Hello! We are looking to book a Ha Long Bay cruise for our honeymoon in Vietnam. Would you recommend Peony Cruises for a romantic atmosphere? Or is it more geared towards retirees, families etc? We are also possibly looking at the Paradise Sails, which had high ratings as well, and not sure which to choose between the two. Thank you so much.
Dear Antony Khazanov, I think Peony Cruise will be more suitable for honeymooners rather than Paradise Sails Cruise. Besides, you can also consider Genesis Regal Cruise, Doris Cruise as they are also good options for a honeymoon trip. Best regards, Cindy

Is this true that this ship is barely moving and you can't be in cabin any time you want? I travel with 7 month baby and I thought cruise is gonna be perfect for me, but now I'm reading that kayaking is obligatory and I can't stay in a boat…?
Dear Jagutek, May I understand that you are interested in a 3 days/2 night trip? For a 3 day tour, you will transfer to a day boat from 8am to 4pm on day 2 to do activities and have no access to your cabin during that time.

If you want a cruise that sails consecutively in 3 day (without using a day boat) you can have a look at Au Co Cruise instead. This cruise has an interesting itinerary for 3D2N where you can see both Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. Our offer is USD 690 for a deluxe cabin for 2 adults (+ a baby 7 months old) excluding transfers (USD 35/person/bus Hanoi - Halong - Hanoi).
