My kids have been so thrilled with Vietnam. It was a little bit of everything. I love the cruise. So much to see and do… The people are beautiful. I have been posting pictures and people are in awe of Vietnam. I can only imagine a longer stay here. A short trip is not enough.
The ship is new and the view of Halong Bay is stunning. The air conditioning in the restaurant is nice, and there are several picturesque photography opportunities. Abundant food at reasonable costs.
Great choice for a day cruise
This was a great trip across Halong Bay. The boat was beautiful, the food was great, and the staff was kind. We thoroughly loved the varied activities, which included trekking to Ti Top Island, swimming, wandering around Hang Sung Sot cave with a guide, and kayaking in Hang Luon. It was an amazing experience that we didn't want to end!
The trip lasted for around 6 hours. First, we visit a cave, then go kayaking, and finish by visiting Titop Island for swimming. All activities were fun and memorable. Highly recommend this cruise.
Very nice. I book this cruise with the help of Anna. She was very responsive. The cruise is pretty nice. If I had more time, I'd book an overnight cruise.
