It was simply fantastic!

The only thing I would like to comment on is that it would have been preferable if the cruise was solely for adults; we had three little children on board, which was at times very disruptive.

Hello, Is this mainly for couples or families? I'm a solo 50 yo female and would like to do a 1 night 2 day small cruise ship experience around Halong Bay 28-29 Dec '23. However, I don't wish to be the only non-couple on the boat (NOT looking for a singles one either, just a nice mix of travellers of all ages, gender and backgrounds). Would it be better to just do a day trip instead? Can you please advise the day activities too - is there kayaking/snorkeling/caves etc?
