Dear Ola Mabo, Thank you for your inquiry! I have checked and sent you our offer. Please check and let me know if you have further question. Regards, Hallie
My family and I are planning to join one of your cruises in Halong Bay. We are particularly interested in confirming whether specific dietary accommodations can be made for our child, who is autistic and has strict dietary requirements. Would it be possible to provide the following food options during the cruise? . Grilled, pan-fried, or roasted, chicken, pork or beef, and either white rice or French fries, both for lunch and dinner; . Plant-based milk (gluten-free and soy-free); . Gluten-free and dairy-free bread; . Peanut butter or almond butter. We would be very grateful if you could let us know whether these items can be arranged on board. Please feel free to contact me should you need any further information. Thank you very much for your attention and support.
Dear Vinicius, I'm pleased to inform you that we can certainly arrange most of the food options you've requested for your child. This includes grilled, pan-fried, or roasted chicken, pork, or beef, served with either white rice or French fries for both lunch and dinner. We can also provide plant-based milk (gluten-free and soy-free), and either peanut butter or almond butter. However, I must inform you that we are unfortunately unable to guarantee gluten-free and dairy-free bread on board. While we strive to meet all our guests' needs, certain specialized items can be challenging to source consistently. Best regards, Hallie

Our trip was made even better by David and Alee who really gave it their all. They were amazing, nothing was too much for them.
Exceptional cruise! The facilities and service were top-notch. The staff made us feel at home and always went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. Tommy and Harry were outstanding. Thank you for a great time.
We have never had such a high class service before. It seems that many people will be apprehensive about its price, but you will get what you pay for, even more. The services are packaged together with friendly staff like family members, it is a great choice. Do not miss this trip at all costs, the 1 night trip seems to be more economical to the key attractions. Finally, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Halongbaytours team, the service is extremely smooth and professional, always ready to help, good pick-up service. It is really a pleasure to have such a trip. I will not hesitate to recommend the trip to everyone.
