The trip took place very well, we were extremely satisfied. The cruise is beautiful, luxurious and comfortable. The bedroom is large, the space is airy, comfortable and clean, making us feel like at home. The services are also great and the wait staff are all very attentive and caring. The coastal and limestone scenery around Ha Long Bay is breathtaking. The activities are well organized. Being immersed ourselves in afternoon tea, soaking in the jacuzzi in the middle of the vast sky, watching the stars in the Sun Deck to settle the soul after all the chaos with loved ones and friends is a fantastic thing. Delicious food full 3 meals, the food on board that I feel quite satisfied. In the afternoon there is a tea break, in the morning after practicing Tai Chi, we go to enjoy cake and drink tea. In general, you will be served continuously without fear of hunger.

I and my wife did the 2-day 1 night excursion, and in the future, I will book another longer excursion. About the cruise Hermes, it’s beautiful and luxurious, the scenery is beautiful, the day stops are fun and interesting, the events on the cruise are very entertaining, and the food is very delicious… I really enjoyed the beautiful nature on Ha Long bay, it makes me relaxed and comfortable. The crew is very professional and provides excellent service, besides the friendliness of the ship’s staff. As someone who has experienced seasickness before, I must be surprised that I couldn’t even feel that the cruise is moving, not a bit of seasickness at all. We had a good time and we will definitely have another excursion again.
Thank you so much!
