Everything was good
I'm satisfied with the experiences. Thank you for a wonderful trip. I'll recommend this cruise to my friend.
A bit more free time after lunch will be more appreciated, though. It was like 30 minutes. The beach trip after that was fun, and I liked it.

I spent the day on the ship and everything was perfect.
I'm writing mainly to tell you how grateful I am for the way I'm being treated. They're always ready to help. And since my English isn't good enough to express all my gratitude, I ask that you pass it on to them and their managers. They are two extraordinary people whose kindness and attention are making it possible for me to fully enjoy this cruise. Best regards.

Relaxing!
The highlights from our cruise was the landscape, the peace, the activities, and the food.
Tom and our guide are the ones who impressed me the most. If there are more activities in the evening, this will be even better.

2 days in Bai Tu Long Bay
This cruise is perfect for those who want a peaceful and less-touristy trip. Bai Tu Long is still very pristine; there were fewer boats there.
The service from the staff was amazing; they were so friendly, which made the experience even better.
