Such a wonderful time with only 10 people onboard. We met all nice people and a great team who was hospitable, friendly and kind. Andy always took care of us. The food was great. Really love the dinner on the deck. Overall we were satisfied with the cruise. Highly recommended.

Delicious food with great selection. Fun-filled program. Attentive and polite staff. Service was great. Thank you!

Ambassador Cruise was wonderful. The staff were welcoming and courteous. I had allergies to seafood and they always made sure I was served alternatives and enjoyed them. Vanessa were so attentive. The program was great. Nothing was trouble.

Big ship, nice decor, large windows, seeing ha long bay upon waking up was great. Tasty food. We are foodies so it was a blessing to enjoy many traditional Vietnamese dishes. Will recommend to friends.

One of the highlights of our tour to Vietnam. The trip was relaxing. The staff made us feel very comfortable. We enjoyed the food, our balcony rooms, kayaking, cooking class. Next time we will definitely book 2 nights.

The staff was caring and attentive. They made sure my food allergy was well taken care of. Tom is the best tour guide. He is knowledgeable and always happy to share great information to us. Very glad we booked this cruise.

There were 4 of us. We stayed for 2 nights on Dora Cruise. The location was beautiful. The ship was spacious. Our rooms were modern and fully equipped. The bathroom with tub was excellent. The staff was amazing. They were friendly and enthusiastic. Food was generous and of good quality. All the activities were interesting. We had a very fun cooking class, kayaking, cycling. Highly recommended!

We had 3 days 2 nights on Rosy Cruise, it was our once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
They kindly arranged the pickup service which was included from/to our hotel. Upon arrival, everything went smoothly, we were kept informed about the upcoming 3-day itinerary. Of course the activities can be adjusted according to our personal preferences. I am not a big sports enthusiast, so accept to skip it, to relax on the cruise. Just to relax on the cruise, everything was worth it. I'm willing to bet I'm not alone.
During the meal, they took care of us like VIP guests, very professional. Food was surprisingly delicious.
Everything was luxury surrounded. Really recommended.

A surprising gift I gifted to my fiancée - Grand Pioneers cruise. The staff made it extra special. They prepared some little surprises during dinner, amazing. It was a memorable experience. Friendly staff. Amazing scenery surrounded us, we could enjoy these views from every angle on the ship. Really appreciate the staff (Nick, Lucy, Tony, Tom), totally worth the money.
