Recommend experience
The best way to take in Halong Bay’s scenery is with the 2 days/1 night itinerary. All of the activities were pleasant, and the staff on the cruise took fantastic care of everyone on board.The ship has fewer rooms, so there are less passengers and you have more personal space to take in the surroundings.
