Traveler Reviews
From the moment we stepped on Orient Legacy, the entire crew went above and beyond to make our journey memorable. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care were evident in every interaction. I want to give a very special mention to Nam, one of the servers, who truly made our trip unforgettable. His outstanding service, thoughtful guidance, and willingness to share helpful information made every meal and every moment more enjoyable. Nam’s kindness and hospitality never wavered — he was attentive, warm, and always went the extra mile to make sure we felt welcome and taken care of. Thank yo
looks exactly like the pictures. the staff is so nice. i felt very comfortable as a solo traveler!
Good trip, that was exactly what we expected! Would recommend ! Thanks to the crew for the experience
The experience and staff were outstanding. Everyone so polite and helpful
An amazing cruise, we stayed for 3 days and 2 nights and could not recommend this more. Staying for an extra night made the experience fully worthwhile, and we could explore so much of Ha Long Bay. The cruise was comfortable and had incredible staff always attending to our every need. The food on the first day was interesting, however it improved a lot on the second and third day!
Lam was great! She was extremely kind and a fantastic server that made my trip better than I could have asked for!
This 2 night cruise was incredible. Definitely do this over the one night cruise, the two night is so much better. But what REALLY made our cruise special was Lam. Lam was kind to us from the moment we stepped on board. She made a special birthday plate for me and made us feel welcomed at every meal. She made the cruise unforgettable!
This cruise was fantastic, my partner and I stayed for 2 nights, and had an amazing time. Activities were fun, and food was great. Ms Lam, gave us the most amazing service, she was attentive and professional, we loved getting to know her and couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank-you!
Halong Bay was stunning and the cruise a truly relaxing experience. The boat (La Casta Regal) was well presented, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the food plentiful. The transfers from Hanoi were a mixed experience, but nonetheless efficient and well orchestrated with the cruise. Would definitely recommend this option over the 2D1N option which looked a bit rushed.
Excellent experience on board. Services were exceptional and staff were beyond attentive. Would definitely recommended the 3D2N if possible. 10/10
Thanks a lot to Ms. Lam that made our Time on the Cruise really amazing!! 😍❤️
The cruise was 5☆ from start to finish. Lam is a real credit to the crew - she went above and beyond to make sure we had the most amazing time. Absolutely star!
