The cruise was overall a nice experience. The Bay is beautiful and the bedrooms very nice. We booked the cruise via TTTG Travel
The trip was superb and perfect for a couple. It was our anniversary and they decorated the bed with rose petals. They gave a complimentary cake as well. The food was delicious and the rooms were very good. I couldn’t have asked more for a anniversary trip 🙂
We had a blast on the boat, it was really fun. Our guide was really nice to us, we had a great time. It was really unforgettable and certainly recommend your services. Will come back for sure ! Thank you very much!
Lan Ha Bay was really nice. We could spend hours relaxing on the top deck and watching the bay. First time I tried squid fishing and caught 2. So lucky me. Thank you everyone on the cruise.
Very relaxing. Very comfortable. Very beautiful. Although food was not all good, we still found it pretty good and varied. Staff was informative and welcoming.
