Great cruise experience in Halon Bay, The terrace suite on 2nd level is just superb. It has brilliant room, with terrace & the bathroom with bathtub with side open to sea is an experience of life time. Staff is nice, communication in English is bit of an issue. Bed in the room was just super with correct amount of support to back.
Veg food menu on the cruise need little more variety.
Me and my family had a wonderful time at the Genesis Regal Cruise. We stayed for a night. It was one of our best nights in our Vietnam trip. The experience was great. The food served on the cruise had great variety and tastes awesome. You know there were not corners cut for the food options . There were a lot of fun activities on board to keep us occupied. We could go kayaking, swimming, squid fishing, cave excursion by boat, cooking, Karaoke, etc… super fun and my whole family had a great time! Recommend it highly!
Very enjoyable. Very good ship!
Lan Ha bay is stunning and peaceful. Kayaking on the bay is the highlight. Bamboo boat on the first day (bright cave) was nice to try but if possible, we preferred kayaking there. Other things were great.
My family with 2 kids booked 2 nights because we like the cycling trip and swimming at Ba Trai Dao beach. The boat is elegantly designed and thoughtful-appointed. Our family cabin is spacious and has a perfect view of the bay. Food on the first day was better than the second day but we overall loved it. Our kids like squid fishing and swimming in the bay. Cycling around the tranquil village was relaxing.
