Amazing service
I recently had a tour on this cruise and it was very memorable. The weather on the 1st day was very nice but it was raining on the 2nd day.
The service from the staff is outstanding, they are super friendly. They even pull the chair out whenever we want to get out. I'm so thankful for them!

I had a great time!
This is a truly wonderful, relaxing cruise! My family and I had an amazing experience, and the scenery was breathtaking. A big hit was the jacuzzi. However, the crew truly made the trip. Everyone was accommodating with any requirements.

Wonderful experience shared by the entire family. Though pricey, it's well worth the price! Elegant ship, suites, eating area. We had a fun-filled day that includes swimming, kayaking, squid fishing (which we didn't catch), and a visit to the Cat Ba Island cave. Great experience!

We greatly appreciated the meals, services, and accommodations during the vacation. Thank you for all of the crew arrangements. We are vegetarians, but the food is delicious, and the staff are continually checking for everything we need.
