Thank you for the whole experience.
The Heritage Cruise was the highlight of my trip to Vietnam. The ship feels like a floating boutique hotel, with beautiful design, spacious rooms, and the glass ceiling at the ship's center is brilliant.
The crew was incredibly friendly, the food was excellent (a mix of Vietnamese and Western), and the activities like kayaking and visiting Dark & Bright Cave. Highly recommend!
My wife and I went on a 2-night cruise through Lan Ha Bay and enjoyed it. The scenery was stunning, and the service on board was top-notch. Our cabin was very comfortable, with a small balcony where we could relax and take in the view.
There was also a chance to swim near the boat. The water was calm… Read More
Pretty nice cruise. We are enjoying the staff. They are very nice and welcoming. The scenery is amazing. Thanks.
The food is fair, but the wine list is weak. Where we anchored is quite pleasant. We are overall enjoying the trip.
