Hi, can you help me with booking our trip to Halong? We're an old couple (both over 70 years old) so we need a cabin on the lower deck and good soundproof. Hope you can help.
We will book the cabin far from the engine for you. When is your travel date?

Hello, I'm interested in booking a three-day/2 night cruise on November 28 and 29. We have 2 adults and 3 children (above 8). What will be the best cabin choice for us?
We have a Deluxe Balcony cabin and can arrange next door, 3 child share in same cabin is it ok for you?
Special thanks to Andre for making our trip memorable. The cabin has a pretty small balcony but I can still enjoy the scenery.
The crew team is nice, the meals are also good.
The staff on board is very competent and nice to our family. They even prepare a cake for my birthday and I really appreciate that.
For the schedule, the 3-day tour is better as we had the 2nd day visit the lesser known area, so there were fewer tourists.
Victory Star Cruise is a real must for all nature and boat lovers. Their professional and experienced crew will welcome you warmly and ensure you have a memorable stay. You will be dazzled by the breathtaking views of Halong Bay from the boat's spacious deck. In addition, the onboard spa will offer you a moment of ultimate relaxation.
