Writing about his latest trip, Mr. Nistush said "1st and foremost, whatever happens, in the end, they will make things right for you. There were a couple of issues with my trip, but I don’t want to mention that, rather, the attitude of the cruise people towards their customers. They surely keep the customers at the top."
Meanwhile, another tourist shared about his returning to Halong Bay with a Swan cruise "It was a great cruise. Every meal was like a 5-course meal (part of the onboard svc), Additional drinks are payable (their coconut coffee is pretty good). Would probably not go for the balcony room next time, as there are many places to chill on the boat (e.g. on the upper deck, front bow area, in your room)."

They catered to all of my dietary restrictions and the meal was great. We ate a lot, and the food never stops coming.
Without a doubt, I recommend Swan!! The three-day itinerary was also excellent; the visit to Viet Ha village was particularly lovely.
We were so delighted here that we felt at home!! Less
All goes perfectly with the Swan 2-day cruise. Great food, adequate program, nice services, and beautiful nature in Bai Tu Long Bay. We got a cheap deal at BestPrice Travel, the company also arranged a Hanoi to Halong transfer for us.
