Dear Suzzaine, The primary difference between the Junior Suite and the Senior Suite is their location and accompanying amenities. The Junior Suites are situated on the first floor, while the Senior Suites are located on the second floor. This higher position affords the Senior Suites a better view and a quieter environment compared to the cabins on the first floor. Best regards, Helen

Dear Katherine, Please note that our cruise tours do not include transfer services as a standard offering. This means that whether you are in Hanoi or Halong Bay, any pick-up service would incur an additional fee. Therefore, if you are staying at the Novotel Ha Long Bay, we recommend that you arrange a taxi directly from your hotel to the cruise pier on your own. Best regards, Helen

Such a wonderful time. It was our honeymoon and we were so lucky for the upgraded room. It was large, beautiful and luxurious. The view from our room was amazing. Every activity was well organized. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Definitely come back!

Staff were super friendly and energetic. We were looked after very well. Thank you.
The vessel was a bit tired. Our bathroom had a bad smell. Food was okay, not special.

The staff were amazing! Tom Cruise and Ang were so welcoming. We felt cared for way beyond what we expected.
Wifi was not good, but it did not matter very much.

Halong Bay was gorgeous. We kayaked through the cave and visited a lagoon. The scenery was peaceful. Water was calm.
Our room was a bit aged.

So happy with the 2 nights and 3 days. We had plenty of time enjoying the view and relaxing onboard. Activities were diverse and interesting. Kayaking and swimming were the best. Biking was quite fun. Kathie was very helpful.

Michael and Laya were outstanding. All the staff were friendly and always smiling. We booked the cabin at front and the view was unbelievable.
Too much time standing still. Would be better if the cruise moved more.
