Service from the heart

The itinerary was well-paced: a morning tai chi session, then kayaking, then free time to nap on the loungers. Our connecting cabin for the family was cleverly designed with privacy curtains and ample storage. The food highlight was the pho breakfast station, made-to-order with aromatic broth. Seeing the floating villages and the iconic Thumb Rock up close made me feel I’d truly discovered something special.

Service was efficient and friendly—our request for extra pillows was fulfilled within minutes. The onboard gym was small but sufficient, and the spa’s hot stone massage melted away all travel fatigue. Fresh spring rolls at lunch and a perfectly cooked medium-rare beef tenderloin for dinner showed off Vietnamese flavors with a refined touch. Ha Long Bay’s thousands of islands are a true natural wonder.

The cabin was a cozy sanctuary with premium linens and a private balcony perfect for morning tea overlooking the bay. Each meal was a culinary journey, especially the freshly caught grilled oysters. The guided cave exploration and tai chi session on deck at dawn were unforgettable highlights.
