Prahjob P –
We loved the crew and every aspect of this trip. Every moment was amazing and the experience exceeded our expectations. Food was plenty and delicious, activities were great, especially the midnight squid fishing, and staff were friendly and humorous. We’d be happy to take this cruise again.
Jack S –
The manager and crew were wonderful to spend time with. The boat was fantastic and really stylish. And it was a truly stunning area. a little chilly and gloomy due to winter. Highly recommend Elysia Cruise!
Siva G –
Fantastic balcony cabin; Mr. Morning was amazing and extremely informed. The cruise was not in a popular tourist location. Recommend 2 nights and 3 days. Kayaking on a day trip was fantastic. Food was excellent.
Dimiter J –
The cleanliness and presentation, as well as the senior suite and private balcony, were all superb. The staff and their manager Gin were excellent, and the surroundings were stunning. It was amazing to observe the locals in their own water homes and the bamboo water boat trip was fantastic. The brief journey to the cave held my interest. The meal served on the boat was likewise quite good and tasty.
