Questions & Answers (1)
Hello. Are snorkeling gear included in your services? Can we also expect a coral viewing experience? Additionally, will there be food offered on the boat after 8.30 PM? We're bringing along 3 children, with 2 of them being 4 years old. I'm inquiring about these details to explore potential backup plans.
The gear is not include in our servies, and coral viewing you should go to Nha Trang, Phu Quoc is better






It was amazing to deal with Anna when she made everything very simple for us. Anna even went out of her way to assist my wife in organizing a special Father's Day meal for me with the cruise team. Thank you once more, Anna, for all of your assistance.
Just returned home after the trip. It was nice to enjoy the view of Halong Bay and took pictures and forget about our normal life.
The food was tasty and our cabins were spotless. The program was very diverse and interesting, I really had fun while doing those. Big thumb up to all the staff and to our tour guide :D

The staff were all great, especially the party-loving cruise director and tour guide Tommy. The room is bright, the bathroom is spacious, and there are double spa bathrooms. The massage service there was excellent, very chill. The food is very good and the views are amazing. Visiting the Samoans near the fishing village was not planned, but surprisingly good. For this trip to Halong Bay, I give a very high evaluation. I highly recommend everyone and I intend to come here again. Less
Rick - He was a calm guy who provided us with precise instructions and knowledge to prevent misunderstanding. The crew and service on the cruise were excellent. The food was excellent. Overall, it was a pleasant vacation.
Tery performed a fantastic job. He was really nice and well-informed. It was a fascinating journey to the floating fishing town. We gained a lot of knowledge about the native way of life. Definitely a good investment.
