Real experiences from real travelers
We booked the Paradise Elegance suite with a private balcony and it was absolute perfection. The privacy was exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon. Waking up to the karsts right outside our window was magical. The staff went above and beyond.
The transfer from Hanoi was smooth on the new highway. The boat itself was like a floating 5-star hotel. We did the private charter option for our family reunion and having the whole boat to ourselves was incredible. The food was top-tier.
The scenery is just breathtaking. We loved the kayaking excursion at Luon Cave. The only downside was the crowds at Titop Island, but our guide managed to get us there at a slightly quieter time. The cabin was spacious and clean.
Very impressed with the professionalism of the crew. The ship was very modern and stable. We enjoyed the Tai Chi morning session on the deck. Highly recommended for anyone looking for luxury.
The 2-day cruise was the highlight of our Vietnam trip. The Surprise Cave is huge! Our guide was funny and knowledgeable. The private balcony made all the difference for relaxing in the evening.
We did the 2D1N cruise. The squid fishing at night was a fun bonus, even though we didn't catch much! The food was plentiful and catered well to my wife's vegetarian diet.
Booked the presidential suite. The jacuzzi in the room was a nice touch. It felt very exclusive. The transfer from the Old Quarter was comfortable in the limousine van.
Don't just do a day trip, stay overnight! The bay is so peaceful at night and early morning. The staff on the boat were so friendly and helpful. 10/10 experience.
