Dong made our trip on the ship a really great one. La Pandora Cruise is a great choice. Everything was great: the service, the rooms, the food, the activities, etc.

We had a great time on the La Casta Cruise Halong Bay. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Dong gave the best comfort and services. Thank you so much for this wonderful time.

From the beginning to the end, Dong was a great host. He took care of everything we needed and was always there to help. His excitement is contagious, and it’s clear that he loves what he does. We didn’t know how to thank him enough. The service was great, and I would suggest it to anyone.
vinod P –
The cruise through Halong Bay was such a nice treat. I didn’t know what to expect, but the end result was great! The rooms were very big and clean, the food was delicious, and the staff was all very skilled at what they did. Mr. Lam did his best to keep me and my travelling partners entertained, and I’m looking forward to a longer cruise in the future.
Patricia K –
All of the workers were very friendly and willing to help. A cheap tour to see the bay with smooth sailing, good food, and a good price! Due to an allergy, Miss Huong and Lucky, who worked as wait staff, made sure we had meals without fish. They went out of their way!
