Fantastic cruise!
We were very satisfied with that cruise. It was very special and amazing experience! We were looking for an alternative to the Ha Long Bay cruises and are so glad we found this one. Everything was so well organized and the whole crew did an excellent job. It all started even before the tour with the outstanding customer service from Mr. Quy. On the boat, we were welcomed by a very attentive team along with the wonderful and professional cruise manager Andy.
I really liked that the boat doesn’t have too many cabins, which creates a pleasant and cozy atmosphere on the cruise. We were also greeted with a surprise upon arrival, showing that even the smallest details had been thoughtfully planned. I loved the interior of the boat, and our room with a private terrace was amazing! We were lucky with the weather and got to enjoy a stunning sunset. Bai Tu Long Bay was incredibly beautiful and clean — definitely the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. Highly recommended to everyone!

Paloma Cruise & Mr. Quy’s customer service
We had an amazing time on the Paloma 2 day-1 night cruise in the Executive Suite Balcony on 2nd deck with an extra bed for our 5-year old daughter. Scenery was incredible, boat manager (Peter) was attentive and food was great. Definitely checked off a bucket list item for us!
One of the best things was working with the travel manager, Mr. Quy. He is the epitome of customer service! I had a million questions about the cruise and he responded promptly over weeks. Then upon my prompting I asked him to help coordinate additional transportation, hotel and a tour in Ninh Binh. He helped customize everything for me including private transportation back to the airport in Hanoi at the time specified. He followed up to make sure everything went well. After all this, Mr. Quy went above and beyond in helping pick up my lost prescription glasses from a Grab office and mailing them to me in the US saving me tons of money. I highly recommend working with Mr. Quy for your Vietnam adventures!

Best welcome to Vietnam ..ever
We were very happy to have the support of this company. With the planning of Mr Huy, we had the airport pickup and accommodation in Hanoi taken care of! Then we travelled to HaLong for our fabulous 2d/1n cruise. Wow! 🤩 we strongly recommend to all visitors to work with such a great company. Nothing was any trouble for Mr Huy to care for our travels. Now safely at Hanoi airport, we feel very privileged for the ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 💫 attention.🤩 thank you👏👏👏
