I just got back from the 2 day, 1 night cruise in Halong Bay, on the Pelican cruise boat. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The pickup in Hanoi went smoothly and then we were transferred to Halong Bay. I had a suite, with a private balcony and it was just amazing!!! We lucked out with having amazing weather. The food was very delicious for all meals! The staff were very friendly. I highly recommend this boat and it was one of the nicer ones that were out cruising!
