Dear Castor, A cabin is normally for 2 guests and if you are 3, you can choose either 1 cabin with an extra bed or 2 separate cabins. The option with extra bed costs less than 2 cabins because the 3rd person will need to pay for a single cabin if taking a separate one. Should you need further assistance, please feel free to ask. Best regards, Bonnie (Ms.)

Very good
Activities accurately planned in every second. The vessel was beautiful, surrounding environment was incredible! A good chance to fully enjoy the bay without any disturbances in the situation that Hlb was overtourist. Would recommend kayaking to sightseeing.
Didn't like the food. Limited options & no refilled.

My group had a separate butler who was always there with us. He welcomed us and hosted us so well all the time.

Kevin took good care of us, the rest of the staff was really kind. The boat ran with a stable pace through islands while we were enjoying the view on deck or separate balcony. Local food was right up for all guests much more delicious than anywhere else in Vietnam. Totally recommend this ship company to friends on their upcoming trip.

The staff were super kind and really went out of their way to make sure we had the best holiday!!! Our contact, Hallie, was such a sweet girl. What a gem! She handled all everything, so we just got to relax. Boys and girls at the restaurant were always friendly, and there were plenty of food and drink options to choose from. Trips to different spots, funny and full of interesting info.
Arised a bit of a sewer smell in our bathroom, and the interior needs to be maintained. Plus, Internet wasn’t working in most areas, a bit frustrating but not ruining at all.

Kayaking was a blast and big thanks to Michael for letting us have a little extra time on the water! Room was clean, spacious, and really comfy.
As for lunch, served in buffet, but even though we showed up on time, the food ran out fast as there were so many people while the restaurant didn't refill it!

The staff was absolutely amazing and so attentive throughout our whole stay! Huge thanks to Tony, who always listened carefully to everything we needed and made sure to respond as fast as he could. He made our time here extra special He’s such a sweet guy and knows all the ins and outs of the area.
Just a note drinks at the buffet weren’t included, and you’ll need to pay extra for them (x2 x3 higher than what you'd pay on the mainland)

Very helpful staff the entire time we were there. Jessica was amazing, always around and made our stay so enjoyable. She could anticipate our needs before we even asked! Big thanks to Brian too for sharing interesting stories about the bay and giving us some extra time to kayak.
