Raelene Q –
We were glad we booked this cruise because the rooms were nice and the beds were comfortable. There are a lot of early-morning events on the itinerary, which can be tiring. If you want a relaxing cruise, you can skip them, but we didn’t because we were interested in them.Abby took great care of us, was very friendly, and made our trips a lot of fun. When I was out and about, I really liked trying the snake rice wine. Abbie, thank you!

My friends were going to Hanoi and didn’t know what to expect, so I planned this overnight trip for them. We had a great weekend, and we got to thank our maid, Sam, for taking such good care of all six of us and going above and beyond what we expected. I also want to thank Harley Tran for helping me make plans over many texts and making sure that everything went smoothly.
