Despite the weather, we were lucky enough to do all the excursions. The service on board was great, Léo and Vince took good care of all the passengers. Vince showed us how to make spring rolls, it was really cool and with the right technique not so complicated. We even went fishing. The meals were excellent and very varied.
We had a great time on the boat. The excursions were nice, and the times were well chosen to avoid the crowds as much as possible. We went up to the top of Ti Top Island; the caves were interesting to see. On the last day, we also took a little kayak tour. Our cabins were comfortable, and we had a beautiful view from the small balcony. Pretty nice!
The classic ship offers opulent amenities and dining, and the devoted crew team ensures that all demands are addressed.
Kayaking, cooking workshops, and sundeck relaxing are among the available activities. I'll come back with my friends and family next time.
This cruise tour around Halong Bay provides an unforgettable experience with breathtaking vistas of towering cliffs, caves, and lagoons. This place is stunning!
The trip is ideal for people seeking adventure or relaxation, offering an amazing opportunity to explore Halong Bay's natural splendor. You should try the kayaking activities, it was fun and worth a try.
My husband and I visited Ha Long Bay on May 13th, 2024, and we thought the boat service was excellent. Energetic and polite tour operators. Hoang and Manh provided enthusiastic support during my overnight stay here. Next time I visit Ha Long, I'll book them again.
