This was the perfect cruise. From Jessie, who helped me book for our party of 8, to Mike who supervised some of our activities, it was a phenomenal experience. Our room was wonderful and clean, with a large sitting bed out on the private deck for enjoying the beautiful views of LanHa Bay. We rode bikes to Viet Hai village (a highlight), enjoyed the fish spa in the village, did Tai Chi on the deck, paddled our kayaks to the bright and dark cave, learned how to make spring rolls, used the giant water slide off the back of the ship, fished for squid; ate 5-Star meals, had massages and lived our best lives for 2 glorious days. The crew is wonderful and sooo kind. If you are considering a cruise, THIS is the cruise to take.
We really enjoyed our cruise with Ambassador Signature. Rosie was extremely helpful in assisting us with our booking and organising the trip. We stayed for 3D 2N and would definitely recommend that over 2D 1N if you have the time and money as we loved our hike/trip to the National Park. The food and drink was plentiful and really good, you never went hungry! Rooms were very spacious and very clean.
