    The boat itself was a marvel, boasting beautiful decor throughout

    From the moment we stepped on board our 2-cabin Valentine cruise Halong for a 2-night journey, the experience was nothing short of fabulous. Being the only couple on board, we were attended to by a dedicated crew of 6, providing us with personalized service. The boat itself was a marvel, boasting beautiful decor throughout. Our cabin felt regal, fit for a king and queen.Our journey was made even more remarkable by our exceptional guide, Lucas (Quoc Lương Me), who demonstrated brilliance in his role. His wealth of information about the places we visited added depth to our exploration. ..View More

    Fantastic small boat Valentine Halong cruise

    Fantastic small boat Valentine Halong cruise for our family! We chartered the five-cabin Valentine for our family of seven. Despite being an older cruiser, it boasts fine appointments. The suites feature king beds and marble bathrooms with plenty of hot water. Unfortunately, the weather didn't allow for swimming or kayaking due to fog and rain. Nevertheless, the cuisine was excellent, and the staff went out of their way to please us.
