The cruise manager, Mr. Minh, provided excellent service. The boat's interior spaces were exquisite and had a wonderful scent. The service is satisfactory overall, albeit the staff could be more helpful if they knew more English. Halong Bay is a stunning location. You can reserve this cruise and enjoy a stress-free, leisurely time.

Everyone was amiable, and enough English was spoken to make things go well. The cabin was also highly excellent. Everything was spotless and lovely except for two things.
One is that our bed was two twin beds squeezed together to be a queen or double bed. We still spent the night there even though I complained, and the following day they transferred me. Sput, you can't just make a giant bed this way. Because of the ample space in the middle, my fiance and I swam around the bed the entire night, and that experience made our sleep not good during this vacation. Other people undoubtedly behave differently, but it made that night and the following day less than ideal but still manageable.
The other complaint is primary and understandable. We are vegan and was not a ton of great vegan food, BUT they did make an effort, and the food, for the most part, was all vegan. Just one thing that vegan has lots of oil and is not super filling.
Even with two things, it was still quite a pleasant experience. Again the staff and accommodation were beautiful and always very lovely. Less
We had a fantastic cabin with the best panorama of Halong bay. Relaxing on a private balcony in the morning was the best thing in the journey. We love it!
The meals were delicious, and the activities were fun. Especially squid fishing and cooking classes. If you are planning a trip to Halong Bay, I strongly advise you to take this package on BestPrice Travel, which supported us a lot with the best price and kind attitude.
The journey was very interesting.
Kayaking and learning how to make spring rolls was a feature and we love it!
