5.00This cruise is brilliant. Anh the main tour guide is fantastic he's very informative, good fun, pleasant, helpful. The rest of the crew are great too and can't do enough to make sure you have the best time. The food is great, you get to meet other people who are traveling through Vietnam too. Very relaxing and chilled. You can do kayaking, swimming, crab fishing at night or you can just chill on the boat no pressure. They take you to a little village on either bicycles or electric car, you get to try some local drinks, fish foot spa and see some fantastic views of the area. The rooms are beautiful, you get a big window so are able to always see the beautiful views around you. The boat is very clean This trip is worth doing and worth the money
Small group, Cozy and Friendly Cruise

5.00We had the best experience with Venezia Cruises from beginning to end. The rooms were clean, and the food was tasty, but what we loved the most was the tour guide and the crew on board. They were all lovely and very attentive. Although it was not that warm anymore nor sunny (we were there in mid December), we enjoyed every single activity, whether it was kayaking, making summer rolls, or the bike ride to a local town. The views from the boat were breathtaking and waking up to those views was an amazing experience. If we ever have the chance to go back to Vietnam we will definitely choose Venezia Cruises again.
Amazing cruise along Lan Ha Bay!

5.00What an amazing experience with Venezia. Our guide Tuan was the best! and so are the boat staff. Everyone made sure we were taken care of and well-fed. The food was sooo good! Also, I think this cruise is the best way to see Lan Ha bay, and preferable than crowded Ha Long bay. The excursions (kayak, village biking tour, beach visit) were all really fun. Venezia took a route that avoided crowds and we never had to deal with the crowds of tourists. Do this cruise! I highly recommend them.
