was extensive with various options to choose from. Overall, I would highly recommend this overnight cruise in Ha Long.
