Good: "Smooth and peaceful trip. Good hospitality, safe and peaceful
I recommend this cruise for those who prefer a relaxed and peaceful 1 day 2 night trip. Its definitely not a party trip. So do not expect disturbances (or enjoyment)from Karoke sessions. Service quality is very good. That is typical of vietnam hospitality. Food served is full of adventure. The destination itself is an absolute wonder. It has been rightly judged as a UNESCO heritage and one of the Wonders of the world.

Good: "Best boat in the bay!
Excellent food, service and spectacular spots with this luxury cruise halong bay. We cruised on Paloma and had an amazing time in this boat! It is most definatly one of the nicest boats to cruise on in Halong and everything from the pick up at the hotel to the service in board I cannot fault. It was my birthday while we were on the cruise and the staff organised a cake and flowers for me that night which was very lovely. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Paloma to see the best of halong bay
