Pretty nice
I went with my partner to visit Halong Bay, staying for 2 days on this ship.
It is a pretty boat with friendly 24-hour service and a delicious breakfast and lunch (weaker dinner). Beautiful rooms, with a balcony overlooking the sea.
There is Wi-Fi but you don't get the Internet well; the TV is not in Spanish; The activities were good but the cold weather affected us a bit.
Great overall.

The boat isn't new
We spent a night on this boat. It has a traditional style and classic decoration. However, it still needs some renovation.
The landscape of the bay is beautiful, although it is pretty crowded.
The service is the wonderful thing about this cruise.

The room was nice and spacious. The twin cabin was well decorated… Read More
