Customer reviews
Trip went well, the weather was amazing. I took so many pictures of sunset as it was stunning. The boat is not new but the staff's service makes up for it.
I had a great time in Bai Ti Long and will return next year.
A nice cruise, old-fashioned style, and in keeping with the wonderful landscape, the rooms had wonderful views on both sides, and the cabin had a small balcony that allowed you to enjoy the landscape in peace.
The activities and the experience were very good. The food was average although all the staff was wonderful.
The rooms are cozy and the beds are comfortable. However, the room feels old and needs to be renovated. The meals are nice, but the drinks are overpriced for the standard.
Overall it is more or less comparable to the price, you may choose a better cruise ship if you have the budget.
I contacted through the website and MyUen sent me an email. She is very nice and knowledgeable. Thanks to her, I had a hassle-free cruise. It was fascinating.
It's amazing. They surprised us by leaving champagne in our hotel and roses on our bed, knowing that this was our second honeymoon. Very kind and brightened our day!
