Super friendly host, route in Halong Bay away from tourists, hearty meals, varied and tasty. In addition, I noted at the time of booking that my daughters were vegan, they were served dishes as varied taking into account their tastes. Staff caring. Boat with human dimensions, we were not more than 25 people. In short, I strongly advise.

We have just returned from a 3 day 2 night cruise. It was amazing from start to finish. The guides were top quality. They were always at hand to deal with any queries or requirements.The boat was luxurious. The food plentiful and delicious. It is well worth doing the 3 day cruise as you get to kayak further into the bay where it is much quieter. The kayaking was particularly impressive. We got engaged whilst on the boat and the crew did all they could to make it perfect, including decorating the cabin with candles, flowers and a nice bottle of wine. The whole experience was unforgettable. It was the highlight of a magical holiday. We would love to come back in the future and use Swan Cruises.
