Icona di Ho Chi Minh City Saigon Crociera di lusso al tramonto e cena

Dear Liana, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry that the cruise could not proceed as originally scheduled, and we completely understand how disappointing this must have been. However, we would like to clarify an important point for future travelers. This situation was not a scam or a decision made by ICON Saigon Cruise. Shortly after the cruise began, an unexpected force majeure situation occurred and the Port Authority did not grant/continue the required departure clearance, meaning the vessel was legally required to return to the pier and could not continue its scheduled journey. Safety regulations and instructions from the authorities must always take priority, and unfortunately these decisions are beyond the control of the cruise operator. Because the situation developed unexpectedly, some of our onboard staff were also receiving updated information at the same time, which may explain why the communication initially appeared unclear. We sincerely apologize that this was not explained more effectively to you at the time. Most importantly, because the cruise could not be completed, your booking was fully refunded. We would therefore like to reassure future guests that there was no intention to shorten the experience or charge for a service that could not be provided. We regret that circumstances beyond our control disrupted your evening and appreciate your understanding that maritime operations are always subject to Port Authority approval and safety requirements. Warm regards, ICON Saigon Cruise Team

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that the evening did not fully meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify several important points for future guests. Regarding the private function taking place on board, our team spoke with your group beforehand, explained the situation and asked for your agreement before proceeding. We understood from the conversation at the time that your group was comfortable continuing with the cruise. Nevertheless, we acknowledge that the atmosphere may have felt different from what you originally expected, and we regret that this affected your experience. We would also like to clarify the comments regarding the food. Meals on ICON Saigon Cruise are prepared directly in the onboard kitchen by our culinary team. They are not simply taken from insulated containers and served to guests. Food ingredients and prepared dishes are handled according to our food-safety procedures, and meal samples are retained and checked in accordance with our safety-control process before service. We are sorry to hear that some members of your group experienced stomach discomfort later that evening. However, without medical confirmation or evidence establishing the cause, it would not be appropriate to conclude that this resulted from the food served on the cruise. We take food safety very seriously, and no food-safety issue was identified from the service concerned. We understand that the atmosphere created by a private event may not have matched the romantic experience you had anticipated. Your comments have therefore been shared with our team so that communication surrounding private functions and seating arrangements can be made even clearer in advance. This situation was not representative of the usual ICON Saigon Cruise experience, and we remain committed to providing our guests with professional service, quality dining and an enjoyable evening on the Saigon River. Warm regards, ICON Saigon Cruise Team
