    Welcome tea, kayak tour, happy hour, gourmet meal, squid fishing and disco—the first day was fantastic! The next day, we had Tai Chi early in the morning, followed by a delicious lunch and then time to relax by the pool or go kayaking before brunch. Everything was planned to make us feel at home. Thank you, Jame, for organizing everything. And thank you to Quang, the driver who took us there and back. A great trip!

    The cruise really feels luxurious. From the transportation to the cruise manager to the crew. We were lucky enough to meet Hao, who was the guy in charge of making our stay on the cruise an incredible experience. Attentive and helpful at all times, we wanted for nothing. The ship, the food, the service, the views… simply incredible. Given all the options out there, without knowing any others, I would recommend this one 100

    The room was a bit inconveniently located next to the generator, but otherwise everything was great—the food, the experiences, the service—everything was top notch.

    We spent a night on this beautiful cruise ship: everything was fantastic, from the food to the activities, the room, and the staff. The pick-up service organized directly at our hotel was very convenient and efficient. I recommend everyone spend at least one night in this dream location.
