GREAT: 1) Food , several course all beautifully presented and top quality, great chef. 2) Bed, nice medium firm and bedding great. 3) Staff, professional and very helpful. OK: 1) Rooms bit worn down. 2) Patio to our room had barely enough room for 2 chairs and table.

Everything about this trip was great ( as long as you like getting up really early) the 6+ course lunch and dinner menu was excellent in every way, even the fussy teens tried everything and ate well. Kayaking into a lagoon and onto an isolated beach: what dreams are made of. Getting to the cave before every other group in Halong Bay was worth the early start. Thank you to all the team on Sapphire.

The package is designed for a carefree tour to the most amazing sightings in Vietnam. The cabin is clean & well equipt, culinary skills never fail to delight for all meals and the crews are incredible polite & helpful. The activities were well planned & coordinated, there wasn't a dull moment to note. Be prepared to make friends of various nationalities, so much to share on cultures and differences. This tour should be top 5 in everyone's bucket list.
