Absolutely beautiful! Loved the diving off the back of the boat, kayaking and all the food was amazing (even if I didn’t eat seafood)

Really well organised, absolutely wonderful staff and the boat itself was just gorgeous! We were just wishing we booked for two nights rather than one as the experience was out of this world. Would highly recommend!

A lovely way to spend time in Halong Bay! The ship was wonderful, food was good and the staff were extremely friendly. Enjoyed visiting caves and watching the sunset from the top deck. I would recommend this cruise during your time in Vietnam.

The scenery is amazing but the floating garbage and oil floating on the water is overwhelming. You can’t swim safely in that water. It’s sad to see such a beautiful place being ruined by over commercialism. Nobody cares about the pollution of the water with all the countless ships circling around all day. I gave a two star review. One star for the crew that made the best of what they had and one star for the scenery ( ju
