The food was top notch and abundant, with an equally impressive selection of drinks and wines. Upon boarding, we received a thorough briefing, followed by a nightly overview of the next day's activities. Although the cabins were small a bit, they were thoughtfully equipped, including a cozy little deck with two chairs and a table. The crew was fantastic, versatile and accommodating, effortlessly transitioning from serving lunch to providing evening entertainment. Joy, in particular, stood out for her outstanding service. The excursions with Au Co cruise Halong were varied and well-organized, each with clear safety briefings. A wonderful bonus was the fantastic weather, perfect for capturing stunning photos!
