We had a great tour around Ha Long Bay on the Perla Dawn Sails (recommended by Ha Long Hub – thank you for that, by the way). We truly enjoying the classic Indochina decor, of which the rooms were very comfy. The food was great and the staffs (specially mentioned Harry and Kenny) were very helpful. We also loved bicycle riding, kayaking and swimming. Of course not to forget the live performance of Vietnamese traditional music on deck at night. Very impressive. We would highly recommend this cruise.

We spent two days and one night. The staff is excellent, they are very attentive to customers. Also here, as in the rest of Vietnam, cages reserved special treatment for me who was pregnant. Excellent cleaning. From Hanoi, the boarding took about 2.5 hours but with a really comfortable limo. The activities are mainly two excursions one in the evening on arrival one the next morning by kayak. The price includes all meals served onboard during the excursion. In short, very satisfied, for the landscape and the climate that you breathe; a little less for the sea that leaves much to be desired.

Apart from the extraordinary landscape (but the same for all boats), a very professional organization, a freshly launched boat of great quality (the Junior Suite room is great, do not hesitate to take it …), of proper size (about 15 rooms). The staff is very attentive. Amazing.
