Mon Cheri Cruise
A luxury boat by Big Bay Group (sister to Peony) sailing Lan Ha Bay, with two vessels and 42 cabins between them (launched 2018). It's built for both couples and families: an infinity Jacuzzi pool with waterfalls, a 360° mini-golf course, a panoramic bar and gym, plus family and connecting cabins. Cabins run from 35m² ocean suites up to a 90m² President Suite with its own Jacuzzi and terrace.
Scored by our Halong cruise team, who spend their season on these waters. We rate each boat the way a returning guest would - cabins, dining, crew, itinerary and value - not the way a listing does.
Mon Cheri punches above its price on Lan Ha Bay: a 2018 Big Bay Group boat where even the entry Ocean Suites run 35m with a balcony, and the top President Suite reaches 90m with its own jacuzzi and a 180 degree view. The infinity Jacuzzi pool, 360 mini-golf and gym make it a genuine crowd-pleaser for both couples and families, and at roughly 154 USD per guest for a night it is strong value. Two honest caveats: this is a 42-cabin, two-vessel operation rather than an intimate boat, so do not expect solitude, and every rate here is indicative we would reconfirm before you book.

Yes - it has an infinity Jacuzzi pool, a mini-golf course, and family cabins including a 70m² connecting suite for up to 5 and a 55m² Elegance Family suite with its own Jacuzzi. Activities like the cooking class and Trung Trang Cave suit kids well
Same operator (Big Bay Group) and both sail Lan Ha Bay. Mon Cheri is a step up - larger fleet, an infinity pool, mini-golf and a President Suite - while Peony is the more budget-friendly sister boat. Pick by budget and how much you want the extra facilities
