04/06/2019Overall food on board was only average/ poor, wifi poor and bathroom shower was very hot cannot control the shower temperature and entertainment average as all cruise operators provide the same activities, should have brought us to the bigger cave in Ha Long.

10/01/2018My daughter and I were very pleased with your cruise. We spend two nights on your boat and there was enough activities to fill the days with enough down time to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The staff, bus transportation and cruise was very well organized.

21/12/2017Just what we had expected
Would have been nicer not to have so many boats at the same anchor points at night eg have more mooring locations to separate the boats

18/10/2017Mum and I had a fantastic trip on the calypso cruiser. Everything was 10 out of 10. Can't say a bad word about the trip. Also thanks for meeting us at our hotel before we went. Very impressed with the service.

22/06/2017There was always lots of amazing food that was very nicely decorated. The ship was very clean and appeared well maintained.
Besides Karoake and kayaking there really were no other activities. The tour leaders and staff were nice but there wasn't any official introductions to the crew. It would be nice to know their names and roles as well. I would recommend on arriving to the boat to have a safety briefing and introductions… More Besides Karoake and kayaking there really were no other activities. The tour leaders and staff were nice but there wasn't any official introductions to the crew. It would be nice to know their names and roles as well. I would recommend on arriving to the boat to have a safety briefing and introductions with the welcome drinks.
The drinks onboard the cruise are way overpriced compared to normal Vietnamese prices. Why are the drinks so expensive?? I am sure if they were more reasonably priced we would have drunk more. It's not fair to have to pay for all drinks including water and juice.
Please inform 3 day cruise people beforehand that one day will be spent on a smaller boat and to take money for the pearl farm (if desired). We were told that the earrings were approx $30-40US but in fact the least expensive ones were $80US so we didn't have enough money.
This is a comment in regards to the recent painting of all the boats white. We prefer the original dark brown colour of the boats. The white colour ruins the feel/authenticity of the boat.

09/05/2017Service and food was great. Many thanks to our guide, Jackie. He, the Captain and the crew's energy and dedication were the highlight of our experience.
I feel that that there could have been more activities planned within the duration as there were some pockets of time with nothing much to be engaged in. Also, prior to the cruise, I did request that my payment would be in USD and I would like to receive my change in USD as well. However, the staff… More I feel that that there could have been more activities planned within the duration as there were some pockets of time with nothing much to be engaged in.

Perhaps I did not manage to communicate this entirely clearly, but I do hope special requests like this could have been handled well in the future Less

27/10/2016: An excellent way to spend a relaxing time on the cruise, especially the kayaking and caves. It was also peaceful to visit the Fishing village and seeing how the locals live. Also I was extremely suprised at how they really took cqare of the vegetarians like myself and they really went out of their way to cater for them. I felt I was treat like the queen.
