We adore less-traveled places, so Lan Ha Bay was a great choice. Our trip was calm and incredibly wonderful thanks to Heritage Binh Chuan. The staff was really courteous and took good care of us. The boat itself is immaculate and has a lovely design. Our spacious cottage has plenty of room and wonderful hot water, all we need. Particularly the kayaking, the activities were engaging. Suggested!
The top cruise operators in Ha Long Bay. Since the ship is relatively new, the amenities are in excellent shape. Nothing was too much bother for the outstanding customer service. They kept us fully updated on the day's plans.
This trip was a really pleasant experience, complete with a lovely, roomy boat, an amazing suite, a big, comfy bed, delicious food, engaging activities, welcoming crew, and, of course, gorgeous views.
The prices of the wine alone were out of control. Simply sip beer.
