    Amazing trip! Very friendly staff and the value for money was good. Food was delicious, the room was clean and the tour to the cave was very interesting. The only thing that bothered us was transportation: the chairs in the shuttle bus were too small for European people (if >1.75m) and given that the shuttle trip takes three hours, it’s very uncomfortable. We recommend others to take the upgrade.

    We had a great time. There were only 8 people on the boat so we could relax what the idea was. Very varied and delicious food, fantastic service. The comfortable room does not perceive that you are in a boat. We did kayaking and took a very nice swim in the sea. 100% recommended.

    Frank, our guide was super friendly and ready to make every wish come true. We were able to go swimming in halong bay (most cruises do not allow this). It was a great experience! The transfer from/to hotel worked very very good (and flexible). We had a mixed group from all over the world and most of the guys were in the same age as we are (under 30). There was wifi on the boat and the crew was really nice. We can absolutely recommend Rosacruise!
