Mon Cheri Cruise

Overview

Mon Chéri Cruise features 18 elegantly designed cabins, complemented by an upscale restaurant, bars, fitness center, and a spa. With a commitment to 5-star luxury service, the cruise ensures a premium experience, tailored to meet the needs of even the most discerning travelers. The onboard dining offers a diverse range of Western and Asian dishes, and Mon Chéri Cruise proudly stands as the first in Halong Bay to offer a dedicated Halal kitchen, managed by expert foreign chefs with Halal Cooking Certification.
