Book the 3 day/2 night!
Alisa_B, October 2026
Pretty damn fabulous! Cool older boat, well updated and spiffy everywhere! The trip itself was amazing with day 2 being the highlight not many people book the three day so day two only has a few guests, in our case four! We had a private guide and kayak trip to the cave with no other boats anywhere. Exceptional day! The crew onboard were excellent!!

Amazing Tour - definitely would recommend!
Sean_M, October 2026
This was truly an incredible experience. We absolutely loved our room, the staff and the activities. Honestly everything was very amazing and would leap at the opportunity to recommend this to anyone.
The ONLY things that perhaps didn’t meet expectations were the food- felt as it was a little low quality and not much variety. Dinner was often a little uncomfortable due to the other passengers and was often very hot/warm within the dining hall.

Amazingly three days tour
Andrea_Gallicchio, September 2026
We really enjoyed onboarding on this tour, which started exploring Ninh Binh, and continued in the fantastic Lan Ha Bay.
The activities have been really nice, and included a bike tour, kayaking, hiking and a few others.
The food has always been delicious, especially on the cruise; in particular, the dinner on the cruise looked like a one star Michelin dinner. They have always made their best to respect us being vegetarian.
The staff was really kind and they were speaking English very well.
The rooms on the cruise are simply amazing: large, with balcony and a hot thub with a wonderful view on the outside.
I definitely recommend this tour, we couldn’t ask for more!
