We did this overnight cruise to Halong Bay as part of our booked travel, and it was fantastic. The boat was beautiful, and the cabins were quite comfy. The personnel was quite pleasant and cheerful. The cuisine was excellent. Halong Bay was one of the most gorgeous sites I’ve ever seen, and it’s well worth making the trip.

We’re here for the first time, but it won’t be the last. Mr. Dong did a great job for us. The guy is a kind and friendly person. My wife and I have already decided to come back here for our next holiday next year. We love the scenery, and it helps me relax. I really like what Mother Nature has given me here.

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.

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.
