Wonderful experience.

David_v, Apr 2026
Really fun and relaxing. Especially sitting looking out over the water at night. Excellent food and drink. Luxurious cabin accommodation. Andy was a wonderful guide and managed everything well. The bus ride is long but that can’t be helped and the bus is comfortable enough.

Cruise first, sightseeing second

Bennett_T, Apr 2025
First, our guide Morning and all the cruise staff were fabulous. From pickup to drop off the cruise was excellent. The boat was beautiful, our room so comfortable, and my god the food was delicious (and too much). It felt like they put a lot of work into making the cruise comfortable and it showed. Bai tu long was gorgeous, and after seeing the port I'm so glad we took this cruise rather than Ha Long Bay. I also enjoyed kayaking through the fishing village and cave excursion. But most of the time on our itinerary was for eating, and by the end I felt like the focus of this trip was a luxury cruise rather than sightseeing. Not bad, but maybe not quite what I was expecting.

Great tour to join, worth the money.

Serene_C, Jun 2023
Booked a tour with my family aged 60s. Tour guide Sunny is experienced and detail in giving instructions and information. Headcount and we’ll bring check is always there. Lunch is covered with good portions of dishes and the seafood included prawns, fish, clam and squid. Not too bad. Drinks not included. Tour paces is appropriate, with Sunny humour it kept us lively throughout. Activities is optional according to health condition which is great. My parents both had a great time in this tour.

Everything around the trip went smoothly. The activities were very well planned and were very nice. But the highlight was food. It was awesome!!! Just for that reason alone I would recommend the cruise, but also the crew was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Prima Trip

Christof_L, Oct 2019
Sehr freundliche Crew und gut abgestimmtes Programm. Sehr reichhaltiges Essen. Vegetarische Sonderwünsche werden gerne erfüllt. Alles sehr touristisch in Ha Long. Wer gerne „Entdecker“ ist und die Einsamkeit liebt ist hier falsch. Trotzdem ein „Muss“ in Vietnam.
