Traveler Reviews
We literally could not fault this cruise, and it was the highlight of our trip! From the pre-trip communication, transport and the crew/tour guide on the boat, everything was outstanding. We were celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary, and the crew treated us like royalty. The bed was very comfy, our cabin was massive, the food was delicious (and so much of it!) and the activities were exciting, fun and just the right amount of relaxation and adventure. I had a nasty fall on the boat and injured my foot, and the crew and tour guide were incredibly helpful in providing first aid and ensuring t
It was incredible!!! Amazing experience and our tour guide AB was incredible :))) plankot as well was totally worth it!!
Amazing funny activity. The funny guide Levi show us the best places and explain the surroundings. He always takes care of us.
AB was a great host - very kind and thoughtful. Nothing was too much trouble. I recommend her 100%. The trip packed lots of fun things in. The kayaking was a great adventure, stopping off for swimming ( bring shoes as shells are sharp. On the second day we cycled to a village . That was unexpected fun. Husband didn’t cycle - took the buggy instead. Our room on the boat gave us stunning views of the bay and time on the top deck was peaceful and idyllic. You feel a million miles away from the rest of the world. Would recommend Venezia cruises based on our experiences
My friend and I had an amazing experience on this 2-day, 1-night cruise. Everything was beautifully organized, from the breathtaking scenery and kayaking to the cycling trip through a local village, which was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The food was delicious, and the entire experience was enjoyable and well balanced. Our tour guide, Levi, was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the trip. The whole staff was friendly, professional, and always ready to assist. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a great way to discover the bay and its surroundings. We truly enjo
My partner and I really enjoyed the cruise and the activities! Tom Cruise was fantastic and a very great guide, would recommend!

We had a wonderfull time on the cruise. The crew was very friendly especialy Sonny as our personal help was very kind. He told us a lot about the history of Vietnam.
Great experience. Nice environment. And Venezia cruises takes really care of you. Nice cabins, friendly staff and good food.
Thomas was an absolute G, loved the experience very happy
Tom was a funny guy to have around, lots of jokes und fun facts. The tour was really beautiful.
We had a great time with Captain Thii (Tomas Sparrow!) and his crew. Beautiful scenery and nature. Kayaking and swimming in the quiet beach was one of the highlights. Lan Ha Bay is not as busy as HaLong with smaller boats. We were fed very well and visiting the village was also spectacular! Highly recommend.
