Cool route!
This cruise itinerary was really cool. I especially loved going to a pearl farm and learning about how they make pearls. We also went to several different Islands and islets that had funny names in Vietnamese. We only know this because the staff were really knowledgeable about the area. They also have good English and helped us talk to local people in the floating villages. I recommend this cruise.

Nothing short of spectacular!
Paradise Elegance – that is exactly what it is. My husband and I were absolutely blown away by the quality of service. We took full advantage of the spa facilitities which were nothing short of spectacular. It wasn’t the cheapest holiday we’ve ever been on but it was worth every single penny.
