Fantastic Bai Tu Long Bay Cruise

A group of four friends took the 3 day, 2 night cruise to Bai Tu Long Bay, and we had such an amazing time. The length of the cruise was just right, and the activities were great and nicely spaced out. The two kayak excursions were the highlight of the off-boat activities, followed closely by the beach lunch and swim. The crew is professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. The cabin cozy, clean and the shower had lots of hot water and good pressure. Plenty of lounge chairs on deck. I found the meals to be quite bland and a bit repetitive, but others on the cruise were happy for the milder flavors. I highly recommend this cruise and booking through Best Price Travel. We worked with Janet who provided excellent customer service. The booking process was easy and she is very responsive. This was my second cruise booked with her and I wouldn't use any other travel agency.

Best cruise to get away from the crowds!

I had a terrific time on the three-day, two-night Dragon Pearl cruise. exceeded all expectations. Peter and the other staff ensured that everything went smoothly and assisted us with anything we required. The cruise is packed with activities, but there is also plenty of time to relax and enjoy the scenery. The cuisine was fantastic, and you'll never go hungry!
I really like how ecologically sensitive the organization and its people were.
The road they go is much quieter than Ha Long Bay. Many times, you felt like you were the only boat out there.

It was one of the nicest experiences ever!

There are numerous possibilities for Ha Long Bay cruises. I booked bestpricetravel.com based on a friend's advice who utilized them last year.
We went on a three-day, two-night tour on the Dragon Pearl. It was the perfect amount of time. The guests that chose two days and one night missed out on so much.
The cruise's duration allows you plenty of time to relax and enjoy the facilities, as well as participate in the excellent activities provided, such as visiting a private beach, cave, kayaking, visiting a floating fishing village, and an incredible barbecue on the beach, followed by time to swim and relax.
The cuisine was really excellent. There is a wide range of tasty Vietnamese cuisine to choose from.
Kenny, our tour guide, was lovely and humorous. Nancy, the front-of-house manager, was charming and ensured that her team provided you with the finest possible service.
It was one of the most enjoyable events of my life. You spend a few days in paradise, with exceptional service and cuisine. The communication between drivers and the booking agent, Mia, is professional and clear.

Fabulous trip 2 nights 3 days, delicious food, breathtaking scenery

Our adult family (using three rooms) had a fantastic time on a three-day, two-night trip. We were on Dragon's Pearl 2, a junk with ten cabins. I'm delighted we went for the two-night excursion. We were picked up from our Hanoi hotel in a luxury van, and we joined the ship at lunchtime. We spent the following 48 hours resting and quite comfortable on board.
Our guide and the entire team took excellent care of us, and we were kept up to date on our trip's agenda. The cabins were extremely pleasant (albeit tiny as expected) and included a decent bathroom. Safety precautions were emphasized during the journey.
Food was excellent throughout the trip (another highlight), with a wide selection of options that were both delicious and plentiful. The chef was eager to meet certain food restrictions and allergies. We went on a few kayak adventures, had an unforgettable beach/BBQ experience, and saw a floating hamlet.
The entire family absolutely loved the excursion; we all thought the size of the junk and the trip length were ideal.
