Thanks you again for taking such great care of all our needs prior to the cruise. I was hesitant to book through an agency, as a independent traveler I tend to avoid such services. But I cannot recommend you and your company enough! Such professional and prompt and friendly service ! Thank you again! Less

The great food and entertainment allowed us to enjoy bay exploration, kayaking and swimming. The dishes on board are also very delicious and full of Vietnamese flavor. And a big thank you to Gin, who managed to write down a recipe for the delicious spring rolls served at dinner.
Also huge shout out to Mr Happy and the rest of his team!! Less

The massage on the cruise was fantastic. Definitely a recommendation! Make sure to reserve a massage with Thu!
This is my first time exploring Halong Bay and I love it so much. In addition to all the great services and activities, we also have a lot of credit to Tuan, who gave us information and support whenever we had questions. I will definitely recommend it to my friends when I return home. Again, the service and views were to die for. It was worth it.
