What a fantastic trip! The scenery was stunning. The transfers by bus and small boat were easy. The staff, especially Aki and John, were so kind and helpful. The buffets were delicious, but we would have preferred Vietnamese food for the sit down dinners. Take the time to do 2 nights on the water. You get to see and experience so much more. The excursion to Cat Ba Island eas lovely - we wished it had been a few hours longer. Overall a top experience of our time in Vietnam.

2n/3d LAN Ha Bay cruise was a perfect experience to be able to enjoy the area and have time to pause and relax. The team were incredible, polite and Alex in particular stood out to us as he was so friendly, and took special time to socialise with us. We learnt so much about each other’s culture. His presence truely made this experience great! Also a shout out to William who also made effort in socialising with us on boat transfers. He offered to take pictures of us with his hats and took pictures of us on the kayaks when we did not have our phones. We highly recommend this tour!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night 3 day cruise . The boat was well equipped, clean and spacious, there was delicious food and drinks and karaoke kept us entertained the second evening. Nancy and or bar man Tom Cruise made our trip extra happy.

Une belle promenade au milieu d’un décor magnifique. On est hors du temps. Nous avons eu très beau temps donc le voyage était d’autant plus agréable. L’équipage était au petits soins et la chambre très confortable

La croisière était juste incroyable, nous avons fait 3 jours/2 nuits, ce qui nous a permis de visiter un petit village de l’ile de Cat Ba, ce qui n’est pas inclus pour la croisière de 2 jours seulement. Le bateau est tout neuf, les chambres sont spacieuses et propres, la nourriture est excellente et le personnel vraiment adorable. C’était vraiment le luxe!
