Must-Have Special Cruise of Halong Bay

The food was exceptional. They customized every meal to needs, given we had several allergies. And it was delicious. Given that we were traveling with 2 young children, getting this extra and high quality support made a huge difference for us. The staff were truly warm, helpful and experienced. You could tell that they enjoyed their jobs and felt comfortable with each other. That goes a long way to making the overall environment a lot more relaxed and fun. Happy hour was such a good time. That surprised us. Imagine having drinks with the same quality as a bar in New York City or London, but with the backdrop of the majestic giant stones of Halong Bay. Best happy hour experience I have ever had. I hope to experience it again someday.

Finally, the family suite cabin was superb. New, clean, beautiful, spacious. We had wall to wall balcony doors and a beautiful private balcony. The bathroom had a full bathtub. We actually soaked in it and with that huge window — again, this was probably one of the best soaks we will ever have because that view is incredible. And the trips to local beaches and caves each day were high quality and well-planned. Loved every minute of this. To Cycad Cruise: thank you for making our 3 day / 2 night stay so special. You took care of us so consistently. If you ever need a family to serve as your ambassadors, just send us an email. We will happily share more details about our wonderful experience sailing Bai Tu Long Bay with you. See you soon!
