Pelican cruise’s quality was beyond my expectations for such a reasonable price. We’ve grasped a lot of useful knowledge about the history of Halong Bay and the lifestyle of local fishermen. Kayaking and visiting caves were the two most recommended activities. The cabin crew was very helpful and supported us whenever we need.
The cruise was neat and clean. We were served a lot of good food, especially on the main courses. The captain and other staff always lightened up our mood. I would recommend a longer journey on this cruise instead of only 2 days. It was overall a good experience for me and my friends.
I felt grateful that the cruise took care of us very well. Activities onboard and offshore were mostly inclusive. I loved the cooking class and squid fishing at night the most. The cabins were small but neat and tidy. There was no WIFI onboard but that’s ok because we wanted to spend more time relaxing and gathering with other members. Thank the cruise for bringing us memorable moments on the bay!
My family had a 2-day trip on Pelican cruise and we enjoyed it a lot. The price was affordable and services as well as amenities were sufficient for our entertainment purposes. The staff were friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the cabins smelled mold.
Pelican Cruise had a charming Vietnamese style, showing distinctive features of traditional boats. Cabins were not spacious but had adequate facilities and large windows and balconies viewing the bay. The host was friendly and humorous too, we had a lot of funny stories, and jokes to tell together. The food menu was plentiful and kayaking was definitely the highlight of this trip.
We did a 2-day trip on Halong Bay with Pelican Cruise and I would rate the cruise quality 3 stars. The cabins and facilities were quite old and not updated. The food was acceptable with not many options for European dishes, mainly Vietnamese dishes. Halong Bay was peaceful but not clean at all. The island was also crowded and dirty somewhere. I would love to be back to the bay but expect improvements of these issues.
The cruise programs were a bit rushed as we had a lot of things to do at a time and the time for enjoying the scenery was quite short. Despite this, other activities onboard and the services and amenities were appropriate, come just right with the affordable price. The cabins were not spacious but had everything I expect on an independent tour.
Absolutely great! Pelican Glory was a nice boat with an amazing trip to Halong Bay. The cruise has operated for years thus some parts were running down but still quite safe. What I appreciated the most was the friendliness and helpfulness of all staff and the captain onboard. Feeling happy when travelling with the cruise.
