Destinations Hanoi - Hai Phong - Hanoi

Mon Chéri Cruise offers 18 stylish cabins alongside the elegant restaurant and bars, fitness facilities and spa service. The cruise provides 5-star standard services with professional staff to guarantee that can satisfy even the most demanding guests. In addition, we absolutely serve the Western and Asian cuisines, and Mon Chéri Cruises is the first cruise in Halong bay having a separated kitchen for Halal foods which are cooked by foreign Chefs with well-equipped Halal Cooking Certification. Moreover, unlike the classic Halong bay tour, Mon Chéri Cruise departs from Hai Phong city, which is approximately 1.5 hours driving from Hanoi, thus the transferring time from Hanoi to the harbor is considerably reduced.

Best experience at Mon Cheri Cruise

Our President Suite Room was spotless. The service was extremely nice, and the meal was fantastic. Lam, the assistant manager on the trip, was really nice and escorted us to all of the highlights. He was informative and humorous. We really enjoyed and loved it. Thanks a lot Lam and cruise team for organizing so lovely holiday for us. I wholeheartedly suggest this cruise to everyone.
