Asked by Samantha Owen | Aug. 24, 2023 08:31
Please can you confirm the departure and arrival port for this cruise? On the one hand it says it is Got Pier but then in the itinerary it says the cruise leaves from Tuan Chau Pier. Which is correct?!
Answered by Jo | Aug. 24, 2023 08:32
Dear Ms. Samantha, Thank you for your inquiry and we are so happy to hear of your trip plan to Halong Bay. As of Jun 2022, all cruises have moved its operation to Tuan Chau Pier for better facilities in welcoming guests. For the Got pier in Hai Phong it often experiences traffic jam especially during summer which was an inconvenience for many guests. If you have any other questions please let me know any time! Jo (Ms.)
Asked by sam | Aug. 12, 2023 08:58
Does your 3-day trip sail the whole time, or does the boat go back to the dock? I've read several other cruise reviews where guests were shuttled to a small boat for a day trip while the boat returned to the dock and picked up more people. Please clarify.
Answered by Amber | Aug. 12, 2023 08:59
Dear Sam, Thank you for your question. I'm glad to assist you with your trip. When you join a 3-day trip, on the 2nd day, you will be transferred to a small boat, and the boat does not sail the whole time. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any inquiries. Best regards, Amber (Ms.)

Asked by Vanessa Murray | Jul. 18, 2022 09:17
Hi there, We are 2 couples (2 rooms) looking at doing a 2day/1nt cruise, can we possibly get a private return transfer to the boat for just us 4 that is a comfortable vehicle for the 2 men that are very tall. Is the transfer included a bus and if so what would be the additional charge for a private transfer. We are looking at 5th-6th December, and our return flight to Australia departs at 11.35pm 6th Dec I am presuming that would not be a problem to get back to Hanoi in time? Thanks in advance :)
Answered by Ellie | Jul. 18, 2022 09:18
Dear Vanessa, Thank you for contacting us and we can surely arrange private transfer for your group. Have you decided on which cruise you want to take yet? Most trip ends at noon and you will get back to Hanoi around 3:00pm. That would not be a problem for your evening flight. Ellie

Halong Bay itself was beautiful and our tour guide Ruby was friendly but overall we wouldn't recommend the Adela Boutique Cruise. The meals were really disappointing and you were rushed through every meal. Noy very relaxing or enjoyable at all. There is also no rooftop dinner as advertised.We've travelled in Vietnam a lot and are familiar with great Vietnamese food, what we were served was not and we spent the 24 hours pretty hungry. As well as bringing your own snacks, bring along some big bottles of water as you are only provided with one all bottle for the whole time and have to pay for the rest (which adds up).Cruise quality 8 Food/Drink 4 Cabin quality 8 Staff quality 8 Entertainment 8 -

I must say Adela was a cruise of excellence. Every activity was done on time and the staff were very helpful. Cabin rooms had beautiful bay views and were fitted with modern comforts. The Sunset party was definitely the highlight on board with light snacks and beverages while watching the sunset. Next time I would choose the 3- day 2-night itinerary to discover more about this wonderful site.

My children and I had a fantastic time onboard Adela Cruise to explore Lan Ha Bay. This was the first time we have been on a cruise and we were blown away by the elegance of the ship. The itinerary was excellent enabling us to visit wonderful destinations like Dark & Bright Cave and kayaking at Tra Bau Area. The food throughout the journey was also delicious with plenty of seafood. We definitely come back on this cruise if having the opportunity!

We had a good time on Adela Cruise and the staff were attentive. Cabins on the ship were much larger than the ones we stayed in before. The food was acceptable and prices were reasonable too, from around $50 per meal. Besides, yoga class and meditation every morning were energetic and extraordinary to start off the day.

Adela Cruise impressed me from the first sight as it looked very new, unlike many others that were a bit outdated due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The service was attentive and very quick and I did not need to wait for long. There were always activities to do throughout the day.

It was a fantastic cruise; we loved everything about it, from the ship's decoration to the crew, the food, and the entertainment onboard. Our room was large enough and full of modern comfort. During sunset, we had romantic moments watching the sun go down and drank excellent cocktails.
