Bestpricetravel offered fantastic service, with prompt follow-up from Giulia, who was quite helpful in planning everything for us.
The tour itself was enjoyable, even though it was cloudy and wet on both days. The Hermes Cruises ship is undeniably one of the finer ones around, with very spacious and clean accommodations, as well as good-quality meals.

A fantastic cruise experience away from city life!

The cruise is excellent, with a diverse range of activities (kayaking, trekking, and cooking classes). The Tai Chi courses were canceled due to the cold weather and slick floors.
Special thanks to our tour guide, Lam, who is both informative and attentive. His sense of humor made the tours more enjoyable and interesting.

@Stephen Hargreaves:

The price is seperated cabin price and transfer so that you can make decision on your own. For the flight depart at 16:00 am you will need a private transfer to go direct to the airport, the price will depend how many person will go
