Absolute comfort
We were impressed by the elegance of the boat. Our cabin offered every comfort we needed, with quality bedding and a panoramic view of the bay. The staff, especially Mina and David, were remarkably kind, making our stay even more enjoyable. The meals were generous and delicious, showcase the richness of Vietnamese cuisine. An experience we won't soon forget.
