Finally, remember to bring any medications or toiletries you might need while away from home.
Great cruise! Everything was well planned and organized. We’ve got plenty of time for all the activities. The room is nice and we really enjoyed having a little balcony just outside. Highly recommend Bai Tu Long Bay and Lily Cruise!
