Relaxing cruise
Very nice cruise ship. Not new but well-maintained.
The staff was amazing and very helpful.
We traveled to Bai Tu Long Bay; it had fewer tourists, so the tour was peaceful.
All in all, things went well.

Mr Morning war unser Reiseleiter vor Ort, die Brüder haben einen tollen Job gemacht. Trotz Nebel und zeitweisen Regens waren wir beeindruckt von den Karstfelsen. Die Ausflüge sind informativ, das Schiff, dessen Besatzung und die Verpflegung lassen keine Wünsche offen. Wir können diesen Ausflug sehr empfehlen.
