Cool Halong Bay trip - We spent one night on the ship. The room was well equipped and we had an amazing view from our balcony. We felt very welcome on the ship - the crew did an excepional job. The food was really good, especially the soups - very delicious. On the ship there are plenty of activities - make sure to get up at sunrise to enjoy the full experience. We went on a ride with the bamboo boats to explore the caves. Even though it was raining heavily, the boat ride was fantastic. One bonus: on the ship there is happy hour almost all the time - good cocktails and karaoke.

A lovely cruising night - It was a very good cruise! All the staff were kind and helpful. After I wrote this review, they gave me a free beer or soft drink. If you come to Halong Bay, please stay here! It's a very comfortable trip where you can see the world heritage sites while staying on the ship!

Cruise ship tour - Very good experience with very pleasant local staff and activities. We were able to discover a little more about Vietnam however there was a great lack of drinks (no water at the table or during activities only when we arrived) and the cleanliness of the room could be improved (dust). The boat is large enough with a modern design and large windows to enjoy the view while eating.
