We would like to make a reservation for a comprehensive cruise to Halong Bay through your website. This includes arranging a car transfer or pick-up service from our hotel in Hanoi. There will be a total of 4 adults, requiring 2 cabins. Among the passengers, 3 are from Norway and 1 is from Vietnam. When booking the Orchid Cruise, we noticed that it asks for the country of origin. Can we select Sweden as the country even though one of the passengers is Vietnamese?
