The service was excellent, and we really enjoyed our entire trip on Elegance 1 from the first evening to the last. Thank you, Athena, for being so kind and patient. Everything was perfect and we had a wonderful time.
We had three wonderful and unforgettable days and two nights on the cruise. The food was delicious, especially the dinner on the last night. Our butler, Athena, was very friendly and accommodating and took great care of us throughout the trip. Thank you, Athena - the service was excellent.
We had a very nice experience, and both Blue and Crystal were great. The crew were very welcoming and helpful. We also used the transport from Hanoi, and both the driver and the staff managing the transfer were flexible and helpful. The food on board was good, and there were plenty of waiters and butlers, so it was easy to order whatever we needed. The excursions are in popular tourist areas, so expect some crowds, but it’s still possible to move around and get some good photos without too many people in the way.
We had an amazing cruise and only wished we could stay longer. Day 2 on the day boat was incredible because there were only four of us, so it felt very private and relaxing. The food was outstanding, and we were very grateful for the room upgrade. Our butler Athena was amazing and really deserves all the praise she gets. JL was also very kind and helpful. This was our first holiday in Vietnam, but definitely not our last. We loved the country and the people. Thank you for everything!
Highly recommend this experience. The boat is very well equipped, and both the food and service were outstanding. Our butler, Mark, was fantastic and was always there whenever we needed anything. The activities were great, and we also enjoyed the entertainment on board. A 10/10 experience.
We had a fantastic 3-night cruise. The boat was spotless, the décor was beautiful, and our terrace suite was absolutely stunning. The food was high quality, and the massage we booked was excellent. The itinerary was also well planned, although it would be nice if they offered a longer cruise so the schedule didn’t feel quite so packed.
Excellent service and a great overall experience. Thank you for your help, JL. We were very happy to cruise with Paradise Elegance. The ship was stable and the ride was very smooth. We really enjoyed the whole experience.
Thuan and the whole crew were very attentive and always ready to help with anything we needed. The scenery in Halong Bay was amazing, both during the day and at night. We took lots of photos, and the staff were also happy to help take family pictures for us. It was a really unforgettable experience for our family. Thank you to the team on Paradise Elegance Cruise.
The Captain’s Suite was perfect. I definitely recommend doing the 2-night cruise - the second day is much more relaxing, and you get to explore quieter, less crowded parts of Halong Bay. Titop Island was way too crowded for us.
