A Truly Memorable & Premium Cruise Experience

Our trip with Orchid Premium Cruise was simply excellent and beyond all our expectations.
BestPrice Travel handled the arrangement with ease and professionalism from the start. A particular thanks to Zoe for looking after us during the travel; her service was attentive, quick, and comforting.
The cruise itself was incredible. The yacht was magnificent, private, and immaculately maintained. We really enjoyed the tranquil ambiance, since there were just a few individuals onboard, making the trip feel extremely intimate and premium.
The meal was delicious (fine dining standard), and every element, from the cabin to the activities, was well planned. The crew aboard was polite and gave excellent service throughout.
This vacation got much more special because I was traveling with my father, and I sincerely appreciate how pleasant and meaningful the experience was for him.
Thank you again, Zoe and company, for making this such a meaningful and wonderful vacation. Highly recommended!

Mr. Darbishire

Orchid Premium Cruise

Our hopes were surpassed when we were upgraded to the Orchid Premium Cruise. With only five cabins—a maximum of ten passengers and perhaps fifteen crew members—the ship's quality was outstanding. The colonial-style rooms were excellent.
Additionally, the meal was delicious and so abundant that I would nearly say there was too much of it.
Overall, drink costs are acceptable, especially during happy hours. However, the wine list is not an excellent value because the prices are too high for the type of wine available.
Local bamboo boats will approach you in the evening to offer you wine and beer at a discount, but you will have to haggle hard because they are aware of the boat rates and are attempting to match their low-quality wine prices.

A wonderful experience

They expressly requested a review by mail, however I must add that we thoroughly loved our two-day trip in Lan Ha Bay. Everything was properly organized from beginning to end. The accommodations were gorgeous and spacious, with all the amenities you could want.
Janet arranged a smooth and efficient transfer from our stay in Hanoi to the ship, and then from the cruise to our stay in Ninh Binh. Everything went smoothly.
The food on board was delicious and diverse. There were few people, which created a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
We honestly have no issues. Everything was taken care of. Recommended!

A Fantastic and Magical Experience

The cruise was simply wonderful! I went with my mother, and we had the most amazing experience. The entire team was fantastic, with special gratitude to Dong, Royal, and Bobby for going above and beyond to make our vacation unforgettable. The cuisine was excellent, with the chef preparing exquisite dinners every day. The boat itself was beautiful, and the sights were just magnificent. Every moment seemed unique, and we enjoyed everything about it!

A private and lovely cruise

The personnel were quite kind, the boat was well-designed, and the accommodations were large and gorgeous. The best part was sailing in the early morning. The boat has five rooms, but we were there during the off-season (summer), so there was only one other couple present. So four people and five staff members. Very well cared for and attended to. Bobby and Dong were fantastic.
