Very nice cruise with good food, nice cabins with balcony and very friendly staff. A lot of small attentions make you feel really welcome. The team is really adorable and also takes a lot of time for personal exchange if you want to. Even the Cruise Manager Viet is always close and always available for questions or a quick chat. The excursions are entertaining and the guides (thanks to Hai for the great kayak experience) always make you feel safe. We found particularly pleasant that the excursions were not imposed on us but we could always decide on. Special requests (e.g. food) were met by the staff in a friendly and sustainable manner. You really feel welcome and cared for.

Had a really great experience on the Huong Hai Sealife cruise. Halong bay is just beautiful. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. They made my birthday special by surprising me with a cake. Excellent food. Great activities. A pleasant couple of days in Ha Long Bay. Thank you to Mr Ha, Mr Viet and rest of the staff. Would definitely recommend.

Overnight cruise with many activities such as kayaking or fishing cove visit. The very friendly staff and worried about not eating gluten gave me special dishes. Very revamped. What do you have notions of English since only then are communicated on the cruise ship.
