The food on board was spectacular and had a lot of delicious seafood and veggie options. Drinks were quite expensive though and were not included in meals. The cabin was okay but seemed smaller than in the advertisement. Still, we had one of the best experiences in Vietnam.
We traveled in October and everything from the start to the end was perfect! The bus ride was quite fast but not really smooth. However, Bai Tu Long Bay was awesome and our cabin was nice, clean, with an ensuite bathroom and a lovely balcony. Squid fishing, games, quizzes, cooking demonstrations,... were well-planned social activities, considering everything took place on a quite small boat. Definitely value for money!
Our family took a 2D1N stay with Swan Cruise. I must say kayaking, caving, making spring rolls, karaoke,... all the activities were so much fun! We were a group of 14 people and our accommodations were nice and comfy. Absolutely a great trip! We had many fun experiences but also enough free time to enjoy the views. My advice is to fully immerse in nature and put away your electrical devices.
Mr. Kien, our tour guide, did a great job of introducing us to all the attractions. He was knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. The boat itself was lovely but they would not let you bring your own beverages on board. Food was plentiful and yummy. Highly recommend this cruise! Only one thing was that everyone should protect the environment, as we saw some trash and plastic in the seas, which really upset us.
Truly wonderful experience! The seascapes were stunning and we were pleased that we chose a 3-day cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay - fewer boats and people. All the staff were awesome and kind. The plan was well arranged and the tour guide was interesting. Food was delicious but drinks were not included in the meals.
The tour guide spoke great English and he was very informative and funny. Our trip was perfect and we found a 3D2N more relaxing and less rushed than 2D1N. Although some activities were repeated in the morning such as cooking classes, we had a nice experience. The visit to a fishing village was the highlight of our trip, really tranquil and happy.
A great cruise! We got pick-up and drop-off in Hanoi with some coffee stops, which was a really balanced and efficient ride. Our room was cozy and pleasant, we also had a lovely & clean balcony. Vietnamese food was amazing and we were satisfied with the diversity of drinks on board. Thanks the whole cruise team for this wonderful adventure!
Splendid scenery! Friend crew and exquisite services! I took a 2-day cruise and found the schedule a little bit rushed sometimes, but it kept you fun and busy! I loved it! Kayaking was so much fun and the caves were impressive. I highly recommend you should get up early, do Tai Chi, and watch the sunrise on the seas. Food was delicious but quite repetitive at dinner. Thanks all!
