Grand Pioneers Halong Bay Cruise 2

This cruise is simply amazing! **Design:** First off, it's brand new. As an architect, I can say the interior design is very well thought out and organic. The large windows with minimal framing are particularly delightful, offering complete immersion and stunning views. **Service:** I've encountered good service in many places in Vietnam, but this level of excellence was unique to the cruise. **Food:** Almost everything was delicious. I wouldn't call it fine dining or Michelin-star quality, but some dishes were truly excellent. The seafood and rolls at lunch were a particular highlight. **Excursions:** The cruise offered two excursions. On the first day, we visited a massive cave. There were a lot of people – it felt like everyone from all the cruises gathered there at once! But the cave itself was very beautiful. In the morning, we went kayaking, again with many other people around. If it's your first time, it's definitely worth experiencing. For me, it's a 10/10 and definitely worth the money! P.S. The warm pool at sunset was a wonderful bonus.
