We have never had such a high class service before. It seems that many people will be apprehensive about its price, but you will get what you pay for, even more. The services are packaged together with friendly staff like family members, it is a great choice. Do not miss this trip at all costs, the 1 night trip seems to be more economical to the key attractions. Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Halongbaytours team, the service is extremely smooth and professional, always ready to help, good pick-up service. It is really a pleasure to have such a trip. I will not hesitate to recommend the trip to everyone.
Incredible experience. The crew served us with all their heart, rarely have we encountered such good service. Thanks so much for keeping us informed and entertained.
The staff were energetic, enthusiastic, and never refused any of our requests. Food was great. The whole trip was great.
This cruise was truly luxurious and valued for money. Program was great with nice balance of activities and relaxing time. The facilities, food, and staff were all exceptional. Alee, our butler, was truly outstanding. We experienced the best service ever. I highly recommend this cruise! Book 2 nights if possible.
Incredibly beautiful view and boat. We had such a memorable trip. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Harry Wu and Hannah for their exceptional care and attention. Will be back with my family.
Elite of the Seas is exceptional. The rooms and views are simply stunning. The service is impeccable. The culinary experience was extraordinary with 8-course lunches and dinners. A special thank you to Harry, Tony, and Jay for making it an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be back!
